    Duration of ownership: 2 Days

    Strengths: It's big enough for my over sized handYou can change the weight of the mouse very easilyFive different sensitivity sets that you can enable from the mouseCloth around cordSide button is big

    Weaknesses:Scroll wheel could be smaller and easier to roll.Wired.Buttons are as easy to push as Razer's mouses.

    Overall Evaluation: I got this mouse because the Copperhead Razor was just to small, and it didn't have a palm based design. It's a really great mouse if you've got big hands, or like to have your palm resting on your mouse. I've had it for few months now and I've got no complaints.

    Strengths: Very high speed, and ALOT of feeling for the right handed gamers.

    Weaknesses:none, one of the best mouses i've used, and i think there will be no weaknesses whats so ever.

    Overall Evaluation: Overall, this mouse is kinda pricey but, believe me when i say this, IT IS SO WORTH IT, hey if i knew what this 4 inch device could do for me hell i would buy it for 200$. There is no mouse out there that can over top this. not even the g7 well anyways i am not really a big fan of wireless mouses. but overall the best mouse I've ever used.

    Strengths: Responsiveness, non-slip grip, on-the-fly sensitivity control, slick feet for smooth action, adjustable weight (I used all of the 4.5 Gram weights. I like it heavy). Nylon-wrapped cord.

    Weaknesses:Could be bigger. I have huge hands, and I expected this to be large, but it's average width. Mouse wheel sticks up far too tall, not good for quick weapon switching.

    Overall Evaluation: I've heard plenty about how well it tracks, but I am finding it to be about the same as my optical mouse. Not as pinpoint as I was hoping it would be. I guess that's to be expected, though, as it must have cap depending on screen resolution (my LCD monitor maxes at 1280x1024). I was also informed through several reviews that is is comfortable for long use, but I am finding this to be not true in my case. It's about the same size in width and height compared to my older Microsoft optical mouse.I have also heard that the mouse wheel is hard to click, but I found it to click perfectly (although I may have stronger hands than most, I guess, or else I lucked out and got a softer one). I may be expecting too much from a 45 dollar mouse. I will try my luck with an MX Revolution, as that one seems to be a monster in size.Another problem I found is that you have to lift the mouse more than an inch off of the pad for it to stop tracking. This proves to be a very big problem during gameplay, especially during an intense firefight. I have been limited to sniping because of the tracking problem, which makes gaming pretty boring with this thing.Bottom line, this mouse isn't intended for gaming, regardless of what the manufacturer thinks. I have found that optical seems to be the better choice, due to the tracking problems.

    Strengths: slides very smoothly and in the middle of a game i could switch the dpi settings so, in bf2 i use the 400 dpi for sniping and 800 and 2000 in viecles so that i won't have to lift my hand off the desk

    Weaknesses:none, nada

    Overall Evaluation: the bomb, i have never had a mouse this smooth, plus works on my wooden desk with out a mouse pad!!!!, my previous mouse reeks compaired to this 1

    Duration of ownership: 8 Days

    Strengths: Perfect feel, smooth movement, programmable buttons, 400-2000dpi, corded usb for extreme speed and reliability.

    Weaknesses:only on color scheme...

    Overall Evaluation: I'm glad that i bought this mouse. Great feel perfect response. What more could you ask for. The side tilt makes this mouse really helpful for browsing and ingame necessities. Also the weight cartridge is the first of it's kind really adding the gamer touch.The best part in my opinion is the cable...why? because even if you have bluetooth you dont want to have your mouse sitting on a charger and what happens when your battery dies?? Not only that but the dpi is much higher because of it. The data transfer is just what you need to keep this mouse ahead of the others.
