Many appreciate the button placement, decent weight, and the value it offers for the price. However, some with larger hands find the mouse slightly small, and a few feel the software could be improved.

    The mouse is filled with creativity and culture from the gaming community, Its actually one of my favorite mouse’s I’ve ever tried, But if there was more games to use the buttons on the side then I’ll like it tons more. Also, The mouse speed feature is one of the coolest ideas in a mouse I’ve ever seen! Some unthinkable ideas come from this mouse.

    Overall was a decent mouse, it's just the games I was requiring it for, the mouse click response time wasn't on par. Also, the mouse buttons themselves were harder to click to push on this than most other gaming mouse. If you're looking for just a decent starter mouse this is a viable option, otherwise if you need a heavier duty input time (faster clicks), id shop for a different mouse.
