Great budget gaming mouse or general mouse upgrade (I'm using one as a day to day mouse as it's so much better than my old one!)
Update:
Code also works for 8000DPI and Wireless mouse! It's valid whilst stock lasts!

I get this message when I try:
"The promotional code you entered is for an offer that has not yet begun."
I'll maybe try again later. Looks a good deal.

Edit: Def hot if we're all trying to buy them!
My bad - got code from Anker just checked and it's valid from 2pm!
Cool. Thanks for the info. I eagerly await 2PM.
Might not have the same refresh rate as the wired one, but currently £9.99, and if the same code works with it, it's going to be a great deal!
Hot from me :-)
Cheers for posting!
Setting up the additional keys for specific in-game functions is always handy. Adjustable DPI means you can adjust sensitivity on the fly which is handy for various things (you don't want a twitchy, fast crosshair when trying to line up a long range shot with a sniper rifle, but if running around with an MP5 this might be exactly what you want. With a decenty gaming mouse, you don't need to compromise on decisions like this.
For this price, it seems like a really good entry level mouse. The drop down list has an 8000DPI version too, which is still insanely cheap for what you get.
I also really like Anker as a company. Just look at any negative reviews for their products on Amazon and you will see how proactive they are in trying to resolve customer issues.
good deal, if I didn;t use a R.A.T.7 already I'd cosider giving this a go.
Selectable DPI button to change mouse speed on the fly
Two extra buttons mappable to the game you're playing
That seems to be about it, except for the l33t, sick design.
thanks for that, think ill buy it and vote this hot then! last question. i only see two extra buttons on the side that are programmable. where are the others? lol.
Googled the following, but still it does not fully compute:
What is mouse DPI? wiki
Are High Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse with 8000 DPI, any good or just over priced?
Anker® High Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse with 8000 DPI
That's it. Others have more, others have less. If the bundled software is anything like the one for my mouse, you'll be able to re-program the left/right mouse keys (although why you'd want to is another question) and the middle mouse button.
I think ALL the buttons can be programmed, meaning it is 7 button programmable.
You'd probably only bother doing the 2 by the thumb though.
If you're looking at the 8000dpi, try this at £15.99 amazon.co.uk/Tec…c=1
I received that mouse today, its very nice for price. Any questions just ask.
I'm not overly fussed about priced, 25 quid is fine..
I'm a casual gamer who wants primarily comfort and functionality.. What do you guys think?
They go for functionality rather than form, its kind of the antithesis of apple.
That actually drops to under a tenner at the final stage of checkout, absolute steal!
That really doesn't explain the silly paintwork nor sharp angles (certainly nothing to do with ergonomics or function). And I am absolutely no Apple fanboy.
Great find tomwilmot !
just found this Anker folding mice can also use this code:ANKERMSE as £5 off! It is only £8.99.

Looks pretty sick, 2k dpi a bit low but heard it can be modded to 4k dpi. If it makes any real difference we'll see but the colours look sexeh so bought one, thanks OP!
