5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: -Great if you've got big hands.
-Adjustable weight
-Doesn't feel too cheap for something bought for $30 (in sale)

Cons: -Adjustable DPI lacks customization possibilities, it's limited to presets (say, 400-800-1000-1400-1600 dpi, you can't get anything between that (say, no 1250 dpi)).

Other Thoughts: Great deal for 30$.

5 out of 5 eggsVery Good.

Pros: The mouse is big! Fits my hand really really well.
Very smooth cursor movement.
Weights are very nice, make your mouse heavy or light.

Cons: none that i can see.

Other Thoughts: If you hand is small, you shouldn't get this mouse because it is large. I'm 6'3" and it fits my hand just right.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Great mouse, feels natural in hand and feels really smooth. The scroll wheel feels excellent and is also really smooth. Love the adjustable weight, great feature to have.

Cons: Takes a bit too long to open up Games folder when pushing the logo button, but it's not that hard to click start: games.

5 out of 5 eggsVery Nice Mouse

Pros: -Feels great
-Very Customizable, simple to do
-Can change the weight
-Nice scroll wheel (clicks like other mouses when scrolling, but feels better)
-Wired

Cons: -The light almost never goes off
-Wired (can be a hassle with lots of other wires, not all that bad)

Other Thoughts: I got the mouse on sale for only 30 bucks, otherwise it would have been too much for me for a mouse It doesn't feel cheap at all, and is easy to get used to.

5 out of 5 eggsGive it time

Pros: Side Buttons - These buttons actually lie perfectly beneath your thumb and feel more natural than any other mouse I've tried.
Cable Anchor - I usually ziptie my cable up for slack, but this is a more elegant solution.
Weight - Starts out pretty light, but plenty of weight can be added if you like a heavier mouse as I do.

Cons: Sensitivity Adjustment - The buttons for this just aren't that useful, and the speed settings are limited to broad ranges.
Quicklaunch Button - Useless, but at least it doesn't accidentally get pressed.
Macro Button - Only one, and it's a reach to get to it.

Other Thoughts: The day I got this mouse, I hated it. It felt awkward and, surprisingly, is larger than the Logitech G9 with the large grip is. In less than a week, this became my favorite mouse. After getting used to this mouse, it feels smooth, responsive, and comfortable.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Really nice scroll wheel
Looks nice from the top
Extra buttons are helpful
Works like a mouse is supposed to.
Comes with a weight for the mouse AND the wire so that you can keep the slack in place.

Cons: All of the problems this mouse has would probably no longer be a problem after a month or so of using it.
Its a little big in the back compared to other mice, so it just feels odd.
The feet of the mouse make it feel awkward when using a fabric mouse pad, you will need a hard surface or a flat plastic mouse pad for this.
The red plastic on the bottom of the mouse looks cheap. I know you never really look at it, but it just looks like it doesn't belong.

Other Thoughts: I will be keeping this as a backup mouse, because I don't have the patience to get used to how odd this thing feels. Otherwise a great mouse, just give it some time.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat mouse at a low price point!

Pros: Absolutely beautiful (if you couldn't tell from the screenshots). Microsoft has definitely taken a page out of Razers book with the design on this bad mama jama.

For me, the large size of this mouse is great. I have big hands (I'm 6'4"), and none of my fingers hang awkwardly off the mouse.

The click wheel has the perfect amount of resistance between clicks, and is great for switching weapons in FPS titles.
Tons of accessories: Cable anchor (and storage case), multiple feet to swap out, and anywhere from 0-30 grams of additional weight to add.

DPI adjust on the fly is really a nice feature. Great for running and gunning at 800-2000 DPI, then dropping it down to 400 for sniping.

Cons: If you have small hands, this mouse might suck.

The "lcd" display is practically useless. If you can figure out that the bottom button is the lowest dpi, and the top button is the highest, you soon realize the lcd is just a gimmick.

Buttons (including left and right click) do not take much to press. If you are heavy handed and absent minded, you can easily accidentally press them.

It won't fly, pay my bills, make me a better gamer, give me discounts on newegg products, or help me get into better shape.

Other Thoughts: This mouse is great. Feels good, works like it's supposed to, and for the 30 dollar price point that I got it at, it has pretty much all of the features you need in a gaming mouse. If you find this bad boy on sale, pick it up.

Oh, and in typical newegg fashion, this bugger got to me in 3 days. Excellent.

2 out of 5 eggsNot comfortable

Pros: Weights and mouse feet

Cons: Uncomfortable. Side mouse buttons are to close together. Hurt my hand after 30 minutes.

Other Thoughts: Was going to RMA it, but the RMA cost, restocking fee + shipping was 25% the cost of the mouse. No thanks Newegg, and I'll make sure I purchase my computer equipment from another vendor from now on.

3 out of 5 eggsMeh...

Pros: Tons of buttons. You can customize the thing like crazy.

Cons: Mouse is not comfortable at all. As a dude with pretty regular-sized hands, Its kinda big in the rear.

Other Thoughts: Used for a couple days and then went back to previous mouse
