Deciding whether the Dream Machines DM2 Supreme is for you is pretty straightforward. Anybody valuing good side buttons should look elsewhere. The DM2 Supreme has some of the worst side buttons I've seen on a mouse so far, even edging out the Zowie EC2-A in this regard. Other than that, there really isn't much wrong with the DM2 Supreme. I've been able to measure a minor sensor delay, but it's small enough to where I wouldn't worry about it much. Additionally, the coating is highly susceptible to permanent finger marks—no degree of cleaning or taking care of gear will be able to prevent this from happening.

Now that the bad stuff is out of the way, we can move on to the good things. The DM2 Supreme has a fairly unique shape that is rather difficult to find elsewhere. Those fond of this particular shape will have a hard time finding any other mouse that emulates this kind of large right-handed ergonomic palm grip shape, especially with the specifications of the DM2 Supreme. Although the DM2 Supreme is priced at only $29.99, it features the PMW3389 sensor, which is usually only found on much more expensive mice. The overall build is solid; the Huano switches for the main buttons provide a nice and snappy click response, and the scroll wheel is of good quality as well. Furthermore, click latency is surprisingly low. I have no complaints about the stock mouse feet, and the inclusion of a second set of replacement feet is always a nice thing to see. Lastly, the software works without issue. RGB lighting is kinda basic, though.

To sum it up: If you can deal with the side buttons and are into this specific shape, there really isn't much competition for the Dream Machines DM2 Supreme. Since the price is very competitive as well, I'm happy to give the DM2 Supreme both the Recommended and Budget awards.
