 My Mouse has stopped working! July 6, 2010

I ordered this mouse for my son 12 year old son for Christmas, as he is a huge WOW fan. Because of the high cost he understood that it would mean it would be one of only a couple of presents he would have. He was so keen to get it though that he didn't mind.
He was very excited to open it on Christmas morning and used it whenever he was allowed to play. However, just a few months after chirstmas I found that he was back to using his original mouse. When I queried why he wasn't using his WOW mouse, he replied that it was because it had stopped working 'quite a while ago'. He hadn't told me sooner because he knew it had cost a lot of money and didn't want me to be upset.
I am very angry that something so expensive and designed for a specific purpose should stop working so soon, and very disappointed for my son. After reading all of the negative reviews, I now don't think that it should continue to be sold if it's not capable for doing the job it was designed for for more than a few months. The manufacturer should recall them, give refunds and not sell them again until they have sorted out the durability problem!

I ordered one each for myself and my partner and the day after they arrived we are sending them back! The mouse is too big, even for my partner whose hands are much bigger than mine and we have both experienced cramping because of it. Also we were under the impression that the 15 mouse buttons could be completely customised to do pretty much anything in-game, but whatever we tried it didn't work or caused a conflict with its default profile. Very disappointed in this product and would urge friends and family thinking of buying one to steer well clear!

This mouse is outstanding, a definite must have for all WOW players
i have had no problems with mine as of yet and the build quality is really good unlike what some other reviews state, i wasnt sure about the price as it is quite steep for a mouse, but after recieving delivery i am glad i bought it.
The software the mouse comes with works fine and is very easy to use, makes playing WOW so much easier, if you play WOW alot i would recommend not even hesitating purchasing this mouse its in a league of its own.
Thanks Amazon Fantastic mouse
great item helping you to be a better player January 14, 2010

I got this mouse as a Christmas present to my husband, we both play WoW. I secretly hoped that he won't like it and I will be able to get it as unwanted preent. Unfortunately, he likes the mouse and is a better gamer now. It takes some time to get used it using the mouse though as it is a bit bigger than ordinary ones. My husband sees the only fault in it - it's not wireless. Other than that, great thing for WoW enthusiasts
 Has it's problems but ultimately very good December 12, 2009

This mouse has had a lot of previous bad press. The build quality on original release wasn't amazing and the first one of these I bought (not from here) had it's share of issues (i'll come back to it) the second was purchased for a friend, (ok girlfriends brother) is used daily and has been fine so I belive the initial quality issues are now solved.
So, onto the review proper.
I've defended this mouse in several places where discussion about it has cropped up. The feel of it can initially be described as a little flimsy. It has however survived almost a full year without much in the way of issue. Mine travels with me monthly to Greece from the UK in a loose zipped pocket of a bag, is used for probably over 15 hrs a week on average and after some initial teething issues is working a charm.
The extra buttons are all rather well placed and have the right feel to them. Left, right (and the smaller left + right) are all fairly sharp and springy, the thumbpad on the side is a little less delicate for use with a generally less dexterous thumb and the top buttons take the right amount of pressure to not be hit by mistake (even with a ring on the middle finger). The 2 way trigger button on the side (far side so not visible in the pic) is in the right place for the ring finger to push it (I have average sized hands, this probably isn't a mouse for those with small hands) and the general feel is pretty good (once the initial flimsy feel passes, after adapting a little from a VERY high end mouse this now feels fine).
The software it comes with can at best be descibed as "ok" and it definitely has it's flaws. The new update to allow in-game binding of macro's etc directly to the mouse is a big improvement but with a little thought it was already possible to work around (bind to numpad keys in the software THEN use it's buttons to bind in game).
If anyone still has one of these with the sticky/squeaky buttons issue (part of the inital build quality failures):
Get a finger with a longer finger-nail.
Slide it down the front edge of the smaller left/right button on whichever side you are having issues.
Hook the nail under the bottom of the button and pull it back away from the cable, it doesn't need MASSES of force but a fair tug.
You should be fixed.
To make it clear this was only needed on mine purchased around Jan 09, one bought around may time has been perfectly fine.
