Cougar's 600m Gaming Mouse Has RGB Lighting
Cougar's 600m is a gaming mouse with macro support and 16.8-million color LED lighting.
Back in May, Cougar revealed its highly-customizable 700M gaming mouse, and now it has built another gaming mouse – the 600M. The new mouse's design appears to be inspired by its bigger brother, although it is missing the modular construction and adjustability.
The mice's guts consist of an 8200 DPI ADNS-9800 sensor, the data from which is processed by a 32-bit ARM processor. The mouse also has 512 KB of onboard memory for remembering macros. The left and right click switches are made by Omron, so they are good for about five million actuations.
The top of the mouse is treated with a soft-touch material, and it also comes with a gold-plated braided USB cable. Topping things off, Cougar also equipped the mouse with 16.8 million color LED lighting, which is quite a nice addition.
Cougar built the mouse in two colors: black and orange. Both of the variants will be available late 2014, with no word on pricing yet.

I was going to get a deathadder chroma but I like this thing so I might give it a try myself. Also I really hope the braided cable doesn't cause any drag because I'm sick of it on most mice I use.
Although recently EVGA has been branching out to other markets as well and they seem to have had great success with their torq mouse. I don't mind companies branching out and being competitive with others as I have noticed a lot more budget gaming mice and keyboards out on the market. Back in the day the only budget gaming mouse one could really consider was the intellimouse and the only popular 'budget' gaming keyboard being the sidewinder X4 (clocking in at $40 which is a mid range price).
All of this is very surprising as its rare to see so many companies branch out to new territories and have hits on their hands.

Yeah it's funny I definitely wouldn't expect Cougar or EVGA to churn out high quality peripherals but I have the TorqX and it's a seriously high quality mouse. It's not the M95 but it's a very close second. I bought some Cougar fans for one of my PCs and they're way better built than I would have expected. I will definitely be buying one of these if the price is right.
