good for a basic mouse

Strengths: optical, feels good in your hand

Weakness: scroll wheel is kinda loose feeling, but that's not necessarily a weakness. only 400 DPI, so on higher resolutions you deal with a slower-moving pointer. no extras (for people who want them).

I've had this baby for a good long while, and it has not disappointed me at all. The shape fits your hand beautifully - it's very comfortable to use.
One of the first things I noticed when I got it out of the package was the scroll wheel. Compared to mice with similar wheels (that rotate in increments), this one moves very easily. Give it hardly a touch and it goes. But then you think about it, and realize that less resistance means it takes less effort. It may just take a little getting used to, but it's hardly a fault at all.

For anyone who need to make very precise movements quickly, this mouse is not much different than any other as far as the ability to move the mouse very slightly. To remove some of that friction between the mouse and the pad, I'd recommend some mouse pad wax. Makes it really slick.

good product

Strengths: comfortable in use, optic, the cable is long enough

Weakness: the cable is a lil bit inflexible

first days it was unusual, because of the scrolling wheel. It rolls too easy, much easier than other mice. And now it is fine. I am satisfied with my purchase.
