Logitech has a very long and storied history of producing top shelf gaming mice, with the G502 lineage arguably being their most famed. Yet, that line wasn't always Logitech's flagship full-featured ergo mouse - it was actually once second tier to a mouse that was even better in a lot of ways that mattered: the G700s. Logitech forgot all about it. You shouldn't.

This one was a very long time coming. A mouse that I've wanted to try since I was a kid, and now I've finally got my hands on one. This is the Razer Boomslang 2007 - a collector focused revival of what is widely regarded as the first purpose-built gaming mouse. Does it live up to the legacy?

If you read my M.M.O. 7+ review and wondered how well it actually compares to the original - you're now in luck. Is the new mouse actually worth dropping some serious change on over the decade-plus old classic? Or is the OG still good enough to negate it?

I've been using the Mad Catz R.A.T. 8+ ADV at my desk for far longer than I ever thought I would - but the only thing that stopped me short of outright recommending it at MSRP was the lack of a wireless option. Well, Mad Catz finally did it - and now gracing my desk is the new M.M.O. 7+. Let's see if it clicks.

It's been a while since I've reviewed a normal mouse, though normal mice by my definition are usually button and RGB festooned monstrosities that weigh as much as a brick. This one however, takes that to a whole new extreme. This is the R.A.T. 8+ ADV. It's definitely not from this timeline.

Not too long ago, I settled on Microsoft's old Trackball Explorer as trackball nirvana. Unfortunately, it's been out of production for well over a decade and the MTE's closest modern equivalents don't really hit all the same notes... except for one. Enter the Sanwa Gravi, a trackball you've almost definitely been sleeping on.

Up next is another once highly regarded Logitech trackball that has also been absent from their lineup for a little over a decade at this point: the Cordless Optical Trackman. Despite it's chops, and some promising features, you probably shouldn't buy one. Here's why.

It would be a disservice - me doing a trackball extravaganza, and not trying what's widely regarded as the greatest one ever made: the Microsoft Trackball Explorer. But despite this thing's glowing reputation, it's still a two-decade old peripheral. Is it still deserving of all the praise, or did time finally catch up? Let's find out.

Up next in my little trackball deep dive is an offering from Logitech that's held in very high esteem by the community thanks to it's radical shape, but it also has been absent from the market for roughly two decades at this point. What the hell happened to it? And is it even any good? Let's take a look.

Just on a whim, I decided to hook myself up with some computer trackballs so I could see if this long overshadowed alternative to desktop rodents was ever worthwhile. I'll be doing a few reviews of these in the coming days, and first up we have the hilariously christened Elecom Huge. It certainly lives up to it's name - for better or worse.

It's been a good seven years since I last upgraded my mouse and I finally decided it was time to try something a bit different. Enter the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro, Razer's most feature packed - and unintentionally productivity geared mouse to date. Is it worth the staggeringly high premium? Let's find out.
