" ... best mouse there is! ... "
" ... Best mouse ever . ... "
" ... My husband on the other hand was loathed to spend any kind of money on a decent mouse. ... "
" ... Everything is very customizable from the length of the mouse to its width and weight. ... There are a bunch of independent RGB lights which are very customizable through the mouse's application, you can set up multiple profiles and macros and it keeps them in memory, so you'll be able to use them on any computer, everything is just perfect. ... The customizability of the ergonomics means that this mouse can fit into the hand of anyone and it can serve as both a gaming and a working mouse, it's just the ultimate mouse. ... I really recommend this mouse if you can get one at an affordable price (100 bucks or so), since the company Mad Catz went bankrupt, it's not always easy to get their products, but if you can, I definitely recommend it. ...

" ... It is smooth and comfortable. ... "
" ... It also comes with multiple palm rests and pinkie rests, though only one of the pinkie rests actually allows you to rest it on there. ... The customizability of the ergonomics means that this mouse can fit into the hand of anyone and it can serve as both a gaming and a working mouse, it's just the ultimate mouse. ... "
" ... Fits comfortably in my hand and has many buttons that are placed nicely to assign hot keys to for gaming. ... "
" ... Nice feeling on the hand. ... "
" ... 3, as despite it's simplicity it was very comfortable and I certainly technolusted for the aesthetic. ... It came with 3 separate adjustable palm rests, including the factory default. ... The third palm rest (my preference) is similar to the default but is a textured grip variant. ... It also came with three pinky rests. ... I like the idea of this, and can see why some may prefer it, but for me, I've grown accustom to having my pinky brush the mousepad's surface. ... The weights, much like in the G502, won't change the overall feel drastically. ... "
" ... fits my hand so much better. ... "
" ... It has a soft feel too it and is more balanced. ... "
" ... Having small hands (big palm and short fingers), its shape, length and weight are just perfect. ... "

" ... Many different functions available for buttons. ... "
" ... The thumb rest is adjustable both forward and back to give you additional control over where your thumb aligns with the forward/back buttons, and features a button that by default lowers DPI on the fly when pressed. ... The buttons are nice and responsive, however I actually prefer the G502's free will click mechanism, which serves as a toggle to have the wheel scroll freely without restriction or locking it into segmented turns. ... 9 features a DPI switch control right behind the scroll wheel. ... For one, I like my secondary scroll to control the volume. ... "
" ... - Changing profiles is easy but you'll never hit the rocker buttons by mistake ... - The sniper button (a red round button on the forward part of the thumb rest) allows you to switch to a dpi you specify, default is 100 dpi. ... - Change to any 4 profiles with a simple click. ... "
" ... The customization is amazing and the program for assigning buttons is very easy to use. ... "
" ... Very nicely built on an aluminum chassis with lots of buttons and complete programmability of each button. ... I particularly love the little thumb scroll wheel as I've programmed it to scroll through targets. ... "
