The packaging goes straight to point by displaying the Behemoth front and center and OCZ offers an excellent view of the mouse through the clear plastic mold. The most important features all displayed on either side, such as the double laser sensor with adjustable DPI up to 3200.
On the back side of the box, there is a more detailed description of some of the features including the customizable profiles, weight adjustment and superb ergonomics, so they claim at least.
Aside from the usual left and right buttons and clickable scroll wheel, the Behemoth possesses four more buttons. By default, the one on top is used to navigate between four different DPI settings on the fly. The three other buttons are sitting on the left side and their utility can be customized through OCZ's provided software. Out of the box, they work as back and forward buttons in your favorite browser.
Beside the OCZ logo, there isn't much happening on the Behemoth's back. However, it's pretty clear there is some serious ergonomic work going on as it seems like the mouse boasts grooves for every single finger.
Under the hood hides five weights, each coming in at 4.5 grams, as well as the dual laser sensors; each one controls it's own axis which is supposed to provide a more accurate motion. There also is a profile button to let you switch between profiles without having to even install software, provided you have already loaded some on the onboard memory of course. At the top is a clever system that allows you to route the USB cable in six different directions.
OCZ bundles a small disc which includes the Behemoth's supporting software suite. The nine language and 90 page thick manual explains some key functions offered by their software. Interestingly, the cable's housing is actually made out of some sort of cloth instead of being covered by a standard rubbery housing.

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...
