Cons: Awkward at first
Pros: Good mouse grip after used to it5 feet on bottomGenious cable routing underneath mouseNo visable laser lightNice cable Comment:
Good mouse overall for a good price. Kind of weird to hold at first, but that's with any mouse. Software is ok - it does the job. 3 different profiles with button on bottom to change them. I seem to make mice start double clicking my them self after a while (fat-1010, razer copperhead)I like to claw grip and this mouse is good for large hands. Has little finger spots for your pinky and ring finger on the side which is cool.Very smooth on my cloth mousepad (razer mantis)Overall a good mouse for a good price. Will have to see if it starts double clicking like the rest as I use mouse left and right for my forward/backwards in FPS games. |

Pros: Very comfortableErgonomicPriceButtonsLaser3200 dpi Comment:
Got it for 14.99 with $10 mail in rebate which is a steal.Been using the mouse for 2 months and I do not have a complaint for the mouse. I should note that I am not a hardcore gamer so mainly I had it for web surfing. |

Cons: Akward at firstDriver / utility buggy
Pros: PrecisionVariable resolutionThumb buttons Comment:
I love the shorcut to change between resolution. Once you figured out how the software work it is ok with programmable macros and all settings are stored IN the mouse microcontroller itself. |

Cons: Sometimes needs to be unplugged to be recognized again...
Pros: ValuePriceDesignProfilesDPI Comment:
Paid less than $10 after MIR and PP. I bet you cannot find a better double laser gaming mouse for that price, anywhere. Adjustable weights, adjustable profiles, built in memory, huge range in DPI. Only issue I have are the thumb buttons and scroll wheel.. My hand is too big it seems to use them while comfortably in position. Still better than other mice I've owned. |

Cons: Awkward design for large hands
Pros: Well built, bundled software Comment:
This is a massive mouse. Yes it is probably designed for people with large hands but I can not get used to it at all. I find that with a clear desk / mouse mat and clean underside the sensitivity at normal is just too wild. Not like with other mice where the dpi is way up there. But average setting it is like you steer the cursor to click where you want to but it jumps about on any setting. Bundled software installed fine but did give some issues. I can only recommend this if you see it for a good price. i found the thumb buttons awkward to. |

Cons: It's just too large for the average person's hand.
Pros: Easy adjustment of dpi settings. Nice weight (and easy adjustment of weight). Comment:
This is a good mouse for the price, but I can't say it's great as it is just so large. Having to always move my entire arm to make slight adjustments to the cursor position is just not very effective. If you are looking for a solid mouse and do not require precision movements - this will work for you. |

Cons: Pointer move by itself at the smallest vibration.Feels slippery.Over sensitivity.
Pros: Comfortable.Weight customization.Selectable DPI level.Long clothed cord.Laser. Comment:
I have had this mouse for a while now, but I'm seriously considering to just throwing it away.Even though it's a great mouse, the fact that it moves by itself from the smallest vibration caused by the computer (Especially when the hard drives are spinning at higher speed) just make it unusable at times at any DPI level. This is not a defect, just over sensitivity, as it works well when there's no vibration at all.If your desk is affected by this vibration problem, I suggest you stay away from the mouse. |

Cons: - The cursor sometimes moves by itself if you have a dark surface (for me anyway)- Mouse does not get initialized properly during Windows startup sometimes
Pros: - Very comforting- Very nice size (if you don't have a small hand that is) Comment:
Bought this at 19.99 a while back. Pretty nice size (if you palm is large). I couldn't use this mouse with a mouse pad for some odd reason, the cursor would move itself even if the mouse is station. But even without mouse pad, it functions very nicely. Very accurate. Very comforting for grasp. |

Cons: Cap Locks IssueCould be a slight bit more ergnomicalVista has problems detecting the mouse
Pros: Very good responseFeels nicely in my handCustomization optionsPrice Comment:
This is a budget concious gaming mice... for the price you do get a lot of nice to use features. When the mouse does work, it gives fantastic accuracy and response. My main gripes is that at times when I boot up the mouse is not detected by the computer, leaving me to unplug and replug it back in. As well using the caps lock button as it's choice for switching profiles has caused issues with me in certain games.for the price it's a good mouse, but if you have the funds i'd recommend something a few steps above. |

Cons: Blue LED havn't looked into the software yet but hope i can make it red
Pros: looksfeelspeed Comment:
Below is my old review please save your money this mouse is garbage..... i used it for 3 weeks and the lazers burnt out... it also caused my computer to freeze and the software did disk damage. i am now sending an email to get my money back, go spend money on a G5 mouse sure they are a little more but sooo worth it.i first thought i would just pick this mouse up, whatever it was only like 20 bucks on sale didn't really think much of it read the reviews sounded pretty good. but i have to say it is very nice in person and has some nice features my fav being i can adjust the speed profiles for shooters and maybe move to a RPG after that with a click of a button i can change speed. great mouse in my books This review was modfied by poster @ 11-20-09 04:28 PM |

Cons: Button press, and Caps Lock interference
Pros: Customizable Comment:
OK mouse, nor a comfortable as my MX518. REALLY annoying caps lock interface that locks out the mouse functions until pressed again. Comfort not a good as my MX-518, and I have larger hands. |

Cons: * Does Not Do Well On Cloth Mousepad* Some Play in Scroll Wheel
Pros: * Selectable DPI* Decent Size (Fits Hand Well)* Sheathed Cord Comment:
This has been my first laser mouse, and my first 'upgrade' mouse in several years. I find it to be very responsive and smooth acting and I like the selectable DPI settings. There is a utility that comes with the mouse to program each DPI preset and that was quite handy.The mouse has a fully sheathed cable which is a nice thing to see and also has various options for where the cable exits the mouse to suit your individual tastes.It is a larger mouse, which I like as it fits my hand quite well, though it did take a bit of getting used to.The buttons are easy to use and do not feel sticky, but they are quite audible and the mouse is very " clicky ".I have not yet used the various weights in the back, the mouse feels fine to me, though it was too sensitive for a cloth pad. I'll need to get a new mouse pad now, but that's ok... it was time.One concern is that there is a little bit of lateral play on the mouse wheel, we'll have to see how that develops.Overall, for 20$ it's a great deal. |

Cons: Cheap build qualityone of the LEDs died after a month and a half usesometimes it moves the pointer by itself. Haven't really had time to look into the problem with that yet.
Pros: bigfits had pretty wellwell situated buttons, you can't actually accidentally hit the extra mouse buttons by accident.Excellent functionality for the price cloth covered wire so it doesn't get caught.Profiling Comment:
Overall, the mouse is very gaming friendly. It has profiling, useful for playing with other games and you want to have certain buttons do certain things in different games. But CHEAP BUILD QUALITY. feels cheap on my hands. although it is big and makes it very comfortable on you hands, there are weird slots for the last two fingers and the grooves in it kinda make ur ring and pinky seem longer than normal, thus, making your last two fingers uncomfortable. But i got used to it. though from time to time i do regret buying this mouse and should of opted for a better one. |

Cons: - Right handed only- A tad bit too sensitive (External HDD vibrations across the table will cause the pointer to slide across the screen slowly)- Buttons are real clicky/loud- Weights could be heavier.- update Dec 03 2009 -
Pros: - Very comfortable for right-handers with large hands (Palm method)- Adjustable DPI value on the fly- On-board macro execution- All buttons are customizable- Multiple profiles stored on mice' on-board memory, so no need to re-customize when used on other computers- Very flexible cable feel- Adjustable cable- Price/performance ratio Comment:
-update DEC 03 2009-I managed to weight mod my OCZ Behemoth, making it about as heavy as the Logitech G500.The result was pretty good to say the least. External HDD vibrations are no longer an issue, as the mouse no longer reacts to it.The gliding smoothness feels improved as well much better than without previous weight modding.Overall, the mouse' response was greatly improved as it doesn't slip in an unruly manner (or maybe I've been doing it wrong? o.o;).Would love to give it 5 stars, but it lacks a tilt wheel, so it gets a 4.5 from me =)--------------------A very comfortable and large mouse for right handers that use the Palm Resting method, but not those who use the Claw Grip method.Very good price/performance ratio.Its predominant weakness is the cheap feel of the mouse and the loud, clicky buttons.

Cons: Built in Caps lock profile changer
Pros: Designed well, comfortable Comment:
The mouse is good quality, customizable, comfortable... But if you use caps lock for any key bindings in any games, and you don't want to change that, do not buy this mouse. You cannot press caps lock hardly at all due to the built in profile change when pressing caps lock twice. You cannot disable the software, it is built into the mouse.To sum it up, if you ever want to use caps lock as a binding in games do not buy this mouse. Otherwise, you would probably like it. |

Cons: quite a few, definitely not worth it in the end because you will be replacing it in 6 weeks time max.
Pros: great price Comment:
-poor build quality-the feet wear out completely after about 3 weeks normal use.-cable management sucks and gets in the way-gets worse over time, very very quickly. -blue led is SUPER bright, i'm normally one to fall for the shinies, but this LED is super bright and pointed right towards the eyeball and its in fact quite annoying. Leaves bright spots on my eyeball!-will post longer review in the forums. |

Cons: N/A
Pros: Ergonomics, fits the hand well, low price Comment:
Overall, great price for a gaming mouse at only around $23 (with tax included). The $5 mailing rebate from OCZ is not much of an incentive (need to print off a form to sign, a copy of the invoice, the original UPC code, and on top of that, international mailing to San Diego; they also offer a no-wait rebate for $0.50 charge which will take around 5-7 business days as opposed to the normal 5-8 week wait, so if you take into account of that, we don't get much out of the rebate :P). The mouse is good with 4 different default settings of DPI; however, at lower DPIs it was quite insufficient to do even just normal browsing, I just stick with the highest DPI. |

Cons: left and right clicks needs a tiny bit more push in to click. That means you will not be able to click as fast as other mouse. This also mean unless you are good at using mouse, you will accidental drag click(rather than click) more than you used to have.But a normal person wouldn't notice a difference at all.Takes a little bit of time to load the mouse at first(20seconds), but if you have it plugged in all the time no problem.Cord is a little bit short compared to other gaming mouse. but for me I don't care.
Pros: Able to make profiles and set what each mouse button do different things while you play games or surf webs and quickly change it by pressing little bottom at the bottom of the mouse( different profile shows different pattern of red light at the left side of the mouse)able to adjust which top part of the mouse the cord comes out of, so you can make it come out to left, top left, (little left)top, (more right) top , top right, right. This also prevents cord from breaking off from the mouse.The cord is made out of fancy thread like those expensive logitech series.Very comfortable and good shape much better than logitech g5( I found logitech g5 uncomfortable and hurts my palm of the hand when i use it for long time).I play FPS game so I have to be able to lift the mouse up quickly, and this mouse (since the weights are at the back of the mouse not the center) I can quickly lift up front of the mouse. much better than logitech g5.I totally like the feeling of the mouse. Logitech G5 seemed too hard and left side was so slippery (plastic), but this mouse is totally sweat prevented(means it doesn't make ur hands stick to the mouse even when u sweat). I say it feels something like 0.01 mm of nice feeling rubber lol.The wheel is awesome, it is a shape of a really fat cylinder, so if u use wheel a lot, this is totally the mouse for you since those pointy sphere ones does hurt a little if u keep pressing it a lot.all the buttons, except left and right click, need a little more work to click it to prevent accidental clicks. becuase of that, I am perfectly fine using the mouse while having my thumb right on top of those side buttons without ever pressing it.( although I don't) Comment:
I have a tiny hand, I can't even lift up the basketball with my one hand.(but not as tiny as u might think)so the logitech g5 hurted the palm of my hand so much so i actually had to go back to my 10 dollar mouse (-,-).I use 2 fingers beside my thumb to click , not with the finger thats beside the little finger. This mouse has a rest spot for both little finger and the finger beside it so it feels so comfortable.I do not need 3200 DPI so what I did was change speed to 800, 1000, 1200, 1400 . and I love the blue colour in the middle of the mouse.I don't know if this is good thing or bad thing but I do not see a laser at the bottom of the mouse even though i put my eyeball right infront of it. (for logitech g5 i can see the laser).TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT. WAY BETTER THAN logitech G5 (for me).price wise, best mouse out there except maybe logitech G1(but since they stopped selling it).This is my first time writing review because this mouse was so awesome i had to tell everyone.Lastly, I hate wireless it has bad response time and batteries (ewww) so wired mouse is perfect for me.

Cons: - Stiff back/forward buttons- Slippery grip when hand dry
Pros: - Price- High DPI- Software that doesn't need to run in the background.- Comfortable- Cable routing feature- Braided cable Comment:
Used it for ~2 weeks. Satisfied overall. The only complaint I really have is the stiffness of the back/forward buttons on the left side. Coming from Logitech MX3200 (kb/mouse) mouse, these buttons are much stiffer.But for the price, I can't complain. This is probably one of the best deals for a gaming mouse. |

Cons: Wired.
Pros: Great fit.Cheap price Comment:
I bought this mouse for regular use because I found it to fit very nicely with my hand. It is a high mouse and elevates the wrist making prolonged use very comfortable. It does have a forceful holding position but I found that fine with me. Not all users may enjoy this though. I do wish it was wireless though. I've been too accustomed to being able to life my mouse anywhere. |
Nice mouse, looks nice, its a laser, with adjustable weights which is handy when playing games.The down side of this device is the size of it. Its too big in my opinion to be used for any long period of time. Due to the height of the mouse, it makes it uncomfortable to use.
