Not a bad mouse, but consider the following (2008-12-02)
Here is my mini review of high end mice I've tried recently.

Ideazon Reaper Edge Gaming Mouse - 3200 DPI (3200 DPI, 6 buttons): It's a decent mouse except for the side buttons. The bottom side button is under a nub that is a bit annoying to reach in the middle of a first person shooter fight. The top side button is a little nicer to reach and decent to use for knocking zombies off yourself in L4D. The wheel is annoying since sometimes as you scroll it seems to click without putting much pressure on it (which is annoying if you have something bound to MOUSE3 and you just wanted to scroll the mouse wheel). Also, it would have been nice to have two DPI buttons instead of the one (easier to "go to sniper mode"/"go to regular mode"). Currently the DPI button toggles between 5 different DPI levels one at a time and there isn't a way just to use less than that (I'd prefer just two for the above scenario...). I wouldn't recommend this mouse in it's current form.

Razer Lachesis 4000 dpi Laser Gaming Mous--Banshee Blue (4000 DPI, 9 buttons): This is the first mouse that gave me actual pain my my fingers and palm after just a couple of hours use and it has just about the worst ergonomics of any mouse I've ever used. The side buttons are in a very inconvinient location. In first person shooters you'll constantly be accidentally clicking either side's buttons since they're in the area where you grip the mouse (they're designed so you need to put "extra" pressure in the grip to click them). The laser itself is pretty decent at 4000 DPI, but it is placed in the middle of the mouse instead of closer to the front, so you basically need to move the whole mouse to aim instead of the regular first person shooter "tilting the front of the mouse" aiming. Be sure to go to their web site and use the updated drivers and firmware or you'll see a lot of "mouse jumping" problems even when you're not touching the mouse. Also I noticed the mouse buttons would register as "up" as I was turning sometimes with the mouse button down (such as a Heavy in TF2 spinning his gun using the side button, which is annoying as heck). There is also no on-mouse DPI display so there's no way to know which DPI setting you're at (one of the five DPI settings you're forced into). Anyone had any good experience with this mouse?

Logitech G9 Laser Mouse (3200 DPI, 7 buttons, weights, two grip types): I used this mouse for a bit less than a year and it is by far my favorite mouse. One problem is the connector between the mouse and cord eventually went bad and then the mouse had connection issues (Google this for more information). Other than that, it has by far the best tracking and button location of any mouse I've used. I like that the DPI switching is under the left mouse button and it is easy to tell what DPI level I currently am at. Highly recommended!

Logitech 931375-0403 G7 Laser Cordless Mouse Black (2000 DPI), Logitech NEW G5 Laser Mouse (2000 DPI) and Logitech MX518 Gaming Optical Mouse - Metal (1800 DPI): If you can't afford the G9, the models to the left are similarly good. I've used and like them, but they all had tracking accuracy loss over time and needed to be replaced (generally after about 6 to 8 months of every day gaming 4+ hours a day). None of the older models have the high 3200 DPI laser, but the G5/G7 have switchable DPI levels and generally feel good and are ergonomically nice for using over long periods of time.

OCZ OCZMSDMXD Dominatrix Laser Gaming Mouse/MSI GS-501/Cyber Snipa Stinger (3200 DPI, 7 buttons, weights): Very good for the price (one of the cheapest high end gaming grade mice). The button locations are good and so is the feel of the mouse. The default drivers that come with the mouse don't work with games well. You'll have to download the newer ones from their web site and do some special settings for your games to register the side buttons as MOUSE4 and MOUSE5. Highly recommended (drivers could use some work though).

As with any mousing, be sure to have a good quality mouse pad that doesn't need to be replaced (I used to replace those 3M Precise mouse pads about every month heh). I've been using a fUnc sUrface 1030, but there are a lot of newer ones out there now. Just be sure it's something you can soap wash and you should be good to go (no foamy or cloth pads).

This is, to put it simply, a great mouse. (2008-10-19)
I'm not here to really say too much, just thought I would leave a review. Anyone interested in buying this mouse definitely should there are more than enough customizable buttons you can program, and the instant dpi button makes things easy for whatever game you may use this for. I like a big fat mouse that fits nicely into the hand, this mouse sure take the cake, the buttons are slick so cleaning is a snap and it just works very well. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that enjoys MMORPG's or really any type of computer game.

Quite Impressed. (2008-09-23)
This mouse is definatly worth a look. Fully customizable in every aspect that you could want. Five different preset levels for quick DPI adjustments in-game (must have for FPS games). Both buttons 5 and 6 are located on one side (left) of the mouse and are easier to reach than some mice that put one on each side. Tracks very well even without a mousepad; I've had it on about 5 different surfaces including a wood desk and even glass with no issues. As noted it does have a cord, but the mouse is heavy enough to not hamper movement in the slightest. This just means no batteries or a charger, or wireless interference from something else, and this is a very good thing in my book.

Top rate mouse, whether you are serching the web or doing fast reaction gaming, it's a pleasure to use. A++

Great quality laser mouse (2008-07-18)
Pros: Big. 5 Buttons. DPI selection button. Perfect for Gaming.
Cons: Not wireless. May be too big for some.

It has all the DPI options you could want. I wanted a large mouse and this feels like a ham sandwich in your hand. I love the on-the-fly DPI switch button, which comes in handy when trying to snipe in a FPS.

The mesh aesthetic is just OK. I don't love it, nor do I hate it. I bought in at the Gold Box Price of $40 and it has been a fantastic purchase.

Amazing mouse (2008-07-11)
Nothing really to say. The paper specs are amazing, but the mouse is even better when using it. Great feel and handle also.A great mouse that will last a long time. Don't be scared about buying from this non brand name company. If you want a great mouse buy this.
