Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Raptor-Gaming spawned the MX3 Gaming mouse and released it here in the states through CompuExpert this year. The MX3 is a max 4800 dpi gaming mouse with on-the-fly dpi changing capabilities. I have used many mice in the past, from HP standard ball mouse to a 5000 Dpi mouse. The bulky MX3 out of the packaging is a bit overwhelming when seeing its size (that’s what she said). In the box comes a set of weights, carrying bag for the mouse and weights. The 6 button mouse is a bit interesting nothing like i have used before. Many of the buttons that are on the MX3 seem to be out of place. It does have the sensitivity of being oiled up naked and slid down a luge track.

Pros

The MX3 can hold its own when it comes down sensitivity, at 4800 dpi. The mouse does give you an on-the-fly changing button that is illuminated by a small led light that is designated to 6 different preset dpi levels, from 400 to 4800 dpi. Like all good mice the MX3 comes with weights that are placed in it’s under belly. There are 2 carrying cases that come with the mouse, one for the mouse and a second one for the weights.

Cons

Not many things can be said about the MX3 that are good, I feel that there are many design flaws especially the fact that it is a right handed only design. Starting with the body of the MX3, it’s bulky, awkward, and one too many buttons. The body of the mouse started to come apart within 3 weeks of light usage. On the bottom instead of built in pads or some sort of friction reducing base, it has stickers that fell off out off when I took it out of the packaging. Good thing Raptor-Gaming gives you 3 sets of the stickers to replace the ones that fell off in the first 5 minutes. The plastic around the mouse feels breakable, but let’s face it most mice feel like that. The scroll wheel is smaller than normal mice; my fingers run on the mouse some of the time if I press too hard. There is a small button that sits next to the scroll wheel that stops your finger every time you roll it over the wheel. At a high dpi setting you have the mouse float and wonder down the screen. One main problem I have with the mouse is no driver support and only an on board OS. I have used many mice in the past and this one I just had to put away.

I am very disappointed in this product. I am surprised after using the headset by Raptor-Gaming I would have the same great quality in the mouse. Raptor-Gaming should get out of the gaming mice business and stick to their amazing headsets. The MX3 is way over priced at $70.00, if you can find it for less than $30.00 in the bargain bin than go for it, but I do not recommend this mouse. The MX3 could have been an amazing gaming mouse but with so many flaws it is the little train that couldn’t, came back down the hill and took out the train station.
