Durable

Reviewed By: CriticalPoint on 7/19/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Nice looking mouse. Impresses my friends. Has lasted through many games including the kind that tick me off so badly I've banged the mouse against the desk. Hard. So here it is a year later and it's still in one piece. Everything works and while there "may" be better mice available this is the one I'm sticking with because it survived my abuse while retaining 100% functionality. Macro setup is not bad and so far has worked under WinXP, Vista and 7.

Cons: It has a shiny strip of plastic on the top that I have to occasionally clean. On the fly DPI changes work well but I've found it to be a worthless features. I just adjust the desktop where I want it and adjust each game individually and never mess with it again.

Other Thoughts: After a year of use the 5 foot pads still look like new using a mix of a teflon coated and cloth pads. Click functions are still crisp and the scroll wheel has relaxed just a little making scrolling easier. It broke in after 2 months or so and has maintained its current feel for the last 10. Great mouse.

Awesome mouse

Reviewed By: Fearless on 5/5/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: If you have big hands then this mouse is for you. Its very comfortable. I use it many hours of the day for gaming and my fingers never get tired. Stays very clean if you use a mouse pad never really need to clean it. Moves very smooth.

Cons: Little to none. On the sides of the mouse they have soft rubber for grib. But for the bottons its smooth plasic. If it was all rubber like the Razor mouses then it would be alot nicer.

Other Thoughts: If this mouse ever breaks on me. Im 90% ill buy it again unless I can find a better one ;P

Good Mouse

Reviewed By: on 3/11/2010

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This mouse works well and gets the job done. It has not let me down after hours and hours of use. Much better than the last mouse I was using. It did take a little bit getting used to but now that I have gotten used to it, I would not be able to go back.

Cons: There is nothing special to this mouse and I may be replacing it with a new razor.

Other Thoughts: I got it when it was on sale for 29.99 got one for me and one for my brother. Do not regret it at all.
