    In a market dominated by RGB, per-key macros, and looking like something from a sci-fi movie... this is a worthy choice for people who want to do more with their money than look fancy on a livestream. This is the mouse for a lunatic who is absolutely obsessed with revenge. Light, agile, doesn't require any Razer software to use (even if Windows pre-installs it), and the buttons are satisfying to click on. Are YOU obsessed with getting revenge on that guy in cs_dust who turned you into a joke? Are YOU obsessed with getting each hit marker in Quake with the railgun? Then FORGET buying a fancy mouse for over $80+. Use that $50 to buy some Mountain Dew that's the same color as this mouse and go on an all-nighter, and enjoy every second. This mouse is a tool to vanquish your enemies, and it does an absolutely brilliant job of it. This, THIS is a Gaming Mouse. This is a throw-back to what they used to be in the mid-2000's! Buy it.

    It's a nice mouse. We've been buying the low price Logitech wireless mice, but they seem to only last a little over a year. Thought I go back to a wired mouse, and see if it lasts longer. It only cost around $20 - $25, and it acts like you would think a mouse should act.

    Amazing only one color though. The mouse it self is great it is just it only comes in green and the customization is quite bad but if you don’t care about the color it is a amazing mouse. (Just as a point of reference, this review was left by my 14 year old middle school son)

    Had this mouse for over a year. Used it for school and gaming and it works perfectly fine. I love the clicking sound and the 2 buttons on the sides can be customized to do whatever you like.

    Classic, form fitting, lightweight, and a nice long cable! All that for $20 is really great! I’m biased because I had one long ago and now I’m returning after owning many other mice including wireless ones, however, it will always be a decent choice!

    Good wired mouse. White. The mouse is used for video game and is responsive. A bit pricey as mouse are available for lot less, so time would tell if the mouse retains its sensitivity or not.

    Good Mouse - Horrible Software (and practices)

    It does what it is supposed to do. I am not the biggest fan of it now that I picked up my Redragon but I keep this as my backup for when I'm traveling or need to troubleshoot someone else's computer. The most annoying thing is the fact that it install so much software for no reason. Literally starts installing crap as soon as you plug it in. I've never had a mouse be so intrusive. I won't ever purchase from them again but the quality and ease of use is A+ after you get passed the software crap.
