5 out of 5 stars Good gaming mouse for price   March 6, 2010
I have tried many many gaming mice. The Logitech MX518, Razer Deathadder, etc etc. This mouse is similar to those and it has a cool red underlight. The on the fly DPI switching works great when sniping and the autoscroll is very comfy and works great. All in all you can't go wrong with this mouse, it matches my X6 Keyboard and they look AMAZING togethers.

I purchased this mouse for my son for gaming and he says it works great, with no hesitation.

I would purchase another one.



4 out of 5 stars It's big, but it's still comfortable...   February 17, 2010
Like many others reading reviews of this mouse, I was wondering if maybe the mouse was too big. I will say that while it is a little bigger than other mice, it is still pretty comfortable. I like the 3 DPI buttons. Like many others, I didn't use the software on the disk, but downloaded the latest Intellipoint software from MS's website. I've used the mouse for a little gaming and I really love the 2000 dpi. Even though I can switch the dpi on the fly, I find myself kepping it at 2000 because it is very speedy. Overall, it's great. It fits my hand a little like an over-sized glove.

ok, so i have had this mouse about 2 weeks and am highly disappointed with it. i noticed when i took it out of the box that the right click wasn't as responsive as i would like, but i thought maybe that was simply because it was cold. it warmed up and the click got sharper it seemed, so i forgot all about it and was quite content til recently. well now 2 weeks later, the right click sticks, isn't fast at all, and i am truly upset that i spent money on this. i had a little basic mini-mouse that lasted me two years and cost me like 9 dollars, this one didn't even last a month and i need a new one. i don't know if i got a faulty mouse, but i wouldn't buy another. it just isn't worth it.

Great mouse and a solid upgrade over basic mice bundled with most desktops. The forward/backward buttons on the left side are quite useful for web and folder browsing, and the adjustable DPI buttons are great for gaming. Don't get this if you're a lefty though because it's designed for righties. I'm a lefty but was raised using the mouse right-handed.
