Advantages: quick response, easy to use, great value for money

Disadvantages: doesnt look amazing but no isn't ugly either.

I've had this mouse for the past year now.

"Responsiveness"
Very accurate and smooth. Speed can always be adjusted through windows like all mouses. But you shouldn't really need to as i find this to be perfect.

"Durability"
Like i said i have had this mouse for a year now, no problems at all still working perfectly and there is no need for maintenance since the mouse is a laser mouse.

"Look and feel"
The style of the mouse is what i would call average, it's not a looker but it isn't an eye-sore either. The mouse is more built for purpose rather that style. The mouse's design suits both right and left handed people and has been tested by my friend who is left handed with good response.

"Ease of use"
The mouse came with a CD, but i didn't it and it was just plug and play for me personally. But like most plug and play hardware you have to plug it in before you start your PC up. However my friend has the same mouse and he agrees with everything above but he says when he un-plugs it and plugs it back in, it takes him a few re-starts of his PC before the mouse responds. Whether that is a problem with his PC or the mouse i don't know.

The mouse has a very easy to use layout which doesn't require much effort or awkward movement of fingers to use the buttons or scroll button so it feels very natural to use. The mouse also has a feature that allows you scroll sideways, this isn't used very often has most web-pages don't stretch but the feature can also be used to go forward and backward to previous and current web-pages just like the back and forward button does in your browser.

"Value for money"
Value for money wise, you know that saying "you get what you pay for" well you do plus you get a little bit more too. I'm a bit of a PC gamer and games require more than the average mouse for best experience and this is exactly what this mouse is, it isn't a gaming mouse but it's a top above all the average home mouses. Perfect for anyone on a budget or anyone wanting a good office mouse.

Summary: very good office mouse, great for gaming too
