Perfect. No need for RAT 5 or more

 

Buy it now!

Best mouse I have ever owned. DPI is amazing. There is no need to get a RAT 5. I've been playing FPS on PC for over 12 years and the DPI is perfect. Button right under the scroll that lets you change the DPI to four customizable settings on the fly....

The price is the only minor con. Not really a con, but if it was $10 cheaper it would be 6 eggs

Decent Mouse

 

This is the first gaming mouse I have bought so I'm not sure what the average life expectancy is for one of these

Mouse was great while it lasted

After about 10 months something inside the mouse broke and I can no longer right click

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

 

Don't listen to any of the jokers saying the mouse has bad construction. Made out of high quality parts. I bought this to see if the mouse was really that great. IT WAS. Ill probably move to a R.A.T 7 wired for my next peripheral purchase. Happy...

By far the best mouse I have ever purchased. Ever. Also by far the best money spent on a peripheral (excluding a monitor) due to the fact that the mouse is CONSTANTLY reliable, amazing quality, and provides COMFORT FOR HOURS OF GAMING. I can chillout...

ABSOLUTELY NONE

Update

 

I must update my earlier review. This is a claw grip mouse... Not a palmer... This is where all my issues stemmed from. It definitely hurts like **** if you actually lay your hand on it. Visualize yourself gripping a racket ball in your hand. Now...

Fantastic tracking and outstanding for gaming

It could use a pinky rest that is certain

Overpriced Piece of Junk

 

It is very aesthetically pleasing. Really nice customization options. Really high DPI

I bought this mouse at Quakecon, and it has been a major problem ever since. At the time I spent about 100 dollars, on what I would later find out to be a piece of junk. The tracking is sporadic at best. Sometimes, the mouse will not even work...

Awful

 

This is a good mouse, but the design is quite horrible in my opinion. I'm not sure whether to lay my fingers flat on the buttons, or to place my palm on it and hang my fingers off the end of it. It's just horrible for me to play any FPS or WoW for one...

Works great! Smooth tracking

I have normal average sized hands... This is the most uncomfortable mouse I have EVER used. After twenty minutes of game play, my hand is killing me

Exciting mouse, but doesn't function well

 

Disappointed!

Awesome looking mouse ; Very smooth on my mousepad ; Left and right click works nicely ; Easy hookup

You have to press the thumb buttons very hard in order for them to react. One of them doesn't even work at all sometimes, which is why I had to RMA this mouse. The buttons are also very far down on the mouse, which makes it difficult to use sometimes

Ugly but Awesome

 

Awesome mouse for the price.

on the fly dpi switching, how did I ever live without it. and it really doesn't feel like your using a mouse, its amazing. very lightweight (so if you want heavy or to add weights - not your mouse)

i know it sounds silly, but there is a thumb rest, why not a pinky rest

Not worth the money

 

Its half my fault, but when you're spending $50 on a "gaming" mouse, I assumed that this was going to be a sweet mouse. The mouse does not even have weights, and my normal $5 Microsoft mouse was actually more comfortable. There is nothing "gamer" about...

Sleak/cool looking ; DPI changes at a click of a button ; nice scroll wheel

NO WEIGHTS, very light mouse ; I'm 6'4 and this mouse is very small for my hand, not a good feel ; Short cord, maybe 4 feet

Decent laser mouse

 

Got this after having a good experience with my Saitek eclipse 1 keyboard and everyone seems to have a Razor or Gx so i wanted something different. I am a little worried now that Saitek is owned by MadCatz but the quality seems fine time will tell. A...

Good laser tracking ; Nice braided USB cable ; Easy to use DPI button and LED indicator light ; Thumb rest ; Has a unique/cool look ; Works great with windows drivers

A "pinky" rest would be a great addon to this mouse
