This mouse will not change your life. If you believe that any mouse will, you are ignorant.
This is a good mouse that works when you plug it in and reads better than an optical.
If you are still using a ball mouse, throw your computer into the bath tub.
Awesome gaming mouse

This is a great mouse without a doubt, however, it does have its faults.
The DPI buttons are in a poor spot for 'on the fly' changes.
The "Quick Launch" button only launches the game manager and cant be changed.
The side buttons are nice and easy to access.
The mouse feels good in my hand and was easy to get accustomed too.

I bought this mouse about 2 months ago at Frys, and its a pretty decent mouse. It has nice DPI on the fly buttons that you can set in the mouse drivers. the mouse is a 2000 dpi mouse which is more than i need; but the bad is that it feels like its not made with that great of quality and the clicking feels kind of odd for a while; Personally id go with the Razer Deathadder, and i plan to get the Deathadder or a differnt Razer mouse in the future.

Very Nice gaming . light weight and not too small for average size male hands. Only dis like was the fact that the DPI buttons and the quick launch button are no programmable. Quick launch button can assign an .exe only. The only thing I would like is for the 3 DPI buttons to become programmable for use with Macro's and such.
