When it comes to gaming mice, you have your standard design stalwarts; your Logitech G9s and your Microsoft SideWinders that take the standard mouse and make it sleeker, more durable, more sensitive, more functional, etc. They're all well and good, but they don't hold a candle to the out of the box thinking embodied in the Zalman FPSGun Mouse, a five button, 2000-dpi peripheral shaped like the handle of a gun that may just be the FPS equivalent of a steering wheel or a pair of rudder pedals.
OhGizmo! points out that the appeal of the FPSGun Mouse is that doing a horizontal trigger squeeze would seem to be a lot faster than doing a vertical one (as you'd do on a normal mouse) – that's the way real gun triggers work, after all – but we have to wonder if the gimmick is all psychological; doing some quick movement tests with our trigger fingers, we get the feeling that up and down might be the faster and easier way to go.
