You're drunk Microsoft, go home. But it's not a horrible idea at least...

Sort of the same with me, I have my Naga hex 5 button (back middle) mapped for it. I actually use it quite a bit. - On the one with the blue side button (in this article), it also has touch scrolling. You slide your thumb down and it opens the side app bar, and you slide it up to scroll through them.

Great. Now I can hit THAT windows key instead of the one on my keyboard. I'll probably be hitting it all the time when I'm gaming and then throw the mouse out of the window. No thanks MS.

Does it require an always-on camera that can see in the dark to function?

Or do what i did with my last keyboard and pop out the win key from the keyboard so as not to hit it anymore. Though these days i use it quite a bit since i got into keyboard shorcuts thanks to my brief time with windows 8

As you need that key for shortcuts and it's used quite a lot in Win8, this sounds like a nice idea. If you are a hardcore gamer you would not be looking this kind of mouse anyways. Hitting Windows key on keyboard by accident while gaming... I still have not pressed it by accident with my SteelSeries 7G, hehe 🙂 Would be nice to see a mice from MS which would compete with the VM4 from Evoluent... http://www.evoluent.com/vm4r.htm I would be interested in that.
