Tryx Luca L70 Case Review – needs a lot more work

The Tryx Luca L70 had some negative press at launch but is it really that bad?

  1. Nice looking mouse. Im afraid my microsoft one has done me a long time and there is still some life in it yet.

  2. The mouse shape looks comfortable from the pictures. that software design is so cluttered looking however. its like an alienware design interface system

  3. I just bought another IKARI after finding one on a store. the kai is not so good. This looks pretty good, never seen them stocked locally, and I never buy a mouse online without putting my hand on it first. only way to tell if it will work.

  4. Nick if youre in the UK and are attending epicLAN or i42 this year there will be a range of Roccat gear to view, test and win in competitions ! (over at Kustom pc’s)

  5. Looks like a decent buy for the price, but so many options now it would be hard to pick this over say a steel series or razer

  6. Almost bought this weeks ago but opted for a Logitech as it’s too risky without using it first hand
