I got nothing and I am OK with that. We did remodeling on our house this year which sucked a lot of money up so we decided to take a small 2 day trip out of town for our christmas present. Only thing I will get myself if GTA 5 when it comes up for order.

Will never forget the look an my daughters face when she realized the remote control on her new phone would turn off all the tv s in Mcdonalds.
Once we had done that we took a special trip to
Currys PC world and turned off some of their tellys as well.

Excellent fun.
I think everyone should give it a go

hum a copycat from the G600 by trust but it adds weight modularity and some little difference that make it a bit better (build quality wise it's under a G600 but not bad at all either)

also the configuration soft is not that bad and the DPI range from 1000 to 16400 poling rate from 125 to 1000hz (quite a pain after so much time on a G602 at 2600dpi ... bahaha in fact i use a 2900dpi on that one) the light option is nice (just as the G600) and the shape is a bit more comfy, just the "fire button" (the little red near the left click) is not that practical, the cord is long enough and not too stiff, for the price of it ... it was worth to give a shot xD
