I'm abit of a quake veteran at the ripe old age of 28 having started playing way back in the early days of quake world. Being more and more hardcore throughout the following releases, however, taking a complete break during quake 4...;)
I've always had a slight mouse and config fetish which was very much a love hate relationship a lot of the time :) I've used quite a vast selection of mice over the years, most recently I did a 5 year stint on the landmark pointing device - the wheel mouse optical 1.1a. This was the longest period I'd ever stuck with a mouse. Out of boredom I tried out a deathadder 3.5G a while back which led to the purchase of an abyssus having loved the superior razor sensor over the old Microsoft but hated the heavy shape. I much preferred the abyssus over the deathadder but still the shape sucked donkey shlong.
When a caught wind of people making their own hybrid mice dubbed the kinzuadder I had to get hold of one. The shape and sensor seemed a dream combination for me. A very kind member of this site made me my very own kinzuadder and sent it out to me 2 weeks ago. The kinzuadder is 'the' best pointing device I've ever had :) it quite literally has no bad points and is pretty much perfect in every respect. The build quality is very solid yet light. It's the tried and tested shape of the 1.1a but with the best sensor to date (the 3G razor) but with improved lift off distance. I freakin' love this mouse! :)
