Conclusion
Ergonomically, many would say that the Rotokiller leaves something to be desired. I can see the purpose for making the design so tiny, but at the same time they made it difficult to master for those with larger hands. Not to say that I have large hands, because I don't. The buttons are small and not separated by much at all. They tried to make the experience a little less painful by including an option for the buttons to flash codes when pressed or when shifted, but it still didn't ensure that I always hit the button I wanted to.
The RTR-720 has me split. Part of me is grateful for the design innovations that it has brought to the gaming mouse. Part of me is a tad bit frustrated by the shape and controls. I would have loved to test this out with games on my Windows XP machine. Any device that lacks support for Microsoft's new operating system has a major hurdle to jump. Good Work Systems's web site is very informative, but I still would've liked to see some printed documentation come with the Rotokiller. All that was said as far as installation is concerned is to run the installer on the CD before plugging in the mouse. The product is quite simplistic in nature, but some features will undoubtedly mystify users without a manual by their side.
SLRating: 6.5/10
