Pros: As promised, all three video ports work simultaneously. I use a Dell 22" (1680x1050) as my middle monitor, and two Dell 19" monitors (1280x1024) on either side. The 22" uses the displayport, one 19" uses the DVI, and the other uses the HDMI port thanks to a $6 HDMI-to-DVI cable I got from Newegg. The card even autodetected that monitor via the HDMI port. Also, the eyefinity "combine three monitors as one" function works fine as well, with one caveat....

Cons: ...As of this writing, ATI's drivers do not support using eyefinity (which is basically spanning your screen across multiple monitors) on monitors with different resolutions. So my middle monitor got automatically scaled back to 1280x1024, which as you can imagine, looks wonky on a 1680x1050 screen. I'm currently experimenting with SoftTH as a software solution for a couple of games I want to run, now that I have a card that supports three monitors. Since this is a software issue, I didn't knock the card rating down an egg, as the hardware itself works great, and I simply use the typical Windows "expanded desktop" to get the full screen resolution of my middle monitor when doing work.

Overall Review: Where the bracket meets the card is a little flimsy, but no complaints. The card seems quiet, but I haven't done more than play WoW at 1680x1050 with all the settings turned up, so that won't tax the card. Also, this card needs a six-pin power cord from the power supply. The video card fan is two slots high, which was fine for my case, as I had room above my video slot (just no second slot face, hence the need for a single-slot solution). This is the only triple-monitor single-slot card I know of outside of Matrox's offerings. Hopefully more manufacturers follow suit.

Pros: The six buttons on the left side of the mouse, surrounding a thumbrest, feature near-perfect button tension. I can move the mouse itself with one thumb over any of the six buttons, without clicking the button until I intend to click. I find the buttons above (3,6) and below (1,4) the thumbrest easiest to use, while the button in front (2) and especially in back (5) require more reach. A ten-degree shift of the button plane (i.e. make the 2 button higher and the 5 button lower) would help, but that's a nitpick. I vastly prefer the Hex button design over the original Naga 12-button design. My large, clumsy thumbs didn't develop precision with the Naga thumbpad even after two weeks of strong use including the attachable trainers. The Hex thumbpad makes much more intuitive sense to me. The rest of the ergonomics feel good. Since the position of the side buttons cannot adjust forward or backward, and the layout does demand some precision, holding the Hex took me a few days to get used

Cons: The thumbrest itself is made of a dense foam material. Razer includes two alternate height replacement thumbrests in case you want a more shallow or more raised option. I haven't yet settled on which one I like. I wish Razer made the thumbrests out of the same rough matte plastic as the sides of the mouse, as the material of the "grip area" around the mouse is fantastic -- no slip, yet not a grime magnet, either. It makes the thumbrests feel slippery by comparison. The Synapse 2.0 software seems to have a couple of bugs, which stand out since the rest of the software is so good. Synapse 2.0 distinguishes between left and right modifier keys when making macros -- left shift, right alt, etc. But in the mouse customization tab, Synapse 2.0 can only distinguish between left and right shift -- not left and right ctrl or alt. Why not? My WoW macros beg for more modifiers.

Overall Review: The rest of the ergonomics feel good. Left and right button tension again feels precise -- strong enough to prevent accidental clicks, yet loose enough to click fast. The same goes for scrolling. The scroll wheel button (i.e. button 3) takes a little more of a push, which is also good. Buttons 4 and 5 (just below the scroll wheel) are inconvenient for quick access, and better used for changing options, dpi on the fly, etc. The mouse has an average size and weight, and glides effortlessly on my wooden desk surface with no tracking glitches. Overall, The Razer Hex fulfills much of what I wanted from a gaming mouse. In many ways, my criticisms are a tribute to the excellent design of the hardware and the software -- when everything else works so well, the struggling parts stand out that much more. Four eggs to one of the best mice I've used, with the last egg lost to cutting a couple of corners with the thumbrests and the software that could potentially find resolution in the future.
