What sets this mouse apart from any other I have is the size. A lot of people say it’s too narrow. It is narrower than any other I’ve tried but not so narrow as to be dismissed, it’s just different. Like it’s looks. I enjoy the differences between the mice I own so to me it’s a plus. My hand is 7” from tip of middle finger to base of palm & my palm is 3” wide. I wouldn’t recommend it for bigger hands. It has a very comfortable shape with a nice thumb rest. The buttons are some of the best placed I’ve tried. The forward & back buttons can be depressed or just toggled up with an easy movement - very nice innovation. Same for the perfectly placed “sniper” button. All can be programmed in the easy to figure out software along with the underwhelming rgb lighting. It’s ok, not special. DPI indicator lights are always a plus. My only complaint is I prefer the M1 & M2 switches to require a bit more pressure to activate. I’ve inadvertently clicked a few times but I do with other mice also. All in all I can recommend this mouse to someone with medium to small hands especially at the EVGA member discount price or the even better sale at Best Buy.

excellent gaming mouse with selectable dpi and the ability to set different profiles. Has a sniper button and has custom weights you can put in to control the feel that you want. Perfect in every way

This was one of my first gaming mice that I spent more than $50 on. While, yes, any mouse CAN be used for gaming, having a gaming mouse is a world of difference. I particularly have gotten a lot of joy out of using the SNIPER SPEED button that is located by the thumb on the mouse; which has improved my long distance scoring. The various DPI speeds allows me to change up when i need to with the click of a button. I haven't added the weights to my mouse yet, but this is my first gaming mouse and i've not had the chance to use that feature.
