Genius GX Gaming Gila Mouse Review

The problem with designing for the enthusiast gaming market is that the needs and wants of the user base are more mercurial than any other segment. Aesthetic tastes can change on a whim and new technologies are always emerging to replace something that mainstream users are only getting to know now. There is also the risk of being too much for too little, or worse, providing too little for too much.  It is a balancing act that manufacturers dread but know have to do, since the flag ship product sets the tone for the rest of the line. For Genius’ GX Gaming brand, the Gila represents their high-end gaming mouse and so far it has impressed many of discerning tastes and has even earned a CES 2013 Design and Engineering award. Whether it is worthy of the hype or not is exactly why you are reading this article.
