> 3 dayI’ve got this mouse 3 times and I’m about to get another one. No I don’t leave them sitting on shelves or something, I’ve used each one till they died on me. That’s the catch, everything is really solid about this mouse, feels great looks great, plays great for gaming on the daily. BUT eventually with such frequent and heavy use eventually something starts to act up. Don’t get me wrong it feels sturdy it’s not bad build quality (Or at least I don’t think it is) it’s great up until a certain point and from my experience that’s about 4-5 months. First one was a double clicking problem I would click once and it would click twice or I would click and it would act as though I was still holding the left button even though I wasn’t. Second one same thing. This time it’s a disconnection issue it’ll be working just fine and then mid game it’ll just stop working for 2-3 seconds. Moral of the story, great mouse, worth the money, and I will be buying another, despite its eventual demise.

Greater than one weekThe mouse is extremely comfortable to use and has been functioning well for the 3 or so months I had it. Only has like two things that I dont like that kind of keep me from rating it 5 stars, but I would recommend nonetheless. Would recommend to those that play games or dont, its overall very pleasant and comfortable. The coating on the mouse feels a little odd (kinda chalky) and gets greasy and gross way too easily. I dont have particularly greasy hands, so its definitely a issue with the coating but its easy to clean with a Clorox wipe. I probably should have gotten the glossy version, it would have felt a lot more comfortable and I recommend others to get that one too. The software while great is not as customizable as I would like. Specifically the mouse has a layer shift function that allows you to basically transform some of the buttons to have different functions. The issue with this feature is that its awkward to use while playing games, it requires you to press down the scroll wheel and you cant bind it to a different button. If I was able to bind the layer shift to a different button like the back button it would have been a excellent mouse. The mouse does save everything on board though so you can use it without needing to constantly have the software for it running in the background.

Greater than one weekThis is the perfect shape; great for shooters. Regular mice shape just feel wrong to me now (too narrow), and Ive only used this for 1 day. I even just bought a second one as backup.

> 3 dayComing from a logitech g502, I needed something that didnt make my ring and pinky finger numb after 45 minutes of light use. And this knocks it out of the park! That being said, Pros: - virgin ptfe feet. Super smooooooth. -ergonomics crazy good. Rivals a vertical mouse in comfort. - light as a feather. Makes it great for any user, I bought one for my mom who doesnt game and she loves it. - small, but not tiny. I have big hands (8.2in. from pinky tip to thumb tip) and its still great. - very customizable and easy to use software. - braided, very lightweight floppy cable. Love this. My g502s cable was way too rigid. Cons: -the buttons are poor quality switches, I can see them wearing out before too long. Theyre perfectly functional though, and the moment they break Im going to buy another one! - dpi switch button is on the bottom of the mouse. Really disappointed here. No DPI shiff button either, really miss that. - software is almost a gigabyte of storage, and it HAS TO start with windows to apply your custom DPI settings and lighting. Might be an issue for older laptop users who have bulky work software installed. Overall if youre not the most serious gamer boi, this is a great deal with how low the price is. Highly recommend!

> 3 dayThe Grip: First of all, when Cooler Master claims this is the king of the Claw Grip mouse grip, theyre lying to you. Not sure what they were thinking, if anything its a decent Fingertip mouse, but unless you have tiny hands (and I mean TINY) you cannot claw grip this mouse comfortably. I have small hands, and my hands are too big for this mouse, and Im a claw grip person. Id like to be able to place the tip of my pointer finger at the back end of the scroll wheel in order to quickly flick the scroll wheel to change weapons in a game, however the flat part of my pointer finger rests 3/4 of the way up the scroll wheel, making it incredibly inconsistent for me to scroll quickly. Sometimes I miss my scrolls completely and end up dying because I cant switch weapons. I also find myself always wanting to right click (M2) with my ring finger because of the fat resting spot for your ring finger, and it take some getting used to (about 30m) to train myself to not do that. Then with claw grip, your palm kind of rests on the far back of the mouse a little, but with this mouse, it cant rest on it at all, forcing you into a fingertip grip. And palm grip is just physically impossible on this thing. The Materials: The mouse I purchased was Matte Black. I own an MM710, and I love it, also in Matte Black. The matte material they use with this mouse is different than the MM710, and the new material is so much worse. Your hands get stuck on the mouse, making it incredibly uncomfortable to move your ring finger for any reason, and your thumb gets stuck on the side when youre trying to hit your side buttons. Makes me wish I had gotten the glossy version, I probably would have liked it more. The Side Buttons: I cant explain why its like this, but the M4 button is nicely extruded from the mouse, allowing for easy pressing of the mouse--whether you roll your thumb up to it, or lift it to press it--, but M5 is so far up the mouse and it feels like its embedded further into the mouse, making it really hard to press. It almost feels like M5 is part of the frame of the mouse, whereas M4 is an actual button. I would have liked to see M5 where M4 is, and M4 further back on the mouse. Scroll Wheel: The scroll wheel has the smallest stops in the world, its pitiful. You can VERY easily slide right past your weapons because of how poor the stops are. Note: This is with putting my finger in the comfortable position to scroll, which isnt natural when gripping the mouse. This also means when you go to try and push M3, you instead scroll because the stops dont do a good enough job at preventing you from NOT scrolling. Software/RGB: Not a selling point for me, but the RGB on this mouse is terrible. The vibrancy of the colors is minimal. You choose a pink and it comes out dull, practically white, and you pick a purple and it comes out pink. All standard colors are the same way. I used the same color code for my MM720 as I did my SK630, and the vibrancy difference is night and day. Positives?: Compared to my MM710, I do appreciate them decreasing the size of the holes so your fingers dont get stuck in them while playing. I do personally like that feature of the MM710 because I can place my pinkie finger in one of the holes to keep it off my mouse pad to reduce friction, but I know a lot of people dont like those holes. Its extremely light weight, even less than my MM710, which I can definitely appreciate, even if the difference is negligible. The cable is the same as the MM710, which I still think is the best cable in the business. Its like attaching a shoe lace to your mouse, it never kinks, never tangles, and its as light as a feather. Thats about it honestly. I do not recommend this mouse to anybody, but if youre willing to give it a try, be my guest. Its only suitable in my opinion for Claw Grip individuals with REALLY small hands, or small handed Fingertip individuals. Palm users, go find something else.

> 3 dayAbsolutely love this mouse. I use it for both a mac and PC, with a USB switch allowing me to quickly change from one to the other, and it is a pleasure to use for all my daily work.

> 3 dayNot going to blather on about specs and all that nonsense, just gonna say... This mouse is amazing. (at first..) I have been on a mice collecting spree for awhile now and I just snagged this sucker up even though I told myself I was done buying wired mice. The praise for its shape was just too good to pass up and I figured it was different enough to justify adding it to my collection. Lemme tell ya this thing is as comfortable as has been said by many reviewers. -The light weight makes it so snappy, yet the grip allows for so much control. - I would also like to point out the stock cord that comes with it is great. It is basically like having a shoestring on the mouse and it is very unnoticeable (Very nice to see as a standard cable, more mouse-makers need to take note) -The clicks are all snappy and responsive, with nice comfort groves for your fingers to rest. They are a little weak sounding but we want function over sound and thats what you get here. My only major complaint (aside from there not being a wireless version) is the side buttons are a little small. Not as bad as the Razer Viper Ultimate and they do protrude a bit more, but they could have been better. (Check out the side buttons on the Roccat Burst COOLER MASTER. Those are proper side buttons!) Anyways... If the shape interests you, dont hesitate, treat your hands to this wonderful mouse it is worthy of being your go-to fragging tool. Edit: After using this mouse for only a few weeks the M1+2 clicks develop a noticeable squeak/creak due to the weak plastic used for the switch covers which also have a lot of flex. There is no wobble or Post-pretravel and the clicks are still responsive, but the material is without a doubt very weak/cheap. I ended up getting myself a Hyper X Pulsefire Haste which is also a Lightweight-Honeycomb design, it weighs 59g (10 more than this, still lightweight enough) and costing only $50 as well and I gotta say... The Pulsefire Haste destroys the MM720 when it comes to build/material quality for the pricepoint. The M1+2 clicks are so much more satisfying and actually made strong with 0 flex. HyperX did not cheap out on the clicks like CoolerMaster did. Now this may seem like Im trying to sell you on a Hyper X Pulsefire Haste instead of the MM720, but Im not... (Though you should try out the Haste, Best $50 out of the box mouse on the market... Just sayin) ....because the CoolerMasterMM720 is a very unique mouse shape and I love it and am sure you will too if you are interested in the shape, but I definitely feel Cooler Master could take a page out of HyperXs playbook when it comes to actually building a proper endgame mouse that does not sacrifice in build quality just to be lightweight. I very much hope CoolerMaster will make a V2 of the MM720 that sees refinements to the overall build. Until then, this mouse is not actually meeting its full potential and it is a shame because the shape is truly great. Seriously, CoolerMaster if you ever read this. The MM720 could easily be the perfect endgame mouse for many if you guys would dump some major love into it. Im talking Final Mouse Mouse of the Gods level of love. -Make it wireless -Same weight range 47-55g -Magnesium Alloy structure I would gladly pay $150-$200 for this mouse.

> 3 dayExcellent, lightweight, responsive, ergonomic mouse, especially for palm-grippers like myself. Good sensor, good cable, RGB if youre into that sort of thing, super-lightweight honeycomb shell. Its perfect... ...until you have to interact with MasterPlus, CoolerMasters absolutely mindless implemenation of the already awful trend of mandatory software that sits in your tray all day doing who-knows-what. At best, the offerings from Razer, Logitech, etc. in this department are competent enough to stay out of the way until you need them, but MasterPlus... let me count the ways it disappoints. First, it doesnt update itself. Whenever it needs an update, which seems to be weekly, it just... stops working. Which means your mouse sensitivity, lighting, game profiles, everything they make you set up in this awful software is disabled until you update the software manually. Theres also no prompt to do so, the only way you know your MasterPlus is out of date is when the mouse goes dark and resets to 800 DPI in the middle of whatever youre doing. Oh, did I mention installing this update actually reinstalls the whole software suite every time? Which means theres no point in setting up profiles or anything more complicated than 30 seconds of fiddling in the tool will allow, because it does a full reinstall of the suite and, although it asks if youd like to keep your old settings a profiles, still just blows them all away when it starts anew? I have no idea how there can be such a huge gulf between the hardware and software arms of this company, but this insane software is the only thing that stops me from recommending this mouse to others and, furthermore, buying a few backups for myself. If youre looking for the return of the G9X, this is it, but hold out until someone else remakes it or CoolerMaster fixes this tool.

> 3 dayThis mouse is very comfortable, great for its price, and very light. The only issue I have with it is that the first one I got is continuously disconnecting due to a kink at the beginning of the wire near the mouse cover. The wire protection is great; its like a shoe lace, but the wire under it is very cheap.

> 3 dayThe Cooler Master MM720 is a great mouse. The new white one I just bought replaces another black MM720. Seems that whatever mouse I buy, it only lasts a year. Go figure. That being said, the MM720 lasts longer than others I have tried. I have large hands so you would think a larger mouse would work better, but, no so. The shape of the MM720 allows my hand to comfortable use the controls without hardly moving my hand and the natural claw grip is shaped perfectly for a resting hand and fingers. The only downside (but not for me) is that the DPI selection button is on the bottom side. Not a big deal as once set, it wont be touched again. You can download the MasterPlus+ software to change the MM720 color leds. I highly recommend the MM720.
