Amazing first gaming mouse. I used it for design work too and have no issues. Most mouses dont last a year on my hands so this is a record-breaker for me. My only complaint is the lack of Linux support, you need 3er parties to configure the mouse and no GUI opportunity which is the only reason I may no rebuy the same brand in the future since Linux has become my main OS and I find myself gaming a lot more than in Windows lately.

Great for gaming. Glides smoothly. Overall Im happy with this product

After a few days it stopped clicking.. .it still worked but you couldnt feel the click. Still like the brand though I should have known better than to get the cheapest possible one.

After a year of use, I had to retire this thing. The back side button (M4) started getting finnicky (i.e. not staying held down when I tried holding the button down) after a few months of use. I thought this was maybe a fluke, but now my right mouse button is doing the same thing, and its unusable. I got this mouse because of its high IPS, which is an absolute must for competitive gaming. Unfortunately, it didnt seem to stand the test of time. Id go with an alternative.

It works very well. We have it with a Steel Series mouse pad and they are fast, accurate and easy to use. The interface for adjusting settings is user friendly. The fact that I can adjust the light is a nice touch.

Lasted about 2 years before the right click mouse button cracked open/broke/detached, which just happened a few minutes ago. Was a good mouse until then. Wont be buying another though.

I was looking for a simple and reliable corded mouse, and this one works. My only complaint is that its a little small, but I got used to it pretty quickly. It doesnt have a lot of other functionality, but it works for me as a casual gamer.

Its definitely NOT for people with small hands. Although the width isnt that wide, the length is longer than Id like for constant use. The top is a matte finish which makes me feel like its always dirty. I prefer a smoother finish. Guess the matte is better for gamers but Im a designer so that extra grip isnt necessary for me. It also feels a lot heavier than my old HP mouse so hopefully Ill get used to that. Makes it feel like I really have to push it around the mouse pad which I dont really like. The track wheel also is a lot stiffer than some others that Ive had. The cable is nice and long so no issues there. The price was reasonable so overall, Ill try to get used to it, only because I hate returning things online.

Shipping was FAST! Coming from the other side of the world to my home was pretty quick received package in 4 days (including weekends) Mouse works perfectly good upgrade from a Kinzu v2 Pro User (sadly broke :( )
