Advantages: Reliable, customisable and fast

Disadvantages: Bundled software is awful but not needed.

I play computer games. It's the main use for my computer, and I want every advantage that I can get from technology. As I play shooter games, I rely on having a comfortable mouse, that is accurate and points where I tell it, when I tell it. This mouse does exactly that at a reasonable cost.

Out of the box, it is a smart mouse that you can (expectedly) plug straight in and will work straight away, but it is worth spending some time considering how you like the mouse first. It has removable weights in the bottom to make it lighter, and the teflon pads can be altered to provide more or less friction to provide the perfect weighting and glide for you. The usual buttons are available, two main buttons on top, the mouse wheel (also depressible as a button) and the 2 thumb buttons. These are all mappable using the supplied software, which I found reasonably easy to set up but not hugely intuitive, so that you can use them to replicate other buttons from the keyboard. Not only that, but a further button on top allows you to switch between 2 configuration sets, effectively doubling the number of buttons available to you. On top of that, you can change the mouse sensitivity on the fly with a final 2way button, toggling from 800 - 3200dpi which can be useful in game.
This is an all round quality mouse that is customisable to suit your preferred gaming and mouse style, which looks good and performs quickly. I love it and recommend it highly.

Summary: This is an all round quality mouse that looks good and performs well.
