    I've had one for about 3 months now. Definitely not good for hard mousepads as it'll really scratch them up. A couple of the buttons (hindmost button on the left side and the button south of the mouse wheel) are too inconveniently reached to be good for gaming. The thing works, at least, but it's absolutely not worth the price.

    This was a mouse with a cord and I thought it was cordless. I did not open and use the mouse but exchanged it for another one from Best Buy and she’s working nicely
