The Meduza features a design for right-handers and offers extra comfort by using an extended thumb rest, a ring finger support and an index finger rest. Thanks to the HDST (laser + optical) technology, we can be sure that we won’t have any problems with jittering, skips or drift or any type of surface.
Epic Gear recommends the mouse to be used in the HOST mode with their Hybrid Pad, which is made from composite fabric and an unique textured weave, but when trying it on another high-end pad, ModMyMachine SlamePad, the mouse was still in top shape.
Meduza also has software through which we can customize in detail its functionality; most of the settings seen here are also available on GUIs from other manufacturers; we would have preferred though to see a windowed GUI instead of Full Screen, but hopefully this feature will be added in the next driver revision. From the total of 7 buttons, 6 are fully programmable and by accessing the profile switcher, we will be able to navigate through the 5 gaming profiles. Because of the small number of programmable buttons for a single profile, we may be tempted to recommend other mice for MMORPG games, like the Razer Naga series.
With a start like this, GeIL have demonstrated that they can manufacture good quality products even in the gaming peripheral department and we are waiting with interest to see what other peripherals will be launched in the near future.
The Meduza can be found in online stores for about 68 Euros and the specially designed Hybrid Pad for about 16 Euros.
