Love this mouse so much!
It's quite chunky which will take a bit of getting use to but the build quality is great. The weights don't seem to make much of a difference if I'm honest but it's the programmable buttons that do it for me.
The editor is amazing. There a some set commands which you can assign but if it's not in the list it doesn't matter! With the Macro Editor you can do literally anything! There are actually 16 extra buttons which can be assigned. You press the button you have put it to and then move the mouse in one of the eight directions and a command you have given it will execute.
Even if I had £60 to shred on a mouse I would get this one. The price is just insane for what it can do!

There will probably be some skepticism in this mouse for a lot of people; myself included initially. It seems to be less than half the price of the 'reputable' gaming mice brands (Logitech, Razer etc.). I bought it on the risk that it's a lot cheaper, but that I might be settling for something that wasn't much better than I was using before (a generic laser mouse). The reviews seemed solid on here and around the net, so I took the gamble. So far, I'm glad I did.
Performance-wise: The mouse is a perfect size and fit for me (I have long fingers, so this mouse might not perform as well for smaller-handed gamers). The maximum weight seemed right for me, and I haven't yet bothered tweaking the weights or anything (it's a comfortable weight, making it feel solid and heavy enough that the slightest shudder won't make you miss a shot in your favourite first-person shooter, but also light enough that you can move it without it becoming cumbersome). All the buttons are fairly easily in reach and feel well made, and there's a tactile satisfaction to the feel of them during use. This mouse favours a claw-grip/palm grip style of use (I use a claw-grip, and it feels pretty natural).
Modularity: The DPI button allows quick switching of a set of configurable preset DPI values from 600 to 3,600. As well as allowing setups to switch between general use and specialist sniping needs efficiently, the button glows a chosen colour on different DPI values making it easy to determine the setting (plus it looks nice). Each button except the left mouse button can be freely configured. They can be set up to represent any keyboard key, multimedia hotkey function, clipboard shortcut (i.e. copy/paste etc....

So I ordered this mouse along with the SteelSeries Surface QcK (PC) after spending too long gaming with a crappy 3-button mouse with a neoprene laptop case as a mousepad. Honestly, I'm so happy with the upgrade!
I admit that at first I was reticent to buying it because it was so cheap in comparison to other good gaming mice I'd seen, but after a while of trawling through the reviews I decided to choose it over the pricier mice. It arrived swiftly and well packaged as I expected.
The actual packaging was a tad over the top, but I know that's often the case with mice. There's not much inside the actual packaging, which is quite nice. Instead of getting tons of manuals and things you'll never read or use it's just simply the mouse in the box, with a nice carry bag. Inside the bag there are spare mouse feet and a driver installation disk (BEWARE: The installation disk is miniDVD disk, which will only work with tray disk-drives).
As for the actual mouse, I'm astonished at the quality. The build is comprised of several panels of matte plastic, which feel incredibly sturdy together. Not once have i felt any sort of flex from the plastic, it's really quite strong. Along the thumb-side (left) of the mouse, there's a textured rubber panel for extra grip with your thumb. just above that are two extra buttons; these can be configured to, for example: forward and backward on an internet browser. The button closest has a dotted texture whilst the other is smooth, for easy (and eyes-free) establishment whilst you're gaming. The middle of the mouse holds 3 buttons; a scroll wheel, DPI adjust and an extra, much smaller button.... Read more ›

This mouse is very nearly perfect, I would have rated it five stars but for the scrollwheel the wheel is way to soft and not enough of a posative click when scrolling to change weapons it is very easy to pass the next indentaion in the wheel which you end up not selecting the weapon that you want. the shape is just right and you dont suffer from wrist strain even after 4 hours of gaming. The mouse has a tactile feel to the body and the thumb rest is of grip rubber no slips here. If only mouse manufactures would take the hint and put good quality wheels on this mouse it would win over a lot more expensive mice.

After being quite unimpressed at the 3 years I got out of my Razer diamondback mouse before it died (as well as the surface peeling off) I decided to go for this mouse. The reasons being it appeared to have good features for a brilliant price.
So 2 months in, the mouse performs as well as I hoped. I took all the weights out (a gimmick in my opinion) and use it on it the highest dpi with the sensitivity set to the default in Windows (slider in the middle). The jump up from 1800dpi was a little tricky at first but now I'm darting between my two 1920x1080 monitors with ease and comfort. It's nice and light and the buttons and scroll wheel work as well as you can expect (I really don't know what I can say about them!). The cable is nice and doesn't really snag on things too easily as it's braided fabric stuff. It also came with a nice pouch to carry it in. As the the build quality, it seems pretty reasonable and probably won't fall apart anytime soon.
As for gaming, I find that this mouse performs really well on my Razer mousemat. I enjoy the games and really don't notice any problems with the mouse, just as you want. I was also pleasantly surprised at its performance when I gave it a try with osu! (clicking targets in time with music) although I did find 3600 DPI too much for this but this is the kind of scenario where the button on the mouse to toggle the DPI comes into play (you can adjust how this works with the supplied software as well as macros and bindings for other buttons that I haven't felt the need to use yet).
Now for a little niggle. The left side of the mouse and the scroll wheel are a rubbery material with grooves and this obviously intended to improve grip which it certainly does.... Read more ›
