Zalman FG-1000 FPS GUN Gaming Mouse
Ergonomic grip
The reason the FPSGUN is designed like a upside-down gun us because it is places you hand in a more natural position. The grip is moulded to fit the palm
of your hand, making the FPSGUN very comfortable to hold. This design will aid to reduce RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury), which is ideal if you play FPS games
regularly. There is only one downside to this design, unfortunately if you are left-handed then this mouse would not be suitable.
Mouse button layout
The layout of the mouse buttons are extremely important for this type of design. They need to be easily accessible, just like a standard mouse. The right and
left click mouse buttons are located where you would normally expect the trigger for a real gun to be. The same fingers are used for right and left clicking as
a standard mouse. As you grip the FPSGUN your thumb will be able to access the scroll wheel along with two additional mouse buttons. For ease of use all
mouse buttons are customizable.

customized using the supplied software. The scroll wheel changes color depends on the chosen setting. The

Optical sensor location
Standard mice have the optical sensor located on the base of the mouse directly underneath the users palm, the FPSGUN is totally different. Also when
looking left or right in game the users wrist acts as a pivot, unlike a standard mouse. The reason for this is that the optical sensor on the FPSGUN is located
further down the mouse allowing for quick on screen movements without the psychical movement of the mouse. The diagrams below should help clarify
things a little better.
