This mouse has a major flaw, something I've never encountered before with other mice: when the mouse is in free scroll mode (where the wheel scrolls smoothly without stopping in increments), the wheel will scroll if you just BARELY lift the mouse off your mouse pad. This is a huge problem in games which require rapid mouse movements, and great accuracy. I have the mouse wheel bound to JUMP in Portal 2; this unintended scrolling causes unintended jumping - the loose scroll wheel makes accurate portal placement and proper bunny hopping very difficult. I've lost count of the number of times I've died because the mouse decided to jump at a critical point in a game.

I could use "incremental scrolling" (where the mouse wheel scrolls in small increments), but the scroll wheel itself is very smooth, and the "resistance" is high enough that it requires a good amount of downward force to scroll the wheel. This downward force requirement sometimes activates the middle mouse-click (I have my middle mouse button bound to activate FoldersPopup, which is a great piece of free software). If I'm playing a game and the middle mouse button's function activates, it dumps me back to the desktop. I can stop this by killing FoldersPopup first, but this really shouldn't be necessary.

Overall, I really like this mouse. I have smallish hands; this mouse fits nicely. The braided cord doesn't cause any noticeable resistance, and it looks nice.

This is my favorite mouse through all time. Strongly recommend :)

I have been using this mouse for some time, the only problem i notice is that when you click it, you might accidently double clicks it. Other than that, this mouse is really good in term of gaming and other uses.

Hey! what's a great keyboard pairing for this mouse, ? that's logitech, as i like having matching pairs.

Right now I got g15 and g9x lol

Really like the look of this but one question to anyone who may have one, is it a silent clicker? I'm all for mechanical keyboards but mouse clicks really annoy me.
