It started on February 28th, Shipping tracking is not being updated last March 7. and I have not received it yet.
I did not receive any messages from DHL, and I have no idea what happened.
I bought this through Massdrop and recieved it. What I got was unattained potential. The buttons don't really help when attempting to apply input to game controls. Two of the buttons are for changing the light color. The main thing that pissed me off though was its horrendous tracking. Randomly teleports your mouse as if you suddenly slid your mouse over instantaneous. I've lost many games, died many times, etc. Due to its awful tracking glitch. Thank you Roccat for this expensive lie.
AsymetrikThe software will automatically find it and ask to update when you first run Swarm... for some reason Roccat doesn't offer it as a direct download.
zaphrodboxha, it's just 1 mice unfortunately. i got one on last drop. its an awesome mouse, i just bought another one for work last week too. the fins and the shift thumb button are so handy.
even with just 1 mice its a great deal at $99 in my opinion, esp with the mouse pad which is actually pretty nice. it is a bit thick, but if thats fine its very nice overall.
Got mine yesterday. Build quality on the mouse is great, clicks are a little heavier than the g900, tracking is great, I really like the docking station instead of a loose cable like the g900.
Mouse pad is a no go for me. Small size (relative to the xxxl style that is popular now), solid mats always chew up my mice feet. Because it's reversible the grip at the corners raise it up maybe 1/8" which is unpleasant on the arm/wrist and the wrist rest itself is pointless.
This drop is hopeless. I just received an email saying it’s going to be delayed. Last time I joined this drop, it was delayed so much that I cancelled because my patient ran out. I guess this is happening all over again.
AVOID! A month since this drop ended and just got an email saying they have no clue when they will be able to fulfill the order. Just an email saying "if it takes another month we will contact you again". Really wanted this mouse, but rather pay full price and actually be able to use it.
AemerginIt seems to be a common issue with Massdrop. When it happened to me I started researching the issue, and found tons of the exact same complaints from other drops. The way they advertise it, it makes you think that they have this volume discount all set up. With the units ready to go if the goals are hit. But it seems to be the exact opposite. They set the goals, then try to shop around for a supplier willing to meet the price necessary for the drop.
Yes there are some drops that are done in conjunction with the manufacture, where the supply actually exists and they have a contract in place ahead of time to fulfill orders as soon as goals are met. But that seems to be the exception, not the rule.
Just to chime in here. I am using the Leadr personally with the mouse pad provided in this drop for the last couple of months. I have used alot of mice over the years including the best from logitech, razer, mionix, corsair, and many others. Hands down this is the best mouse I have ever used. I will also say that the increased reaction time, and accuracy is noticeable when using this mouse pad. While it is not necessary it does make a big difference. Either way its an amazing product.
Tex-ArozziI have Razer's version of this mouse pad. Razer is the first company, that I know of, to release a mouse pad of this type. I have their old school eXactMat and have been using it for a decade now, or close to it. I have had it since some time in 2007 or early 2008. It's an aluminum mouse pad with both a speed and a control side. The Razer Vespula was the replacement for the eXactMat, so that's not the one I'm referring to. My eXactMat looks slightly different and has a very different name.
I wasn't knocking the mouse pad for this drop, and in fact I join this drop earlier today before it ended because I really do want a wireless mouse. I could actually use a new mouse pad as the wrist rest on my eXactMat is worn out after a decade of use. Though I will give Razer credit in that it has held help very well over the 10 years and over 22,000 hours, minimum, that I've been using it.
There is one obvious design flaw with the Alumic Mousepad, and that is the wrist rest does not secure to the mousepad in any way. With the eXactMat, the wrist rest has a thin rubber mat, slightly smaller than the size of the mouse pad, that the mouse pad sits on to keep the wrist rest in place. The mousepad has it's own rubber feet that allow it to rest securely on it's own without that pad for people who don't want to use the wrist rest. But it's a design element that, at least IMO, makes the eXactMat far better than any other mousepad on the market.
Again it's an aluminum pad, just like the Roccat one and it has both a speed and a control side, just like the Roccat one. But it's wrist rest is implemented far better. I'll obviously have to test the Roccat one to see how it works, but I'm already concerned about rolling the rest wrist off the edge of my desk. Or at the very least it moving out of optimal position. I personally move around a lot in my seat, so having my wrist rest secured to the desk by a large rubber pad nearly the size of the mouse pad, then weighted down by that mouse pad will be something I'll miss.
I may end up needing to try and sell the Alumic second hand then using that money to buy a Vespula, since Razer did keep the design element with the full size rubber pad attached to the wrist rest. I only need to do that since I've basically worn out the gel after 10 years in the position my wrist normally sits on my eXactMat.
So, I'm excited for the mouse, the drop with the mousepad is still slightly less expensive than the mouse on it's own. But I don't see anything about the Alumic Mousepad that makes it superior to any other mousepad on the market of similar design. I only see things that make it worse, like the loose wrist rest.
Also, and this is a completely unique use case, but I have a large 3 foot mouse pad that my keyboard and Razer Tartarus sit on, and due to the spacing of my desk, the edge of my eXactMat overlaps that just a tiny bit. Due to it sitting on that rubber pad for the wrist rest, its at just the perfect height to overlap that other pad while remaining level.
