The all-singing, all-dancing MMO gaming mouse. Gaming peripherals have become big business for many high-profile brands, and there appears to be no limit to how high prices can rise. You could, if you so wanted, spend more on a keyboard and mouse bundle than you would on a high-end graphics card.

A scary thought, yet Asus reckons there's merit to ultra-high-end peripherals and is showcasing its manufacturing prowess with a new flagship MMO gaming mouse dubbed Spatha. Launched under the Republic of Gamers umbrella, Spatha claims to have been "designed and built to be the ultimate mouse" and will be arriving in stores carrying a lofty £139.99 price tag.
