Truth is there are much better PC gaming input devices out there...
Great for playing FPS games with excellent horizontal accuracy...
Pretty poor for everything else, too small for normal sized hands...

Zalman's first foray into peripherals is a gaming mouse with a difference. Gripping the rear pillar like a joystick, your index finger rests on what would be the left button in a conventional mouse. Plug it in and, in achingly teenage fashion, the thum...

For many years it has been the case that if you were a gamer you would have purchased a specialised gaming mouse, or at least you would own a high-calibre mouse. However now, there are a few alternatives on the market designed specifically to try and chan...

Zalman FPSGun from the back The FPSGun itself is a mouse made for FPS gaming, and it actually does that quite well. The raw specs on it are exactly what a hardcore gamer likes to see, 2000DPI tracking, 1000Hz polling rate, and light enough to fling...

FPS, or first person shooter, is the most popular genre of PC games. No console controller has surpassed the mouse as the weapon of choice among FPS enthusiasts. Zalman, a company known as a maker of coolers, is trying to woo FPS players with a gun sha...

When I first saw the Zalman FPS Gun I thought it was something you point at the screen and pull a trigger like a Wii remote. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find that it was similar to a regular mouse with a few improvements, or “enhancement...
Good Tracking/Accuracy, Button Customization, Quick DPI change, Comfortable, Fun...
Not for hardcore gaming, Not a big boost to gameplay...
While this “Gun” isnt something you want to protect yourself with, it certainly can kill pixels. Good accuracy, tracking, and comfort make it an excellent addition to your arsenal. While perhaps not for the extreme gamer, given the right circu...

With the considerable number of gaming mice out there, its sometimes easy to become lost in the sea of features and specifications. Do I need 2000, 3200 or even 4000 DPI? What about extra buttons? Wireless or wired? And, above all, is it comfortabl...
Okay, lets admit it: The FPSGun looks tacky and gimmicky. But it performs well and definitely surprised me with its functionality. For the most part, its designed well, especially for a device that could have been much, much worse. For hardcore FPS...

Zalman is famous enough for its quality PC cooling and liquid cooling devices as well as fans, modding accessories, PC enclosures, gaming headphones, and even 3D monitors. But today we are going to review a "ballon dessai" of quite a different domain...
On the whole, this mouse is interesting and quite usable. That is, its a worthy product for your computer. It can be used for games and other applications. I have a feeling that its a touchstone. If users like it (which is hard to guess), they can e...

Gaming mice are probably the most important peripheral hardcore gamers can invest in, so cost is not usually an issue if the gains are noticeable. What Zalman is asking you to do though is to buy into an idea, a concept – one that may or may not work a...

To pervert a well known phrase: there are gaming mice and then there are gaming mice. Sure, chucking a high-dpi laser and a couple of extra buttons to your bog standard rodent might convince a few people you have the next big thing in peripheral technolog...
Ultimately the FPSGUN is one of those products apparently created to fill a gap in the market that doesn't really exist. Sure, there may be a few kids who get a kick out of using a mouse shaped like a gun on their favourite Counter-Strike server. I'll hap...

We've tested some crazy mice over the years, from ergonomic wonders designed to prevent RSI to dedicated gaming mice shaped like an actual handgun, but the new Zalman FPSGun is one of the oddest-looking designs we've ever tested. We approve of its neut...
Increased horizontal accuracy seemed to help in shooters. Multiple profiles and mousewheel placed in unique location by thumb.
Too small for most people to use. Gain horizontal control at the expense of vertical movement. Poor documentation.

I have always been frustrated using a standard mouse when it comes to playing FPS on a PC. Granted, most of that is due to the fact that I suck—but I digress. Zalman's new FPSGun FG1000 is attempting to incorporate a more visceral experience int...
