A few people have PMed me asking why TteSports is allowed to make "advertisements" so before I get accused of being a biased nazi dictator let me explain.

Most people just make advertisements that will help themselves. But in the case of TteSports they have genuinely helped the community, and we in return would like to help them (to a reasonable extent). TteSports meet this criteria because:

• They have helped sponsor the last 2 SC2SEA master cups along with Eddie as well as team iCHOR tournaments and charity events.
• They sponsor the team SQLT
• They sponsor the team Tt
• They produce weekly quality game shows
• They often have nice give aways
• Mayo has asked for permission for this news post, as he always does
• In general they encourage the eSports scene to grow further.

Yea so hope that clears it up. You generally aren't allowed to post advertisements unless you're done alot for the community like TteSports has - and even in their "advertisements" they usually have alot of great freebies for the community, like in this post.

	inFeZa:	This aint really an advertisement either. and there's no T in sequential, SQL - Tt :) <3 (i dont think this is an advertisement anyway)

	Mayo:	Don't forget MEKA.Tt (Kowi) :P
	Welshy:	And the bossman has spoken B)
	Bash:	THEY ASKED FIRST.< Thats important. , well played sir.
	Fadey:
	ToRSmotPokingFish:

[Paroxysm]

To be honest this thread isn't an advertisement as such. There is a significant difference between advertising (which is generally the promotional side of marketing) and legitimate testing and development. Besides, i'm certain that the majority of SEA users have seen the impact that TteSPORTS is having on our community and if people think that its bad well, **** the haters.

All of the representatives of Thermaltake have contributed so much to the community and impacted on our niche so positively that it shouldn't matter if one advertisement - and one which is similar to a competition in which anyone can win (if you are from New Zealand and Australia ) - is posted once every blue moon.

What criteria are you going to use to pick the winners? Do non top tier players/proven reviewers have a chance?

[Mayo]

This is for community members mate, it's all in your answers.

No use giving it to all top players across different communities as they are usually set in their ways and/or sponsored!

All mice have been mailed as of today!

Next Wednesday I will make a thread for users responses.

Don't forget that you need to write 2 paragraphs on your thoughts/testing of the mouse, provide a list of pro's and con's and also provide a score out of 10!

Please be honest in your reviews.
If this turns out ok, we may very well do more in the future!

[Hydroid]

Just to be clear. Is that 2 paragraph parameter also a limit on the maximum size that we need to fit within or is that purely a guideline for the minimum requirement?

[Mayo]

Minimum mate

[Hydroid]

Alright good to know thanks.

[Xeper]

Hi Mayo,
I would love if you could say to us when the release could be in Europe. I just fell in love with this mouse and would love to know when i will be able to satisfy my feelings.

Just had a long search for a good mouse lately and they all failed me:
Imperator 4g huge Acceleration
Mionix Naos 5000 Problems out of the Box with left mouse button and bad drivers (no automatised Profile change or a button for it)
Rat7 same as Imperator (both twin eye sensor)
Kone+ damaged mouse wheel
Please say the theron isn't using a twin eye

[Hydroid]

WOOO!!! Mine arrived this morning. Off to gym and then I get to come back and have fun with it.

I'm not 100% sure on the release date sorry man, just keep checking your local stores.

It should be released within a month or two from now though!

[Xeper]

Thanks for the answer well i will just wait.

for the reviewers :
1.I would be happy if you could give some comparison pics with other mice (to get a feeling for its dimensions)
2.Can you auto change profiles with a start of a programm?
3.Also i would love if you could try to test the acceleration

All components which should be covered in even a half decent review, so yes you will be seeing those things. At least I can assure that from mine.

Hey bro. I haven't received the mouse yet (Maybe because I live in NZ and it takes more time to get here?) but if I manage to get it before Thursday, do you still want your review done by the deadline you posted although I didn't get to play it for more than a week?

Thank you

[Rockstar]

Just like to say that I got a TT esports mouse last friday for $59 on special at umart in Brisbane and it's AWESOME! 6500 dpi I actually lost a game because it was so dead on and precise it took me a while to get used to how accurate it is. On top of this the LED's are sweet as. $59 is ridiculously cheap for such a pro mouse. There's even little weights an shit in it so you can set the weight you prefer... The buttons return so quickly it's pretty much increased my apm by like 20 I reckon.

Gave my old Razer mouse to my gf, it cost me $100 and isn't anywhere near as pro as this bad boy.

TT Esports black element gaming mouse is what it's called. awesome.

disclaimer: I may or may not have been subconsciously effected by pigs subtle advertising.

I have posted the feedback thread here: http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?p=62904#post62904

I will emphasize this part of the post:

This is the thread for everyone to post their user reviews, I ask kindly for NOONE bar the testers to post until all tester reviews are completed (I'll make a post then).

[Rockstar]

Yeah Mayo the black element. lovin it

edit: for anyone interested its actually $56 at umart which is an online store that ships all throughout Australia too I believe, I can't link directly but

http://www.umart.com.au/newindex2.phtml?bid=2 if you go there, click mouse on the tabs on teh left and the very top of the page it has 2 specials, one which is the black element for $56. sooooo cheap for what you get.

[Hydroid]

Well I just finished writing up my review and formatting it. Posted in the thread. I hope it is satisfactory Mayo.
