After spending over 100 dollars on two different gaming mice of reputable brands (Razor and Logitech) and having both of them break within months, I had a 'straw that broke the camel's back' type of situation and splurged on this masterpiece. Why keep spending money on new mice every couple of months when you can just get the best of the best?
Thus far I have had exactly zero issues with it. The customizability, both physical and software, is mind-blowing. Within a half hour I had tuned this thing exactly to my preferences. The ceramic feet glide effortless across my mousepad, and seem to be scratch resistant - which means the quality of the glide never degrades. The sensor of the mouse is unmatched. The sniper button, which is nicely placed right where the thumb rests, is a fantastic feature for FPS gaming. The mouse has onboard profiles, so you can save settings directly to it and take it with you for use on another computer. Speaking of that, it comes with a really nice carry-case, a tool for adjusting the resistance of the mouse wheel (yeah, you can do that, and it's awesome) and a nice little brush for brushing away dead skin and other debris from the mouse - a very nice touch indicative of a high quality product.
I decided to use the extra pinky rest piece it came with, which allows your pinky to rest on a little platform on the right side of the mouse, avoiding that annoying feeling you get from your pinky dragging on the mousepad. Another awesome touch that I didn't know I needed.
Overall, I am very impressed with this mouse and have absolutely zero buyers remorse, provided it lasts me a good long time.
Update (May 2024) below:
My original unit unfortunately broke within a couple of months - the mouse wheel came right off. However, I reached out to customer service with pictures and videos of the mouse explaining what had happened and they replaced it, no questions asked, free of charge. I have now used the new unit for much longer than the original and it has not failed in any way - I am guessing I just got unlucky with the first one.
I am still insanely impressed by this mouse. The customization and feature set seriously makes it the only mouse on the market that is 'right' for me and I can never go back.
