I have been watching the various listings online for this nice little gadget for months now, but always found it a bit expensive and judged other models to have priority to be added to my collection ... in the end I received it as a gift from my wife, how cool is that ?

Sure this isn't a highly detailed diecast model, but this is a wireless, optical mouse for a computer made by RoadMice, a company specialized in these computer rodents depicting sports cars, they offer two Lamborghini models, a nice Murciélago LP640 and this Reventon … in glossy grey, but I guess a matte finished would make those fingerprints really come alive.

In the rather large box you will find a tiny receiver to put on the computer USB port, a small booklet, two AAA batteries to power the mouse and a nice pouch in case you are transporting this Lambo-mouse together with a laptop.

Once you power on this Reventon mouse the headlights turn blue and you'll notice a red shine at the bottom (it is an optical mouse), normally the scroll wheel between the two buttons up front should turn red too, but for some reason this didn't work for me, could be because I never actually connected it to my computer, I only put the batteries in for the shots … I like this little gadget way too much to actually use it as a mouse.

If you look at this one you notice the proportions don't look right, but I think this is done to make it at least a little ergonomic to use, there is a nice scroll wheel and the front hood of the Reventon is split in two, for the left and right button mouse, the wheels don't really touch the surface as this would make moving the mouse nearly impossible. At the bottom you notice a flat section that is in contact with the desk surface, the entire model itself actually floats one mm above the surface this way.

This is one of those things that brings a smile on your face when you open the box, it is a gadget that I guess will not nearly be as good as say a Logitech mouse, but this is a Lamborghini … and you can ‘drive' your computer with it, how much better does it get, I for one really like it and I'm very pleased with it.
