Macally - Pebble (5 Button USB Laser Mouse)
Macally - Pebble (5 Button USB Laser Mouse)

Pros: I LOVE SMALL MICE... i love the feel of this mouse.. lightweight, able to throw it around, grab it ... the round feels good. good location of buttons. and awesome flat rubbery scroll wheel... i love the way this mouse feels... works well with my iMac G5 (10.4.11) using SteeMouse to finesse the controls. the lazer is centered at the lower 1/3 - where it should be!

Cons: Unstable (total skipping, no tracking and no fluid movement) on my Windows XP SP3 system - removed all previous mouse drivers and still no go. No XP drivers on MacAlly Site - only OSX drivers are there (but SteerMouse is still the best). Have not tried it on SP2. Here is the game breaker for ANY platform ... CAN'T USE WITH WoW!!! (do not use unless they update firmware) ... holding left button down for 3 seconds then simultaneously holding down the right mouse button for 3 seconds then releasing SWITCHES RESOLUTION!!! you see where this is going ... for instance - looking around for three seconds, running for three seconds, stop, PM, Frostbolt, arcane missles, out of the blue a rougue backstabs you, you try to evade... what the!!! my mouse resolution has changed!!! you are pwnd. back at graveyard...

Overall Review: okay... i've have probably 12 mice over the last three years longing (you've read my other reviews) ... was this the mouse... i really really really wanted to love this mouse. no, really. but it's so inexpensive, i'll hold on to it just as a reminder of what a mouse should look and feel like... for now, my household will retain the heavier, huge and awkward Razer Copperheads (blue) for the PCs and Razer Pro Mouse V1.6 for the Macs... Sorry MacAlly... better drivers for Windows and put a button on the bottom of the mouse to switch resolutions for the perfect mouse. dangit!!!

yup ... too tall

Pros: i'm sure it will keep CPU cool ... however ...

Cons: it is tall .. i knew it was going to be tall ... but it is nearly the full height of a mid atx case. cant have the fan on the side of memory (MSI 970 Gaming AM3+ AMD 970) as there is room conflict there, but cant have the fan on the other side because the case side fan (Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower) when closing has to occupy the same space ... actually had to move that fan to the outside temporarily til i get a different cooler

Overall Review: see cons

one stick DOA

Pros: unknown yet

Cons: isolated the one stick did - 3 beep :(

Overall Review: i know this manufacturer is better than this... RMA-ing for new pair. ... just a pain having to send back and wait for new sticks. i might update review later.
