"rat cyborg" is an extremely unrewarding google image search.

I'm not sure I agree. That's the most intense mouse I have ever seen.

I'm sensing a certain aesthetic on the bottom right

That's my mouse, actually.

How would you rate it?

I like it, the buttons all work and the mouse is fine.

I wouldn't buy it now though, the software is crap, haven't gotten it working in windows 10, and there are much better mice out there for less price. This is "batman is cool" "I love gaming, I'm a gamer, I have money" bait more than it is an awesome mouse.

I love the thing, and am using it now, but you can do better nowadays.

I did eight years with a Mouseman Wheel, ten years with an MX Revolution and I've had an MX Master since they came out, thereby crushing the formidable secondary market on used MX Revolution parts. If you're looking for a mouse, that form factor got me through four revs of AutoCAD, three revs of Logic and two revs of Pro Tools, 8-10 hours a day, for 19 years.

No idea if it's any good for gaming.

A pretense mouse if ever there were one.

While we are off-topic, I lied to the postal worker today about my flat rate not containing liquids or perishables. Just two bottles. Probably far hoppier than you'd prefer. Not obscenely so, but it's an IPA. Do me the favor to make sure they are cold and in a glass.

Enjoy, but no worries if you don't. I would hate the best stuffed cabbage that has ever been cooked.

Does the restaurant "Amadeus" still exist in Ann Arbor? It was right across from the parking structure on Washington... I think. Anyways, they had the best stuffed cabbage I've ever had. -If you ever want to test your assumption.

The guy who ran the place was named Bartek and The New Green had a song called "Idiot Stranger" that was loosely inspired by him. When I wrote it I couldn't get the phrase, "I'm Bartek, the idiot stranger..." out of my head.

His name reminded me of Balky from the TV show Perfect Stranger.

All this makes no sense, I'm sure.

Enjoy the brew KB!

Have a song:

It does. I had a fantastic smoked kielbasa there. My wife couldn't understand it.

I believe she had the stuffed cabbage. I'll have to ask her opinion.

I had smoked kielbasa tonight. Grilled. Actually, I'm sitting on my deck right now. It's pretty awesome. This may be my favorite time of year. Perfect temp and no mosquitos.
