  • Summary: If you are even somewhat a serious gamer you will appreciate and come to love this mouse.
  • Comment: Our family has five WoW accounts mom, dad and each of the kids. This is our third WoW mouse for the third kid. We have only ever had an issue with one that was bad right out of the box and the manufacturer gladly swapped it out free of charge. One has been Raiding and PvPing since we saw it on BlizzCon, with a spotless service record. If you can't get the easy download to take there is a problem with your security settings not the mouse software. Takes all macros and has so many settings it may be difficult for some of the less computer adept players to figure out beyond action bar settings. Love it have tried Lazer and some of the expensive 18 button mouse's but their buttons are harder to reach and do not allow some macros and ui's to work with their programming. THIS MOUSE WAS MADE JUST FOR WoW AND PERFORMS LIKE A TRUE "HERO". Don't bother with another brand just go with this one.

  • Summary: Good, but not for the average player.
  • Comment: If you play a game for PC and want a gaming Mouse, you have to ask your self, how are you as a gamer? If your answer is a hardcore gamer and your hands are on point, then this is a good mouse to look at. With the amount of buttons, its easy to set up. the only problem ive found is some times the game (WoW) doesnt see that ur mouse is on and you have to mess with it a few times till it understands it. button lay out is nice and only 2 buttons are kind of hard to hit if you dont have a somewhat average hand. its a bit odd to get used to but it grows on you.

  • Summary: Over priced & Over hyped
  • Comment: I went to best buy expecting to pick up a Logitech G500 and instead was dazzled by the WoW mouse. It was priced 30$ more and had more buttons but a lower DPI setting. The lights on it, look great when the software actually works and lets you change them. As of 4/28/2010 Windows 7 has given me compatibility issues with the latest mouse software. A lot of WoW addons let you program different spells to mouse keys, the thing is the WoW mouse only has 5 Windows Buttons, 15 buttons and only 5 can be used by certain add ons.

    I had wrist fatigue after 30 min of using it, and it feels too light. Again the ability to make it shine different lights is nice, but for 100$ I can't keep it. I'll give the G500 a try next.

  • Summary: Good design, poor quality
  • Comment: I have played WoW for the past 4 years, and I have used this mouse for approx. 1 year.

    There are a lot of things to like about this mouse. Most of the buttons are arranged in a very useful manner. The two additional buttons next to the mouse wheel are a fantastic feature, and I hope other mice in the future have them. The buttons on the left side of the mouse are also very useful. The buttons on the right side of the mouse I have never used, and are fairly uncomfortable to use.

    The design is certainly cool, and the pulsating LED is neat if you like that sort of thing. Since the updates, the functionality in game is very easy and smooth. Creating individual profiles via the software isn't really necessary, but you can if you so choose.

    The weight of the mouse is a little lite, but certainly within a reasonable limit. If you have slightly larger than average hands, the wings on the side of the mouse do take some getting used to, and can be uncomfortable for awhile.

    The reason this mouse is hard to recommend, is it simply is NOT DURABLE. The grey coating began coming off where my fingers rest on the main buttons almost immediately, and one of the inside mouse wheel buttons became loose and difficult to use after about four months of regular use.

    Above average mouse, good design aspects, poor durability. The next generation of this mouse might be great. This one isn't.

  • Summary: Don't Buy
  • Comment: Lets start with the upside - the configuration program works and is nice.
    The "Wings" of the mouse allow you to comfortly slide the mouse with out your hand resting on the table.

    Now lets go back to reality - this mouse sucks, and it is extremely expensive.
    1. The left mouse click surface squeaks whenever it is pressed - this is extremely annoying and I had to stick a whole bunch of things (staples, screwdrivers, knifes) to try to realign whatever was in there that made the noise. Right now it's gone, but it keeps coming back.
    2. Several of the buttons don't work any more, like the "back" button (the hand facing press the four way button by the thumb.
    3. Several button are impossible to reach and are totally useless - you still pay for them - specifically, the pinky buttons.
    4. the mouse keeps losing the connection to the computer and has to be plugged in and out.
