Now that the giveaway is over I was thinking to start a thread on this mouse since I don't see any. Ended up scoring a white glossy on Massdrop for $49.99 $39.99. Figured this would be a good place to talk about the revel here as we get them and watch for reviews.

Not sure how many others were in the massdrop from OCN? Looks like revels start shipping July 28th for us at the end of the month.

BETA Firmware

Here is the download link for the REVEL Beta firmware ver10-20-2016 :

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByAy91Wk4MjxOEE4dmV3QXo0alk?usp=sharing

Change Log - Added 500 Hz Polling Rate setting. To switch to 500 Hz Polling Rate, Press the Mouse Wheel Button + Front Side Button. To change back to 1000 Hz Polling Rate, Press the Mouse Wheel Button + Front Side Button.

Here is the download link to the REVEL's original shipping firmware to revert back to in case you may encounter issues with new beta firmware:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByAy91Wk4MjxQ3YtZHowd3cyc2s?usp=sharing

After extracting the zip file please follow these directions:

1) Make sure the REVEL is connected to the PC
2) Double click on the "FlashOnLine.exe" F/W update program
3) Make sure there are no other programs or windows opened/running that may accidently interrupt the update.
4) Click on "Update" - you will see the program erase, install, and verify the firmware installation (during the installation you will see the REVEL's LED turn off).
5) Once the firmware is finished installing you will see a note "F/W Update Finish, Pug-Out Device" and just hit the "Exit" button (The LED on the mouse will come back on to indicate the firmware has installed successfully).
6) Unplug the mouse from the USB port of the computer and connect it back in.

NOTE: If there is an error or interruption during installation the mouse will no longer function (LED does not come back on). Don't worry, the mouse is not bricked (first time this happened I thought I bricked the mouse a few months ago). Make sure the REVEL is still connected and just connect another working mouse (Make sure the other mouse is another brand and not a second REVEL you may own) to use to navigate and run the F/W update program again.

Disclosure: Please take great care when installing the BETA firmware - we are not responsible if it causes any issues with your PC/peripherials (Install at your own risk).

Thank-you everyone and I appreciate the comments and feedback - if this firmware works well, this version may become the official optional firmware for REVEL end users to download and install.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I opted into the massdrop with a matte black, then I also got a DM1 Pro S because Maximillion guilt tripped me into it. I spent $100+ on mice in the past week, I think if I wasn't already sick in the head with how much I spend, I would be now...

also m0uz if you see this, I didn't see your question about the Kinzu's scroll wheel until now, the Kinzu v1 scroll doesn't wobble like it does in v2/v3.

I hope it's an LED that turns on when your scrolling through CPI steps then it turns off after a few seconds. We'll see.

It was my bad for making the the possible combinations that high - I assumed people would figure out the "safe common colors" for the first 3-4 DPI settings (Red, Green, Blue = RGB, and Yellow) since most of us only use those DPI settings - while the last half was more challenging.

Now that I have a better idea of the responses, I'll make sure for future ones if I do something similar to make the possibilities much lower. We still gave away 2 mice and I plan to do more giveaways for the OCN community. It may be before or after when OCN Review Labs do their giveaways because we did send quite a few products to the Lab for review - so be sure to look out for those.

Thanks for clarifying that. I'll remove the pic from OP for accuracy. I know we'll find out the nitty gritty soon enough and your leaving that for reviewers. No worries there. I have a good feeling knowing you around the OCN threads for last four years....

Maybe set your expectations a little lower? With that line of thinking, it's a surprise you even have a computer to begin with...
Unless you have a serious physical disability or bizarre ailment which makes every mouse cause you extreme pain....
