A Better MOBA Mouse

Space Bum·Jan 9, 2015·2 votes·624 views

So, I have been using the Razer Hex for about a year now, and used a few others for league before that. And.... It's K. Not great but K.

Not going to share my design until I find out that I am just delusional about how good the design is. It is a culmination of my 5 years of playing MOBAs and embodies everything I want in a MOBA mouse.

My real purpose here is, do you think a company like Razer would ever take a design from an average Joe and provide compensation? No money for patent. Where would you start?

Razor probably won't.

But Razer might listen. Send a message to Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan on Twitter/FB and he might respond about it. He's cool like that.

well...without a patent, cant really market it find a sponsor for the idea patent? dunno much about that stuff...

I used to have a cm storm inferno mouse, less clutter and could have everything I had on a naga with on the fly dpi switching and multiple profiles at the touch of a button could tweak accel on the fly too if you set up the key for it , veeery useful

you designed it. Dont share it with razer. find someone who can help you with the engineering, try to figure out the prototype cost, use kickstarter to fund the development. If it doesnt work out no worries. If it does (if it looks cool i'll buy one!) you could start something cool. compete with razer XD

For that to work I would really need a design patent. Kickstarter is not going to fund me if I don't have a design posted. If a company like razer saw me get a lot of attention they would just release it before me.

there are such things as "Provisional Patent Applications" You'd also have to tm the name and logo though. Yeah, there is some investment, thats true!
