Papadosio and Lotus? Like them?

Question first: Have you ever thought of containing the design of the Performance MX and make a gaming version of it?

The Performance MX mouse is not a gaming mouse but it feels so comfortable. I feel like the thumb pad can be utilized to have more buttons between click buttons and buttons that may remain depressed for different options like crouch lock, or to select items quickly. An example of the item selection would be if you had 3 keys mapped to 1, 2, and 3 (standard inventory keys for weapons and items). If I hit thumbKeyOption 1 then thumbkeyOption 1 stays depressed, this doesn't select my weapon/item of 1 but now has it selected as my "quick swap" key. I say this instead of using the scroll wheel or the already standard 123 options or even your quick swap single thumb mouse clicks everyone loves. But for the people who DO love the already present thumbkeys, just provides them with more options for what they can make the thumbkeys do on the fly. I would not have to map the standard thumbkeys that are already present to ONLY be a specific option in the Key Mapping(thumbkey1 is ALWAYS mapped to 1 or inventory slot 1 etc...) but rather be able to map the options early and then swap between them for use W/ the thumbKey.

Quick example of already present functionality that can be taken advantage of: Team Fortress has q set by default to be a quick swap function to your last used weapon/item.

If I could have my standard thumb click become my new quick swap (it already is, but I can only select one item in other games while in TF I can semi keep track with my quick swap items knowing what I can change my weapon too prior to engaging in a fight so I may use my quick swap key) with the added 3 keys underneath it, it would change EVERYTHING with FPS's and using a mouse. I love the mouse buttons on all my old mice (Logitech only mouse patron right here!!) but I want my right hand to be able to do more than just use the mouse and a few basic buttons. Just a thought, it would be fucking awesome!

I use the MX for gaming now and I love it. The battery life just goes fairly quickly because of the number of clicks. I own 2 of these mice =D!!
