4 out of 5 eggsExcellent Mouse

Pros: Excellent tracking, and great button features. I love the customizable ergonomics of this mouse, and being able to add weight makes this the mouse for me. I applaud having the battery charger act as a 'dock' for the spare battery, as well as a receiver for the wireless mouse signal. Mouse looks great and is always a conversation piece. This mouse just feels good to use. The hardware feels solid and reliable. It's nice to be able to adjust the mouse to the contours of your hand.

Cons: This is barely a con, just being nit-picky and is something that can use improvement. Mediocre battery life, but it's not a deal breaker.

Other Thoughts: One battery charge usually lasts me 4-5 one hour sessions. It's not such a big deal to swap batteries. To other reviewers claiming "nightmare" scenarios changing batteries.......this is not the case. It takes a few seconds to swap the battery and click the new one in place. The second battery is always charged when I need it, so I don't have much issue with this at all. Another word to counter a bad review I've read, wrist support isn't provided by a mouse, you need to get an ergonomically correct wrist rest for wrist support. You've got to be careful when reading reviews because a lot of times you just get the complaining, whiners. I've tech savy and posting the truth. Excellent mouse, I would buy again.

1 out of 5 eggsWhy Rat? Whyyyyyy???

Pros: - Nice rubberized finish
- Heafty (+adjustable weight)
- The "Aim Slowdown" button
- Nice, Sensitive Laser!

Cons: - Too Many To List
- The adjustments work against the comfort-ability of your hand. You Wrist Will not have sufficient leverage to rest on. You will get strains over time.
- The battery is weak. No we have been provided with two you say? It is an absolute "nightmare" trying to switch the batteries every evening. I wounded my fingers trying to remove the mouse's food! Unacceptable! It's wild, and nasty!
- The cursor will not behave properly NO MATTER what you do. IT IS NOT A DRIVER COMPATIBILITY ISSUE!!!
- The base has to literally be RIGHT NEXT TO THE MOUSE for Gamers sake, for the're to be any retention of a smooth cursor movement..... And even THEN!!!! :( ....Cursor doesn't move per your command, it moves whenever it wants to.


And guys, believe me, I am NOT new to computers. This product should be stayed away from as if it were a vicious fire-breathing rat, that it is. If you play along with it, it will kill you.

Other Thoughts: I really, wanted, I REALLY WANTED to keep, own, be proud to own one of these mice. It woke on it's own and convinced me completely otherwise!!! It was a nightmare as soon as I connected this mouse to my pc. Everything installed properly, and I thought, yay, all is well. Until i entered a game and my mouse cursor started lagging!... Not Exeptable!. I lost, left the game, proceeded to troubleshooting all the possibilities. Uninstalled any and all other user interface devices. No Go. As I knew, right from the beginning. I also noticed that the receiver's signal is very weak. 12 centimeters away from the mouse, the cursor would lagg. Receiver right on top of mouse, lagg is still there just not as disturbing. If this can be of any help to the makers of this product. I actually think the laser is fine here, in this model. And what was causing the issues for me was that loss signal type of effect. The mouse would slow down to half the speed I was mooving it at. Constantly.!!! Unacceptable. When I clicked on the desktop, lets say a button, the click would jump up and right or something lilke that and I failed to hit the button I was aiming for... Also Unacceptable....

Guys Please Redeem yourselves, this product is killing you as a brand. Test everything before releasing to public.

I am in the process of RMA'ing it back to newegg. And if possible will keep you guys up to date on any developements. I wish that I could get any suggestions for me to replace the Rat with another decent gaming mouse?
