Gamers already have a ton of options when it comes to gaming mice -- thanks to Shogun Bros., that number just hit a ton plus one. The company claims that its newly unveiled (but not yet available) Ballista MK-1 Gaming Mouse is tailor-made to make the lives of online campers -- pardon me, online "snipers" -- more cushy than ever before with a bevy of sharpshooter-friendly features.
According to Shogun Bros.' press release, the mouse rocks 5,700 DPI and 11,570 fps movement tracking -- when you make a movement, the mouse should definitely register it. The DPI of the X and Y axis are totally separate and open to individual tweaking. The Ballista MK-1 packs in presets with 20 different DPI settings for different gaming types, there's 11 macro buttons, and a side button that allows gamers to drop into a Speed Shot mode. (Hey, that doesn't sound very sniper-like!)
No word on pricing, but the mouse will be available in the second quarter.

My G500 just feels too "right" for me to replace it. Love those triple thumb buttons (Forward, Back, and Middle Click) and customized weight.

Maybe this one will fare better than the failure that was the R.A.T. series mice.

Not a failure at all. I use my R.A.T. 7 for sniping in TF2, and haven't had a single issue with it as long as I have the proper dpi settings set up.
What did you not like about it?

They're not loved by everyone, but saying they're a failure is pretty far off the mark.
