"Better than first impression!"
The MonsterGecko FPS mouse it much better than it looks. Trust me. Even I looked at it at first and thought it was a waste of time. But when I saw it for a great black Friday deal, I picked it up because I was curious. Now I can safely say it's well worth the purchase. The mouse has a good resolution, and the shame is more than a gimmick. It really does feel great to use, games or not! I recommend this product by far!

"Great at this price"
A very high quality novelty mouse. It still works like a mouse. It must stay on a surface. The one annoyance is the trigger has about 3/4 inch of play in it. With a "Trigger job" (duct tape over the slot) it was perfect. It gave my wrist a much needed rest. Worth the $3 I paid for it as a daily deal.

"Suprised by the high quality."
I bought this just because it was cheap and was not expecting much. This is a very WELL-MADE mouse. Getting used to it was not hard at all, despite what others say. Just make sure you calibrate the Pistol Mouse in windows, to move 'slower' than a normal mouse and it offers fine control. Nothing beats this and the Nostromo N52 for first person shooters.

"Know what you're getting..."
The MonsterGecko Pistol Mouse really isn't such a bad product, if you know what you're getting going in. I've read many a review where the author expresses disappointment that it's "just a mouse," and indeed, that's all it really is. You can't point into the screen with it, and you have to leave the base on your "mousing surface" in order to use it. Now that we have that out of the way, if you're willing to put up with it for a bit, the Pistol Mouse is a very usable, if altogether unnecessary bit of novelty tech.

Once retailing for as much as $70, the Pistol Mouse can be had for $10 or less these days. There is a definite learning curve when you first start to use the controller, and most people aren't used to "mousing" with your hand basically making a fist. Another cause of the learning curve is that the optical is located at the very front of the platform, which results in very different, curving movements than most people are used to using with traditional mice. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and it definitely takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually rather intuitive.

All-in-all, this is more a novelty item than anything else. While it is usuable, the learning curve is definitely steeper than with a standard mouse (second nature to most folks at this point), and most people just won't want to deal with that. On the other hand, the PistolMouse feels good and definitely isn't a cheaply-made product. If you can get one for $10 or less, it might be worth checking out.

"Great Mouse."
This mouse has Great written all over it. Of course there is one or two things that I personally don't like(Smells of iodine, and weak wires) but overall I love it.
This mouse glides smoothly over any surface you decide to use it on. Its design allows for hours of play with no hand cramps, and it give you the feel of aiming at an opponent. The grips are changeable, so if you don't like them or they start to wear, then you can replace them.
I can't think of a better mouse to use while gaming.
