Genius 12-Button Gila Professional Gaming Mouse
Genius launches the Gila professional gaming mouse, a 2013 CES Innovations Award Honoree, to the North American market. Offering unparalleled precision and comfort, the Genius GX Gaming Series Gila is the ultimate configurable gaming mouse. With the 12-button Gila almost every aspect can be tweaked according to gamers' preferences: on-the-fly dpi changes, weight, LED brightness, pulsation and color as well as macros for a personalized playing style.
Precision Control with Sniper Mode and On-The-Fly Adjustable Dpi: 200 to 8200
The Gila packs features for gamers that need to excel. For situations that require pixel perfect precision "Sniper Mode" slows down mouse movements to a dpi of your choice by simply holding down the assigned button.
Genius' GX Gaming Series Gila lets gamers switch among 5 different previously assigned dpi levels directly from the mouse for precision targeting (200 dpi) to lightning fast movements (8200 dpi). Adding Gila's 1 ms response time to aid in situations that require quick twitch reactions, this GX Series mouse is capable of keeping up with any gaming scenario.
Personalized Weight Tuning
Customize the weight of the Gila however you prefer. A maximum of six 4.5 gram weights can be added to a compartment in the underside for sturdiness or no weights can be used at all for unburdened lightweight movement.
Unique LED Customization Options
Offering unique aesthetic customization options, the Gila has three LED backlights that can be independently tuned to the colors, degrees of brightness and pulsation style of your choice. With 16 million color options to choose from your Gila will be uniquely yours.
Macros & Button Assignments
Simplify the complicated controls of modern games by assigning them to any of the twelve buttons on the Gila. The Scorpion UI lets you set up to 72 macros, giving you a competitive edge in the heat of battle. The macros saved on the on-board memory and CPU of the Gila means that macro-blocks in games won't be able to stop you from using your macros. At LAN parties or competitions no time is lost tweaking exactly how you like to play.
Comfortable Grip & Connectivity
The Genius Gila not only gives you personalized control when hunting down your foes, but also provides a smooth, stable connection with a comfortable design. The non-slick rubber coating ensures a firm and comfortable grip when moving the mouse violently back and forth. Additionally, the 1.8 meter durable braided cable with an anti-corrosive gold-plated USB jack ensures long-lasting, high quality connections.
Availability
The GX Gaming Series Gila is now available in the US and Canada for the suggested retail price of US$99.99.

Gila means "crazy" or "mad" in Malay.
I know it doesn't necessarily mean that but the name could be translated as Genius 12-Button Crazy Professional Gaming Mouse.

For me it makes little to no sense to pack so many buttons that aren't really usable. For example I almost don't use 6th and 7th button on my Mamba. Why? They're placed in a corner of LMB, which makes them useless in games when you need constant LMB access. However it's possible to have lots of keys that are well placed, for example Logitech G700, and Corsair M90/M95.

Never heard of "Genius". Hopefully this thing would stay together better than my Coolermaster Sentinel Storm.

This company is popular over here. They make cheap products (mostly mice and computer speakers), but some of them offer good quality-to-price ratio, eg. some 5.1 speaker sets that sound better than 2-3x more expensive Logitech.
