Last week guys! Proof read and publish now or regret forever :)

I've added the new prize to the list. There might also be an additional prize from QWERkeys

Last 5 days.

I talked with Cooler Master. If we reach 5 reviews we will reduce the number of awards from 5 to 3. If we receive less than 5 we will close the competition and I won't never spend my time in such a thing again.

Good stuff. Could you insert blank lines between all paragraphs? Increases readability quite nicely.

I guess I will end up doing the same as always. Everything at the last moment :roll:

Lame. No one else made a review. Canceled I suppose?

I was considering a Microspeed/CH Products/MVP trackball comparison review, but then I remembered I did something similar on geekhack a few years ago and it got lost in the rootworm hacking crap. (...and I've become very lazy and demotivated since then...)

Imagine how different this would be if it was a keyboard review contest! Shows just where our heart is.

My two entries:

Unfortunately, I haven't had enough time and willpower to review more exotic stuff.

Okay guys the contest is over. I would have hoped in some more reviews, but it's okay. I'll talk with CM and the other jurors and see how to proceed. I guess we will draw at least the best review, the original device and the CM Award.

I began a review of my Wacom Bamboo board, which i use 1/3 of a working day instead of the mouse, but only had to write a view lines, with everything said... Then i saw the great other reviews and thought like so much text, that's hard to beat. Nevermind, i will write something about tablets, since i love to work with them (not for painting).

Good work on the reviews that did make it. I've just had a pleasant time rereading them and casting my votes. Some pretty fine work on show here, and I learned a lot, too. Not until now have I considered myself as a pointing device noob!

I've read through them all now, just need to converse with the other chaps! How many winners are we selecting? Just the one?

The winners have been selected. Unfortunately I'm not able to reach CM, as soon as I hear from them I'll make jurors' decision public!

Stay tuned!

Sooo...3 jurors for 5 people with 8 reviews and 8 rewards? :P What's that, everybody gets almost 2 rewards then? :P

I think it's down to 3 awards now (plus CM's own pick).

But you're right about the disappointing response rate. No doubting now that Deskthority is a keyboard club. Not all input devices are quite as extraordinaire.

Sorry guys, I really wanted to participate and review a vertical mouse and some other random peripherals that I have lying around but I've had an insanely busy last month.

Sorry for this taking so long, the winners have already been selected, I'm waiting from CM representative to get back to me (probably tomorrow)
