Advantages: Stunning looks, top performance, top bannana!

Disadvantages: Battery life, maybe?

I bought this mouse after my old Razer mouse got a bit old and tired. I kept with the Razer brand as they're always good.

The main thing that drew me to buying this mouse was the looks, its gorgeous. Its not a bright luminous LED thing sitting on my desk looking cheap and nasty, it looks sleek and sexy - you have eyes, look at the pictures! The mouse can be used wirelessly with the charging dock, or it can be used wired.

In terms of performance I cant fault it. The most sensitive setting is insane, way too fast for me. I keep it about in the midline using the handy little buttons on the left of the mouse which you can use to change the sensitivity.
There are also 2 more buttons on the left side of the mouse with I assume are supposed to be used with the thumb but with me having small hands I cant quite reach the furthest one. This is no problem for me though, I'd never use them anyway. Other than that there's the usual left, middle and right click buttons.

When used wirelessly I never encountered any issues in terms of connectivity or interference from anything. I now use the mouse with the wire plugged in which leads me on to..

The only niggle I have with this mouse and could be a deal breaker for some people is the battery life. I often found myself having to mess around away from the pc for half an hour whilst the mouse charged up. After a while I soon get a bit fed up and decided to use it wired. I must add though that this was only an issue after prolonged periods of use (10+ hours).

The above problem is only a very small niggle and unless youre a seriously heavy user it should not even become an issue.

Summary: Brilliant mouse, buy it!
