Cons: Laser version looks betterCannot bind the dpi button to something else
Pros: PreciseComfortableGlide smoothly Comment:
First one had the infamous double-click problem, second one so far is flawless. Had a Logitech G5 and G500 before and the Ikari is ten times better to move around and so much precise. Let's hope the buttons don't die after a year of Diablo like the Logitechs did. |

Cons: - I wish the scrolling was smoother. It makes browsing websites a bit of a pain.

the scroll wheel started squeaking on me a few weeks in. I opened the unit and used some silicone lubricant. Works very well now. |

Cons: Clicking (left & right) is somewhat loud.
Pros: Very comfortable, Sleek look, good side button placement Comment:
I got this mouse today, after 1 day of use I have to say I like it. It is quite light, but also quite big and fits under your hand nicely. It kind of curves to the right to follow your natural wrist position better. This mouse is very comfortable, I read a review online about it being quite big but I can't see that being a problem unless you have like 14-year-old girl hands. The one complaint I have is the mouse clicking is louder than my last mouse however this is a small issue and I honestly don't mind, it's just people on Skype can hear me clicking away while I play Starcraft II. Oh well, Skype isn't meant for gaming anyway :P. Given the price and comfort of this mouse I would rate it a 4.8/5. |

Cons:
None so far
Pros: Great shape, Quit sensitivity toggle Comment:
The SteelSeries Ikari Optical is by far the most comfortable mouse I have ever purchased. The shape of the mouse fits your hand perfectly; Plus, The quick sensitivity toggle feature is a great benifit for FPS gamers when switching weapons.Highly recommended. |

Cons:
You will not be able to customize the thumb buttons, so effectively this mouse is not a gaming mouse at all. However you can cuztomize those thumb buttons by using freeware X Mouse Button, search it up on google. The dpi setting change button takes 1 full second to toggle btw the different dpi setting which is absolutely terrible for fast fps gamers who need to switch immediately. Software does not allow for dpi custom settings only preset 400, 800, 1600 settings.Finish is nice but gets dirty easily, smudgy dirt and oil after consistent gaming, can be wiped off and not a huge deal
Pros: Extremely Cofortable and Ergonomic, fits medium sized hands perfectly but can accomodate larger and smaller hands with satisfaction. Very Nice design and molds perfectly to your hand with thumb rest and pinky and other fingers. Comment:
This mouse is a very basic gaming mouse, the optical mouse technology performs good enough vs laser imo. The buttons can only be customized using third party software such as X Mouse Button.Full Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uaz9UfJkkoI |

Cons: The soft that come with it
Pros: Perfect for big hand, 5 buttons Comment:
Well she's simple, got 5 buttons and perfect for big hands. The soft that come with it is pure crap. I was thinking that being the one used by pro she would be better than the laser one but I was wrong. My friend have the laser one and she's way better. I got something broke one time and customer care was long and painfull just hope that you don't get the one of the batch that is broke. The company is still good and in rebate at 45-50 buck you should spend your money on this mouse rather than any other. |

Cons: None really
Pros: Very Comfortable...Simple clean Look Comment:
I was looking for a very comfortable mouse more than anything (fairly large hands) and that is what I found. It has 2 variable speed settings and the buttons are all laid out perfectly. |

Cons: Thumb rest area can be a little bigger like the MX revolution
Pros: Looks a little cheap and plain but hey it works fineSaved dpi setting in mouse, can be adjusted with softwareComfortableCannot feel much difference on the weight of the wire compared to having a wireless mouse Front and back buttonGold plated usb plug :o Comment:
Had my G7 for about 2 years, got tired of it. I never thought I could go back to a wired mouse but here I am, WIRED! The shape needs a little time to get used to, but after a week or two my hand really settles onto the mouse. I like the scroll wheel much better than the G7, it's quiet and it has a flat side on the scroll wheel for better grip unlike the G7's where it's all round. The front and back buttons is what I missed from my very old MX518, but no worries it's on the Ikari! G7 only has a back button, no forward. The surface isn't supper smooth, it's shiny but it's grippy so there's some difference compared to the G7 in that regard. Best optical mouse I've used, I cannot even tell any difference going from laser to optical and I am using the steel series qck pad. Now I understand why this mouse is often said to be very comfortable, and now I know why because all fingers can be rested, not only half a hand like the G7 |
This is simply the best mouse I've ever owned, upgraded from a Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse explorer 2 which I thought was very comfortable already. This one is just that much better. For the occasional gaming session, this one is far more accurate than my previous mouse.
