Gigabyte's GM-M7800S is a bit more extravagant than your every day run-of-the-mill wireless mouse, built to be classy, flashy, and probably crazy expensive.
A few days ago, Gigabyte revealed the GM-M7800S, a wireless mouse that takes web surfing, game playing, and document editing to a whole new level.
The GM-M7800S is a bit more extravagant than your every day run-of-the-mill device, built to be classy, flashy, and probably crazy expensive. According to the company, this overloaded mouse will "accomplish your luxurious fantasy," perhaps indicating that World of Warcraft players will be able to demonstrate their unique style and taste by caressing its high quality leather surface with each swoosh of a virtual sword.
The company originally set out to create a wireless mouse that offered the same high standards experienced with exquisite goods, the same "design excellence." Gigabyte thus applied several Swarovski crystals and soft leather to the shell of a mouse, bordered by two-tone stitching along the edges. To crank "luxury" up an extra notch, Gigabyte coated the dpi switch and the Internet back and forward button with 18K gold plating. Unfortunately, Gigabyte didn't offer any release dates or price points, and frankly, with all the leather and gold plastered onto its hull, we were a bit afraid to ask.
On the hardware front however, the GM-M7800S seems like a genuine device despite its showy exterior. The company said that its 2.4 GHz wireless nano receiver can plug into desktops and laptops, offering maximum data transfer rates of 2 Mbps. The mouse also supports 10-meter transmission, and even features a reduction in power consumption. Additionally, the mouse uses advanced laser tracking, providing a 1600 and 800 DPI adjustable resolution for precision card moving during runs of Hearts or Solitaire.
"GM-M7800S is another Gigabyte commitment to bring fashion, style and exquisiteness to PC life," the company said. "It’s built to be classy."
Gigabyte is probably best known for its computer hardware, most notably its PC motherboards and graphics accelerator cards. While the company has not created a product-specific page for the GM-M7800S, a teaser image labeled with "Coming Soon" currently slides across the screen on the front page. A quick scan through the Gigabyte software yielded no lavish results, especially when looking for gold-plated motherboards or keyboards. The GK-K6800, its "Luxury Multimedia Keyboard," is shiny and pretty, though, with its laser-etched caps and volume wheel.

They want the people with disposable income to dispose of it to them.
They do realize the world is in the recession right? I mean I don't think many will pay 100s for a mouse just for looks. I'll rather get a new graphics card for that money.
Now all I need is to get some 20" spinners for my computer and some hydraulics and make my computer jump. Oh and a leather wrapped keyboard with keys made from carbon fiber.
You all realize that someone that would normally get this mouse doesn't have to worry about the "recession" right?
Actually, a leather keyboard with carbon fiber keys sounds pretty friggin awesome! Better get to you patent drawings before someone else does! ;o)
It seems like the paste-Swarovski-crystals-on-stuff-to-class-it-up thing is getting a little overdone.
Now if I could only find some nice leather and crystal clad AA batteries for the new mouse I'm going to order.
That's just stupid. You can buy a gaming mouse for $30-40 on newegg.com
Wow ... useless product that I can get for less. Plus, not being a Bluetooth mouse makes it less reasonable to buy it.

Ugh, sorry for the double post.
if i had a mouse this one would be best when user adapts to the changes when this mouse wow is it a money
WHY o WHY is it brown
if the whole damn thing was wraped in black leather i would get that thing. o and since when is bluetooth a must have for a mouse and keyboard anyways? I have had my worst results with that interface in the past.
BTW i have never seen a good gaming mouse for $40 unless there is some sort of mega sale.
Logitech G9 is the only mouse I will ever use for gaming ever again.
Having that thing sitting by my HTPC would be pretty neat though. Obviously not going to happen, but pretty neat none the less.
i would still go for my $5 ps2 optical mouse. thank you. still working fine for a year now.
leather and gold, sounds like a fancy thong
I thing put a gold in a mouse is quite nice. Why? Because in 5 years we still you the current mouse we has been use. The mouse is not oudated. It is different when you put jewelry in a laptop. In 5 years the laptop will be outdated. All it left is just the jewelry.
Suppose this could be a show-off thing for architects and other people who require quality but don't want everything to be in plastic.
a leather wrapped keyboard with keys made from carbon fiber.
that would actually be super cool
That's the kind of mice that looks nice on an executive's desk, with the mahogany wood desk, leather binders and leather chair. A new audience perhaps?
Not a bad buy for peeps with a lotta dough...Can't blame Gigabyte for trying something new.
