Coolermaster CM Storm broke ground with the "claw-grip" form factor in mice with their Spawn.  Their Xornet uses the same chassis as the Spawn, but in an all-black color scheme, and lower sensitivity as the Spawn's 3500DPI sensor.  Targeting their "claw-grip" design to the entry level gaming mouse market, the Xornet will be cheaper, and have lower DPI settings while still having all the features you'd expect from a gaming mouse.
