"The next-generation of Microsoft mice has arrived and – surprise! – this peripheral don't feature any fancy lasers. The new Explorer mouse is the first that sports Microsoft's new proprietary Bluetrack technology, something they've been hinting at on their website for the past few weeks. The big innovation is that a BlueTrack mouse will work on virtually any surface type, whether its granite, wood, or even carpet (glass and other reflective surfaces are this mouse's kryptonite)."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
"The physics is similar to that of the “blue light” used in crime-scene TV shows to examine surfaces for police investigations."
Isn't that UV light as in bad for you?
Any way, woooo an amazing mouse. Amazingly expensive that is.
I'm tired of playing catch-up with technology! laser mice are still pretty much very expensive and not yet too widely recieved but the new one is coming! here I am still using regular optical mouse which is still doing a pretty good job! what's the point of having a little bit more dpi? I still don't understand as I've used a laser mouse on my friend's PC before but it doesn't feel 'that' much better than the one I'm using
Definitely not revolutionary. It can't even be used on reflective materials, the only problem I've had with optical. Yes, my optical mouse works on carpet too, no big deal, and I don't need to spend $99.
im getting one...
I thought it maybe was something good MS finally developed. I dont see ANY difference between an optical and this bluelight thing. Once I seen doesnt work on glass I threw this out the window as another thing MS trying to rip ppl off with. You can get a wired optical mouse for like 20 dollars and a wirless for no more than 40 dollars why would som1 pay $100 dollars for a blue light?
