Advantages: A great accurate mouse, a bargin for £15
Disadvantages: None
Nowadays, mice for your comer come in loads of sizes, and some are really odd and horrible for your hand. Some are cheap and badly made, but personally I prefer one that fits my hand and is easy to use, and it has to be a laser one. So when I saw this in a sale for £10, I had to get it, just as a spare to start off with. And it replaced my old mouse in a instant.
The mouse nicely fits in my hand, and if I try it in my left hand, it also fits nicely. Whilst some companys can boast about this, this mouse honestly does fit nicely in your hand, and is easy to move about. The mouse's left and right buttons work very well, not making a very load noise when clicked, and in the 1 and a half years I have had it, I have never had a problem with them, unlike some mice where after clicking it can get stuck, meaning you have to find a way to fix it, or get a new mouse. The mouse also has a very useful back and forward button on it, meaning you can make your browser go back or forwards a page much quicker and easyer than doing it the normal way. Granted, it does take a bit of time to get us to using them, but when you do get use to them, they are very very useful, and not just a worthless gimick. The mice scroll button also works well, with it moving very smoothly, and not getting stuck. Also, the mouse does have a very nice LED glow, and it does look quite nice in the dark. The laser on the mouse also is very accurate, and is one of the best I have seen on a mouse.
The thing is, some mice nowadays offer loads of buttons to record things with, but to be honest, I have had a mouse that has had 2 of them, and I had no use for them, and not many people do, but mabey a WoW player would disagree. and other ones do really work amazingly. One of my friends who is a very keen gamer has the Logitech G9, and to be honest, that is a mindblowing mouse, slightly better than this. But normally that is about £70, 7 times more than this mouse, and to be honest this mouse is the best one I have ever had, it has really lasted well, it has not broken, and I have dropped it on the floor loads of times. Sure, it has scratched loads, but this is one of the best low budget mice out there, even rivalling some of the better mice out there at the moment. So unless you want to blow £35+ on a mouse, get this one. It will fit all your everyday needs, and as a keen UT player, I have found it is very good for gaming.
Summary: A great mouse, if you are looking for a mouse under £35, works well with everything really.
