Review: Cyborg M.M.O. 7 Gaming Mouse

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to my text-only review of the Cyborg M.M.O. 7 Gaming Mouse.  My second ever attempt at a review.  Since my previous review attracted no negative comments or suggestions, I'll be proceeding in much the same style - this means lots of words but hopefully lots of useful words.

QUICK SUMMARY

A premium gaming mouse primarily aimed at the online RPG player.  Extra attention has been payed to the ability to customise the physical size, shape and weight of the mouse for more a more comfortable experience.  Noteable design elements include independant high-resolution sensors for each major axis (X/Y), user configurable lighting and several adjustable and/or switchable physical features.

In all there are 14 push-buttons, a 4-way controller and 2 rollers, in addition to the two standard movement axes.  Directly accessible software configuration allows for 11 momentary functions and 1 rotary function, with an extra 2 momentary functions available via a firmware tool.  A dedicated Shift and 3-setting Profile button allow for a total of 66 (72 with the firmware tool) unique momentary configurations and 6 rotary configurations.  Up to 4 separate, user-defined sensitivity settings can be cycled via a dedicated button.

Tech tip: Emulation and DOSBox

While a lot of more enthusiastic PC users are already familiar with the potential benefits of emulation - having your desktop, laptop or even tablet PC pretend to be something else - there are still a great number of other people less involved in technology that may still be able to benefit from such things.  Today, I'd like to take a moment to write a little bit about one which I referenced in my previous review of the Saitek X52 Pro:

DOSBox.
