pRogzIf you are an International, the current price of $47.99USD is cheap when you also consider the shipping of only $13.00USD, which also includes the Apuri as well.
Newegg would rape me for well over $89.00USD just in shipping alone. You see how MassDrop serves us well when you live on the other side of the planet ; )
ElrickMaybe if you're in Australia.
Kova currently costs €60 incl. VAT in EU, which is actually on par with this drop + shipping + VAT, ships *now* and would be probably much easier to RMA.
w4rr10rTrue, but the mousepad is also something like 20 euros here, not to mention the bungee... So it is a pretty decent deal, especially if(like me) you don´t need the mouse right away. That´s why i am thinking about taking it.
darkchaosApuri costs additional $25. That absolutely isn't worth it. I've had to modify mine to stop it from emitting bright blue light (detrimental effect on circadian rhythms), and even then it can be easily replaced by a cheap hub and DIY cable management.
The mousepad, well, that's personal preference. I, for one, prefer either smoother hard pads, or thicker cloth mats, that don't look tacky (no large logos and all that jazz); in this case, I would be getting something I had no use for (I already own one Sense and never use it). It's kind of similar to the Topre keyboard + some pen combo, that almost nobody bought.
