Cons:Weak range5D button location

Pros:AdjustableWirelessBluetoothBattery Life
Comment:
A decent bluetooth mouse with one problem, Wi-Fi interferes with the signal. Bought this to use with my HTPC which is 10 feet away. If Wi-Fi is disabled, the mouse works fine. If enabled, the mouse is laggy, jittery at anything over 2 feet away. Further than 2 feet the mouse is unsuable, loses signal. I've tried cycling through all the different channels on my access point but didn't help. Other than that it comes with a travel case which is nice and the battery life is exceptional. The 5D button could be positioned better though. It's right where I rest my thumb and can get uncomfortable after a while since the button is not exactly ergonomic.

Cons:WILL NOT WORK OVER BLUETOOTH WITH MAC OS OR WINDOWS 7. Will only work over windows 8 via bluetooth. Usb dongle required for Mac OS or Windows 7!!!

Pros:Build quality is good. Base plate is metal and so is scroll wheel. Clicking is nice.
Comment:
I wanted to say NCIX has been exceptional throughout this ordeal. This mouse will not work using Bluetooth 4.0 over Mac OS or Windows 7. Mad Catz has been completely useless and had attempted to deny that it was there faulty design. If you visit this hidden website from Mad Catz(http://madcatz.com/qrcodes/ratm) it shows the true compatibility. The product description from Mad Catz (on their website and here on NCIX) it says the mouse is bluetooth compatible with Mac OS and Windows 7, but it is not. Mad Catz Customer Support tried to convince me that the Bluetooth 4.0 in my Retina Macbook Pro is not compatible, saying that Bluetooth 4.0 is not Bluetooth Smart Ready even though it is the same thing. I have windows 8 installed on my Mac and bluetooth did work, therefore this is not a hardware issue as Mad Catz attempted to claim. Please steer clear of this mouse unless you have Windows 8. The mouse does come with a usb dongle which does work in Mac OS and Windows 7, but then why spend the extra money to get a Bluetooth 4.0 mouse. I returned this mouse after 2 days, NCIX has been very generous and has waved the restocking and shipping, since Mad Catz has lied about this products compatibility.
