I'm a gamer and game designer and needed a mouse with multiple buttons on the side (but not too many) to assign to various things. This mouse does it well, and the ability to change the DPI is really nice - especially since I prefer a very high DPI. The downside for me is I'll sometimes click one of the side buttons unintentionally since they don't require a hard click. The RGB lighting isn't distracting for me at all. As for the "HYPERX NGENUITY" software that you can use with this mouse, it's simple and does just what I need it to. No complaints with it whatsoever. If you're heavily into RBG lighting - it's very customizable in ways I didn't even think needed to exist, but they're there and awesome. Overall great mouse, would recommend for gamers and even game designers.

This is a great mouse of it's kind. Light, sturdy, and the 5 programmable side buttons are amazing. The software is very easy to set up and use imo. Be wary - this will not accommodate those with large hands.

Hyper X quality (which means its great) each button is easy to press but wont be pressing any of them on accident if you lift the mouse or move it quickly. Has the best balance of weight and buttons, usually mice with more than two side buttons tend to have weights or just generally weigh more than 70 grams. There are enough buttons on the mouse so that you can map several actions for many games. Lighting is supreme, very even and bright, can change the colors for the scroll wheel and logo. Great ergonomic feel, more suited for a pseudo-claw grip or pure claw grip (especially if you have long fingers like me), easy to pick up which is important if you play on low sensitivity. Software wise, its pretty basic, can set custom lighting and create multiple profiles for different games. The one thing that is great is the game detection software, as soon as you boot into the game that is linked with the profile, the mouse will automatically switch to that profile. Many times other programs for mice have had this problem, especially Logitech and razer, where it won't always switch over. This is not the case here. The one thing I wish the software had was a "hyper-shift or g-mode" similar to what razer and logitech have where when you press an assigned button it basically allows you to map additional actions to the buttons, so that each button essentially has two functions, on in standard mode the other in hyper-shift mode. This seems more the limitation of the software rather than the mouse so hopefully this will be added later on by Hyper X. I really like the feel of the buttons, they feel very crisp and responsive, I previously used the SteelSeries rival 500 and the buttons almost felt "mushy" in the sense I really had to press each button for them to register, however here that is not the case. Scroll feel very good, you can easily distinguish each step in the scroll, however for hardcore document scrolling not very great. Another thing is this has one of the most responsive side scroll buttons also, not a lot of pressure needed, but responsive enough that you wont be pressing it accidently.
