I bought this mouse thinking that the LASER would not "walk alone" like almost every optic mouse.
But it does, and ONLY in my black mouse pad, which is really bad, cause this mousepad has a gel that helps my problematic hand not to hurt after a long period of time using the computer.
Maybe there''s one explanation for this...
But, it's a good mouse.

These mice have really added a lot of comfort. Whether programming at work or gaming at home, I have not had fatique symptoms. I used to have to switch hands every 3 months, but haven't since I got these.

Finally died on me after 3 yrs (give or take a month or 2) of rough handling.
Easiest to use, great performance for games or normal use, comfortable grip, and features given are about all you actually need.
Going to buy another one asap.
One Of the best Mouse of all time.

When I first purchased this mouse, I wasn't certain what I was getting myself into - I'd never owned a mouse that wasn't symmetrically shaped. (it fit fine, speaking as a female gamer)
The first thing I noticed upon plugging this sucker into my computer was... laser mice don't like fabric mouse pads. They're not terribly fond of textured laminate, either. However! They work fabulously on paper, very slightly textured plastics, arm rests (leather, anyway), and anything else that isn't very porous. Paper with a lot of art, or varied black on blank, may cause problems, but less contrasting differences (lined paper) work fine.
They also don't like pet hair. As long as I'm using the mouse on the proper surface, the ONLY reason the mouse will act up on me (100% of the time, I tell you!) was because some small strand of dog hair had found its way up into the tracking area. Easy enough to remove (tweezers are your friend).
After experiencing a laser mouse for the fist time, I will never be content with an optical mouse again. It's been steadier and more responsive than any optical mouse I've ever used.
I use the scroll wheel pretty often, though I don't use it for clicking. It's not hard to click with it, but it's not a super soft click either. It's just at an awkward angle for me (possibly due to smaller hands). I've made occasional use of the sideways scrolling, and that's quite simple and easy as well - easier than clicking was.
I use the Back button on the side quite often, but the Forward button is just slightly out of comfortable reach for me (and rather small). I'm not sure how they could improve upon that, though, and still allow the back button to remain universally helpful to all hand sizes.
I've had my mouse for about three years now (I think? when did it come out?) and have had only one minor complaint about it, mostly in the last year. The little feet near the palm of my hand started to "slide" off of their adhesive, and would gum up slightly on my mouse pad, and various small debris would stick to the adhesive instead. It's rather... icky. Both have come off completely now. I understand the need for mouse feet, but something that snapped into the base would be more pleasing to me. Perhaps it's the Arizona heat that does it, but even so, three years with a single mouse that's used heavily 365 days a year is a very good run.
I've used it enough that my palm has rubbed off part of the silver stripe, revealing the white plastic beneath.
My biggest problem now is to replace the thing... I'm looking at the G9 now!

I bought this mouse with my new laptop, as I hate touch-pads, and couldn't find a notebook with a trackball. The mouse works fine, and was easy to set up, the cord gets in the way sometimes, but otherwise this is a great mouse!

As a gamer, I really didn't want a cordless mouse (risk of mouse dying), but I did want an inexpensive laser mouse (just to try something new). I had looked at Razer's selection, but I've always found their products to be a bit pricey without much to really back them up. I found this mouse on TigerDirect when I was ordering parts for my new computer and thought it was a pretty nice deal at about 35-40 USD. Ever since I've taken this thing out of the box I've had no problems (I run Vista Home Premium 32 bit). The software that comes with this mouse makes it very customizable and the feel of the mouse does not get uncomfortable, even after eight hour gaming sessions. Albeit, the center click was a bit different than what I've grown accustomed to, it only took me a few days to get used to it. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.

The center wheel button doesn't provide any feedback "click" (sound or feel), is very hard to press, and only occasionally works. If you use the center wheel button for anything (in my case a command-click on my Mac), I highly recommend that you do not get this mouse.

1 - the design is cheesy
2 - tha shape is not ergonomic, especially if you are used to use the G1 or any old Pilot mice. the shape of this is uncomfotable and if have been using a Pilot for 20yrs this mouse will disappoint you.
3- the wheel is good but when pressed is not precise and 1 tim on 3 you risck to activate the horizontal scroll instead of the event associated by pressing it.
4 - that buttons on the side are too easy to be pressed so is easy to press them by mistake.
5 - in the cd i didnt find the Mac Os X software
6 - i'm gonna return it.

I switched from a wireless mouse to a corded mouse for accommodation of a KVM switch. At first I found the lighter weight displeasing, but I adapted quickly. There are plenty of custom key assignments for CAD work. No more batteries to recharge. Terrific Mouse.

I purchased this mouse primarily for gaming purposes. Tired of the lag and inaccuracy associated with a wireless model, I opted for this corded beauty. Provides intense accuracy, soft feel, smooth movement, and flawless up/down scrolling and scroller grip texture.
Amazing for FPS and RTS gamers alike. No problems with what I call "spinout." This is where you move the mouse so quickly that the it freaks and jets to the top or corner of the screen, spinning your screen out.
4/5 for features due to the slight clumsiness of the side thumb (web page back/fwd) buttons. A well-balanced mouse for any task. Still looks new, logo isn't even worn. I will be buying a 2nd one if this thing ever breaks (2 years and counting).
