We've taken a look at a couple of products from
Everglide intended to make your computer gaming experience more enjoyable. They are back with another pair of products to compliment the
mouse mat and
headphones we recently reviewed.
The
Everglide g-1000 Professional Gaming Mouse is pictured in the promotional image above and is the subject of this review. Sporting a stylish design and the term "Professional Gaming" in the product name, I have high expectations for some serious performance. In addition to the g-1000 mouse, we will also take a look at Everglide's Mouse Glidez, which are slick feet to be stuck to the base of your mouse for even smoother motion.
The g-1000 also carries a price tag under
$30 (US), so I am even more hopeful that the performance makes it worth recommending, since the price makes it well within the reach of most enthusiasts looking for an edge in games (or just typical desktop applications).
Before jumping into the heart of the review, let's take a look at some of the published data from the Everglide website.
