    "Very good gaming toy"

    by yourmomsbox on November 27, 2007

    Pros: accessories and customization

    Cons: lack of software

    Summary: Very good gaming mouse, I have used it with a few FPS and like what I see so far. I have large hands so the mouse was very comfortable to me ( I have seen some reviews that people complained about this ) My wife ( small hands ) used the mouse and liked the features that were available to her for navigating the web, nothing was ever said about the size of the mouse.
    The only thing I have issue with, and i feel Microsoft will address in further updates is, a lack of software and gaming profiles ( no software is included. you must download the driver from Microsoft ) but all and all I'm impressed with the functions, especially the " DPI on the fly " function that lets you switch from Three preset, settings ( default is 2000, 800 and 400, but they are customizable ) nothing like playing Battlefield 2 and switching to 2000 dpi and being able to spin the tank turant around at light speed. And this sure beats the heck out of the wireless mouse I was using that would inevitably need its batteries changed right in the middle of a game. for gaming USB is the only way to go, and the case keeps the wire nice and tidy for you....price is the only other issue I have with this, but do like i did, and hide the bill from your wife and or girlfriend.
