I owned the last 2 models for this mouse and it's the best mouse on the market for the right hand users. Too bad that they didn't create a version for left hand users

For the amount of time i've had this mouse it has done great. the only problem i have is the tilt wheel can't be programmed and the scrolling is a little too sensative.Other then those its a great mouse. battery life is on average 6 months per two AA batteries, according to almost every official review. This mouse has served me well so far. the two side buttons are great for gaming. This mouse also fits well into my hands. mind you, if you have very small hands it might be too big for you.

Upon first use I noticed the mouse literally drags across my mouse pad. The design is nice but not super functional, especially for games: The smooth scrolling wheel mouse is nice for webpages, but almost impossible to "toggle" items with during gameplay.BIGGEST PROBLEM: In no longer left clicks! I have to click the left button 2-3 times to open things. There's no dust or anything blocking the button so I think its just cheap. I switched back to my oldschool Intellimouse in the meantime, it's not as comfortable but at least it clicks when I want it to.

Microsoft Explorer line of mine have been some of the best. This newer one features the new tilt wheel tech, which is a neat feature. Tho I don't really like the new feel to it, the older ones were great. But thats a personal preferance. Some like MS's new style, some like Logitechs new or old stle.What sucks is MS's new drivers, version 4 was good, then they release 5.. Which is crap, it removes many of 4's features, adds some different color scheme and thats it.. A step backwards?!Still a nice mouse tho.
