    I bought this mouse as a replacement for my 6 year old wireless mouse, and all I can say is … Wow. What an improvement.

    Size is perfect for me, I don’t really know where the criticism about its size comes from, there’s a bazillion smaller mice out there, if I want a small one, I can go get one. As for scroll wheel, might it feel slippery to the reviewer as his hands are slightly smaller? To me it feels good.

    Criticism? Hmmmmm. Can’t really think of anything else I’d like to add. It could keep my coffee mug warm?

    Main driver for me getting this mouse is the fact that I’ve just upped my game in an MMORPG as I’ve joined a top-tier guild. Boy, was it a smart purchase.

    I’ve tried the best mice on the market and I can tell this is the best one.

    Great precision, 4000 dpi and 75G aceleration (try to find another one cole to that 75G… there’s no one).

    Wire/Wireless solution is simply perfect.

    I’m using it wirless at 4000 dpi in CoD 4 and 5, TF2 and CoH, and the response is always perfect.

    I tried the first sidewinder mouse that Microsoft came out with and it was to flat and small for my hands. This one is very good, it fits very nice and the buttons are all within easy and fast reach. I don’t have any problem with the scroll wheel, not slippery at all. I like how easy it is to customize how it performs. It is cool how quick you can connect the cord.
