This mouse could have been one of the greats were it not for a couple small issues. The ergonomics are superb, the feel is great, and button placement is close to perfect for this reviewer's hands. The major issue with this mouse is the scroll wheel. Its feedback just isn't adequate, and its actuation force for both its push- and scroll function is somewhat random. Everything else on this mouse performs nearly as well as on the much higher priced Mionix Naos, which is quite a feat.
The driver suite does everything you want it to do and more. Stylistic choices are always debatable, but it is a generally well-functioning suite that is easy to navigate. The fact that you get a usable bundle is a nice touch, since you usually only get a manual I doubt anyone uses.
Priced at €59, it is a full €30 cheaper than the Mionix Naos featuring the same sensor. If you do not play competitively, this mouse is probably more than good enough since its bang-for-the-buck ratio is similar to Mionix's offerings; that is, if you do not mind its slightly annoying scroll wheel.
