Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse

If you're upgrading your OS to Windows 8 but you're not interested in a touchscreen, you may want to consider Microsoft's Wedge Touch Mouse, one of the first peripherals designed specifically with Windows 8 in mind. This Bluetooth 3.0 mouse supports 4-way touch scrolling, which means you can swipe up, down, left or right on the mouse to recreate these actions just as if you had executed them using your finger on a touchscreen enabled device. Its build quality is excellent and for such a lightweight product, it feels solid and sturdy.

  • Sitex Price: $69
  • Usual Price: $89
  • Sitex Promotion: Free LifeCam HD3000 when you buy both Wedge Mobile Keyboard + Wedge Touch Mouse in a single receipt.

Windows 8 Pro Upgrade

Upgrade your existing Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 PC with this Windows 8 Pro Upgrade pack. Windows 8 comes with a new user interface replete with touch gestures, much improved cloud-connected services, a renewed focus on apps, new security features, and a whole lot more. With an emphasis on cross-platform functionality, it works just as well on large, powerful desktop PCs as it does on lightweight notebooks and Ultrabooks.

Roccat (Hall 6, Booth No. 6F30)

 

 

Roccat Savu

The Roccat Savu is a medium-sized gaming mouse weighing just 90g. It has a fairly aggressive ergonomic shape, a generous thumb groove and a mid-high arched profile. It is equipped with 5 buttons: left and right click, scrollwheel click and two thumb buttons. 

The Savu is ideal for MMO gamers as it utilizes Roccat's EasyShift technology, which essentially works the same way as the Shift key on your keyboard: holding down the rear thumb button and pressing another button at the same time will perform a different function, theoretically giving you twice the number of buttons on your mouse. It's also great for extended use as its light weight won't cramp up your hand after hours of raiding.

  • Sitex Price: $89
  • Sitex Promotion: Free Taito Mini with every Roccat mouse purchased.
