Zalman Gun Gaming Mouse at CeBit 08

I was just checking out stuff at the Zalman stall when I came across this sign - Don't click... FIRE! Curiosity got the better of the gamer in me, and I headed in that direction just to find this weird looking device in place of a mouse. There have been several mouse alternatives in the past but nothing came close to delivering in gaming the way a mouse does. Needless to say they all flopped. However this FPS Gun gaming mouse from Zalman looks a lot more promising. It is hard to describe how it looks. It has an unusual shape, somewhat like an inverted gun from Star Trek.On the technical front, it has a 2000 dpi laser sensor with image processing speed of up to 6,400 frames per second. It can handle a top speed of 15 inches per second with an acceleration of 15g. There are a fair number of programmable buttons on the device that are ergonomically placed to optimise the FPS (First Person Shooter) gaming experience. I tried my hand at COD2 Multiplayer and I have to admit that the device is pretty cool. It doesn't take much time to get a hang of it, and before too long I was giving some local German gamers a tough time (oh yes you were dude!). Having said that I am not sure I would want to replace my MX518 with the FPS Gun in Counter Strike yet, I certainly wouldn't mind using it in all single-player shooters that I play.
The Zalman FPS Gun debuted here at 45 Euros (approx Rs 2,700) It's India pricing and availability is not known yet.Source
