Gaming mouse - John Lavell, Aug 14, 2008

Delivery was exceptional, but the mouse itself, was a letdown.The mouse had many conflicts with Microsoft media, and was difficult to get programed to use.Even after programing the buttons according to directions, there were buttons that would not program.All in all, the mouse was not what I expected, and ended up removing it and going with another mouse.

Great mouse - Herosonny Prak, Aug 12, 2008

This Mouse is great for anything from gaming to all purpose desktop. It has inter-changable dpi settings all the way to 2000dpi, on the fly.

Great gaming mouse...but doesn't fit my hand - Thomas L. Fluharty, Aug 08, 2008

The mouse is great...just too big for my small hand. A shame because I really like all the features. I have to go back to my ancient ms Intellimouse which is better shaped for my hand-size. I was hoping to become COD4 king, too...

A well-made mouse. - S. Berke, Jun 03, 2008

I bought this mouse because my old wireless one died and I needed a new one that could handle the abuse of several gamers using it. Overall, I am quite satisfied with it. The only problem I encountered was that it doesn't come with the software drivers to use it, but requires you to download them. When I tried, I got an error message everytime I tried to install them. This has kept me from being able to reprogram the buttons, however, since the two side buttons come pre-programmed to Back and Forwards I haven't had too much trouble with it.

The sensitivity adjustment is very useful. I tend to just use one, but other members of my family use the others. Also, the adjustable weight, while not something I felt I needed, is a nice touch.

Finally, I haven't had any problems using the feet on my mouse pad. In fact, I haven't even tried the other two sets that came with it. They sit in the cord/weight/feet holder, which is another nice touch.

All in all, I'd probably give this mouse a 4.5 for not being able to dowload the software to truly use its full potential, but it's good enough in other ways to merit a 5.

A mouse you must buy - Henry Gonzales, May 23, 2008

I have had this mouse for three months now. It's a beautiful thing I tell you. The weights and adjustable cursor speed make this usable for anything from gaming to graphic work. Nicely built, and fits comfortably in your hand.
