If you've ever played an MMO, a problem you'll run into is that screen real estate quickly becomes an issue as you attempt to balance the number of hotbars filled with character skills, spells, and items, while somehow maintaining enough game visibility to make sense of your character's surroundings. The issue that immediately arises after that is, man, those are a ton of skills, spells, items, and equipment sets that you need to somehow be able to conveniently reach in a split second. That's where gaming mice come in. Before now, the Razer Naga was really the only MMO-tailored mouse in town, but Logitech has something to say about that with their new G600 MMO gaming mouse. I spent a week with the 20-buttoned beast. Let's see how that went.

The folks over at Shogun Bros. have developed the Chameleon X-1, the hybrid mouse that looks like a fairly standard wireless mouse from above, but hides an actual gaming controller underneath. The mouse isn't available yet, with the Shogun Bros. identifying the release window as "soon," also disclosing the price to be around $55; about the price for a worthwhile console gaming controller or a standard gaming mouse.
