Dixons no longer exists.
You could add Simply Games to the list.

I've bought a few flight sim accessories from Currys in recent years - they've got a suprisingly decent (if mainstream) range online.

I still own an original Mark - and they are fatally flawed. The mouse has to be held completely flat to the surface you are using as a mat at all times, the slightest angling of it lifts the ball off the surface and your mouse-movement promtly ceases. I had a mate who worked for Thrustmaster and they were given some to test - one came my way and lives, barely used, in a drawer somewhere.

I always thought those things looked awful to use. Never tried one myself, and I suspect I won't any time soon at that price.

I’m confused as to why it’s a 20th anniversary edition when the original Razer Boomslang was released in 1999. Am I missing something?

The gaming press at the time absolutely raved about them, which I never understood. They were the first mouse with a higher DPI but the shape of them was designed to match a snake's head, not to be ergonomic, and they really weren't much cop.
