MonsterGecko has finally revealed its secret weapon, aimed to improve the control of our 3D FPS experience. The device is the company's first high performance gaming mouse designed and styled specifically for 3D first-person shooter games. The PistolMouse FPS offers players faster reaction speed and better precision with its realistic pistol styling, multiple anodized aluminum triggers, over-size selectable scroll wheel, ergonomic hand position, and high-resolution optical tracking.

While first-person shooter video games have been one of the hottest selling PC game categories, gamers are primarily using standard keyboards and mice to play them. For serious gamers, nothing has been a suitable replacement for this combination. The PistolMouse FPS is designed to provide 3D gamers with a unique advantage in both single-player and multi-player environments over traditional mouse designs.

Joysticks and gamepads don’t provide the resolution and accuracy needed for first-person shooters, said Ain McKendrick, co-founder and CEO of MonsterGecko. The PistolMouse FPS is designed to maintain the precision of a high-resolution optical mouse, but improves on ergonomics and player reaction speed to give gamers a competitive edge.

The PistolMouse FPS includes a primary and secondary grip trigger, plus an ambidextrous selectable thumb scroll wheel for both right and left handed players. By not having to reposition fingers, the PistolMouse FPS design gives gamers instant activation of four separate controls. The unique patent-pending base design of the PistolMouse FPS incorporates an offset optical sensor for quick response with simple wrist action.

The PistolMouse FPS has a MSRP of USD 69.95 and is compatible with both PC and Macintosh computers with a USB port. The PistolMouse FPS will be available this June at U.S. retail outlets. If you wish to purchase it online now, follow the download tab above.
 
....That's the lamest thing I've seen in my life.

Just an opinion, so do whatever you want with it.
 
Ok, so.. the barrel is the optical sensor? I'm confused as to how this works :|
 
well i guess its supposed to make it more realistic but seriously....when your character is holding a pistol thats cool and all. but when your holding a huge rocket launcher it just wouldnt feel right lol.

illl stick with the mouse :)
 
I'd rather play Time Crisis 3 or something than use that thing on HL2.
 
no, it doesn't have an optical sensor, it's jsut a mouse shaped like a pistol.

800dpi High Resolution Optical sensor

Just like an optical mouse. I'm just wondering *where* the sensor is located

Ew. You move the entire "gun" around? Just like a mouse!? What's the point?

Edit 2: Now I'm confused, do you move the entire base around, or just move the gun in different directions? lol
 
Maybe they'll make a knife or grenade mouse, maybe a C4 mouse.
 
The key to this thing is your left to right movement. It's just a mouse but you hold it like a gun and when you move left or right you are moving your wrist normally instead of moving your whole arm. Don't call something stupid unless your actually tried it.
 
lol - i've seen this before.

What a complete crock :)
 
ya saw this awhile back ...dont think i'd like to try it ...something just not right about it
