nice mouse

it looks a bit fat, and i cannot tell from the pics of the actual size.

i had to get my ruler out, and measure my deathadder for a comparison.... and yes - it's fat

Given how skint everyone is these days we may see more company's taking this approach. Good honest value. My old Razer died a month back, I looked and looked but just couldn't afford something nice. I ended up with some Chinese import off eBay not bad but no where near good either! This mouse would fit the bill right now.

Nice Review,

I just bought this mouse yesterday and it arrived earlier tonight at teatime. Upon seeing the mouse I thought it looked tiny compared to the 4.8 inch Gigabyte M6900 it is replacing, in fact I didnt beleave it was its advertised 4.2 inches and had to measure it

I have been playing BF3 with it for a couple of hours and it does seem a good mouse but the 2000 DPI feels a bit too slow to me and the 2 lower DPI speeds are really slow to the point of been unusable for me ( even too slow for sniping)

As I mensioned the mouse is tiny (in length) and as I have big hands it isnt really right for me but if you tend to hold your mouse with your finger tips rather than lay your hand down flat on the mouse then you should get on fine with it, that said though I didnt have any real problems playing and aiming with the mouse and pretty much got on fine with it

Oh and yes its fat

Thanks for the review Bryan, looks like to perfect mouse to replace my work laptop one...

The generic one I use now just isn't up to the task of working in audio software.

Which reminds me , do you know if it actually works on OS X?

There is no software at all, just Plug n Play.

Just bought this mouse as I have been looking for a dedicated claw grip mouse for AGES but didn't want to fork out the cash for a G9. I am using it with a Boogie XL pad and this mouse is the best purchase I have ever made.

The DPI settings are more than enough and I only use the 1000DPI setting, sometimes going down to the lowest one for sniping. I am a low sens gamer and the DPI settings are perfect. It is so small and light that I sometimes don't even feel I am using it.

The most important thing to me is lift off distance and with the latest firmware version 55 this mouse has the lowest LOD I have ever used, even better than my previous Logitech G1, which was also a great mouse.

To sum up, if you are a claw/fingertip gamer looking for a light mouse with some DPI settings, a few extra side buttons and low Lift off distance then you cannot beat this mouse, I got it for 17 quid for crying out loud! It is a great move by CM to target this part of the market, good job!
