" ...  Love this mouse and the way it fits in my hand.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Good mouse, comfortable, precise, fits my hand like a glove, I mean literally like a glove except it's more like my hand fits it like a glove. ... The Surface grey is so stylish, but not annoyingly and excessively so like Macbooks' space grey, with which the Microsoft mouse is, in spite of itself, functionally compatible.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Extra button placements are comfortable to use.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Changing between the smooth and click scroll wheel is a godsend I wish all mice had and the only thing I would change about it is the ability to reprogram the three buttons to make the middle one "back" as it feels more natural in placement and is more practical than the app switching button.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Finally a suitable replacement for my Microsoft intellimouse with forward and back buttons on opposite sides. ... The scroll wheel material, or the ribbed scroll resistance.  ...  "

" ...  I was really looking for a solid bluetooth mouse for my Surface Book 2 and was on the fence between this and the Logitech MX series, ultimately deciding on this one because I've had such positive experiences with Microsofts Intellimouse series in the past that have lasted me a decade+. ... I have a logitech G602 that feels like a plastic toy compared to this thing, though they both perform equally well as mice.  ...  "
