OCZ Behemoth Gaming Mouse Review - PAGE 1
Pier-Luc Gendreau - Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 Like Share
When it comes to gaming peripherals, two names first come to mind: Logitech and Razer. However, you can’t ignore the other competitors playing on the same field. OCZ for example is well known for its memory products, but they also actively design and manufacture gaming peripherals. Even though they offer some very interesting products tailored specifically for gamers, OCZ is also one of the the brands we tend to forget about when seeking the perfect gaming keyboard or mouse.
OCZ’s latest mouse is dubbed the Behemoth, and rightly so. I will spoil the surprise early: this is easily the largest mouse I ever handled. Well endowed mice usually fare pretty well in ergonomics though, which is great. The Behemoth also features solid specifications expected from any decent gaming mouse, including a 3200 DPI sensor and a software suite to load custom profiles.
The Behemoth’s predecessor, the Dominatrix, has been my daily mouse ever since I got it nearly a year ago. Let’s see if OCZ has what it takes to conquer me once again.

I'm sure I've seen dimensions listed for other mice which were as large or even larger than those I've seen for the Behemoth, so I find it a bit strange that multiple reviewers comment on it being so large.

This probably doesnt matter that much, but I also find that I have to be a bit careful pressing the front left/"forward" button as my index finger can press the left click button accidentally at the same time.
The cord is also better than the one on my previous mouse.

It turns out to be impossible to acquire in the UK. Not that it never reached the UK... Just impossible to get here now, as it's been discontinued (!?!). And it's not all that long since Neoseeker reviewed it. What gives? Did Neoseeker just review it really late, or was the product discontinued ridiculously early?
There are still some on amazon.com in America, but Amazon apparantly doesn't allow the export of electrical goods. Dicks.
So I've decided to make do with either an OCZ Eclipse or Saitek Cyborg Mouse (It has a motor that makes it get bigger or smaller!). I just hope the one I get is big enough. That was the whole reason why I wanted the Behemoth. >_<;

It's still on OCZ's website, so it's kind of odd you cannot find one.

But I got in touch with OCZ and they specifically told me that the Behemoth had been discontinued.
I asked about a viable alternative and the lazy buggers never got back to me. It cost them a sale.
In the end I got a Saitek Cyborg instead.
The Behemoth is still possible to get in America, on amazon.com. But on amazon.co.uk, the only available one was over in France and had a massive delivery charge that was more than twice the value of the mouse!
I guess we just didn't get many of them here. I wonder why the mouse is on their site if it's been discontinued...
