Pros & Cons
Pros
This mouse is very comfortable to use for long periods of time, it has a mat finish and the sides almost have a rubberised feel, this really helps with grip. Combined with the programmable *, this is amazing for those who consider themselves ambidextr... Read More

Shipping
The speed can be set to anything between painfully slow and whizzingly fast, so everyone should be able to find a speed that suits them.
