Mouse: Rival 700 (Steelseries)

Anyone gonna buy this new Steelseries mouse?
The 'Rival 700'

Looks fancy to me. But what intrigues me is how that mouse can 'count your headshots, your kills,...'.
Seems 'new' age of cheating will be created (ignoring that CSGO-LAN incident with USB hacks.)?
What do you think?

seems like its aimed for cod people
CSGO, they used CSGO to pormote their mouse.

well for 12 year olds in general then because who the fuck in theyr right mind would buy a vibrating mouse with a fucking oled screen and headshot counter in it

Your missing the point...
Take ET for example:

Set spawntimer 1-2 sec before the actual spawntimer. You can set a vibrating (smaal vibrate) alert.

I don't know how, but it check your health as well. And also give you a sign.
Which is very creepy that external software can do this. Which means this software can be detected as a hack. Because how does it work otherwise if not with using hooks?
And how do these hooks be so dynamic, that it can work in all (recent to popular) games, as they are trying to say?

Creepy shit this is, creepy shit. The moment some coder looks at this. NEW AGE OF CHEATING.

I will buy this mouse just because I'm curious how it works. I bet my life for it that not every FPS game will work.
Probably they will announce a list of all games that work together with the mouse. Starting with CSGO. Which also would means VAC should be updated, maybe CSGO as well. But I doubt the latter.
This shit intrigues me a bit to much. So much, I'll probably will waste +100$ for this mouse.

yeh i get ur point. was thinking of games that could benefit from these alerts and only game that came to mind is quakelive and timing items. if the build quality of the mouse is any good its gonna cost like 150e i think :D

"Hey, let's give you exactly the same mouse, but with shit features that have no real use and charge you extra €50"
Lol who the fuck are you

Or just get a Zowie, cheaper and better.
Hopefully they've improved the thumb button, the rival 300 is way too high up :<
Weight: 159g
pls moar
QuoteLocated on the mouse's front, left side is a small display that can show not only mouse settings (macro configuration, sensitivity, etc) but information from games. How many headshots have you made? What's your character's health.

amazing, why check your health by slightly averting your eyes to a corner when you can completely turn away from your monitor and stare at your mouse instead?
Obviously, check it after your round (CSGO).
The vibrating part is what's troubling me to buy this mouse (but you can turn it off).
Weight 159 grams, with vibrating = bad. That's like the PS4 Controller, but worst.
