I just wanted to add a comment about the size of this mouse...the writer is correct regarding the fact that it is slimmer than other gaming mice. But that can also be advantage...I'm a gal gamer, and very small (Five feet exactly) Thus, I have little hands. A lot of gaming mice and other peripherals often are uncomfortable for me to use.

That said, the side buttons are actually both very easy for me to reach, while the logitech laser mouse was more difficult - I felt that I was "stretching" to reach the buttons. True, it would be nice to be able to set the precision booster to whatever I wanted, but hopefully that will be corrected with a software update, and I honestly haven't had any problems with it.

So, if you're a gal gamer or just have smaller hands, you might want to give this one a try. It's the first gamer-specific mouse I've bought simply because it's the first one that actually fit my little hand.

thanks for your comment! my hands are obviously too large for this mouse, but smaller-handed fraggers will definitely find it to be a better fit. but as i stated, serious fraggers usually test fit mice before they purchase them.

in my opinion, regardless of the mouse size, i found the fit and finish of this mouse of lesser quality in comparison to the logitech models.

thanks for checking out the review!

. I can't seem to turn off the magnifier once it's on without shutting my computer down, what the f*ck gives here?

Try re-installing the mouse drivers/software?

The answer is maddeningly simple -- the trick is to click the button very quickly; this prevents the popup that shows how to enlarge the magnifier screen and/or font.

Excellent mouse I find the fit just right but I tend to use my finger tips for gaming, a relic from when mouse sensitivity wasn't all that sensitive. Anyway despite age of my mouse and everything I've put it through it truly surprised me this week, my kids spilled Coke all over it (thankfully missing my keyboard). I thought it was done Coke+electronics is especially bad with the high sugar content. The buttons were nearly glued down when I had unplugged it so I wasn't expecting much and as expected there was almost no response. I was just about to unplug it and head to the store to buy a new one when suddenly the crisp, solid clicks that I'd always felt with the mouse resumed. Truly amazing, after some searching I found that this mouse is self-cleaning, literally cleaning the crap off the contacts with every click. Truly the best mouse I've ever owned
