Customer Reviews of Saitek W07 Touch Force Gaming Mouse (USB)

fun but not comfortable
The mouse is fun, hard to set up on Windows XP SP2 but fun none-the-less. You need to locate a driver deep within the Immerson directory to get this to work in XP SP2(Home or Pro). The Desktop software supports a handful of games and you can download a shareware program for the rest, but it isn't worth the heafty price to register it and the mouse should have come with this "gaming" software as the mouse was some 40 bux it's self. The Force touch gaming software only works on sound not events so even Voice-overs can make it rumble which is stupid. Cutting out midrange doesn't work and if you cut out too much you won't feel even the heaviest explosions. I have found that people's Voice Overs make it rumble more than anything. a $29.99 waist of money. I even tried Icewind Dale and nothing made it rumble EXCEPT my OWN voice(which can be recorded for that game). Although it is "just" a RPG, thier are many magical effects and my own VOICE was the only thing that I could "feel". Other games I have tested include Scrapland(spaceships do NOT rumble only voices and music-lasers barely felt), Giants Citizen Kabuto(seems to work good as thier is little dialogue). Most of the games that are worth the use of this are already supported by the desktop version. MDK, odviously works perfect and was included, Half Life(1) I think works(don't have a copy to test). Emmerision.com has a game list(very short) to work WITHOUT the silly Gaming Touch force and it's price tag.

Force Feedback Feeling for All Games
I initially got this mouse and the Logitech iFeel mouse for FPS games, like UT2003 and MOHAA. But not too many games seemed to support this mouse's force feedback feature, until Immersion Corp released "instant" force feedback software (TouchWare Gaming software) that let's you "feel" nearly every game with this mouse. You can feel weapons, explosions and any other sound in any game, including strategy games live CIV3. If you already have this mouse or any FF device, do yourself a favor and look into the TouchWare Software too. I've been enjoying the "feel" of Max Payne 2, Call of Duty and XIII recently. It's way cool.

It's fun
Was slightly weary of purchasing after having a logitech wingman force mouse but this is a comfortable mouse and the sensations are decent plus you can do your own ifeel forces
