fwiw i was a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 1.1a fanatic for over a decade.... but this mouse has replaced it as my daily driver. It's a great mouse. In for 1 just to have a backup.

I don't game but I have big hands and hate my current wireless mouse. Would this be a sufficient replacement for general use? Bonus I can keep my wireless mouse in my backpack for traveling so I won't forget it.

Actually just got one of these a couple weeks ago (at this price fortunately) to replace an EVGA x17 that fell victim to a ridiculous mouse wheel defect and which was not worth the cost of RMA shipping for a warranty replacement. It works as well as any mouse should, so I'm liking it so far. It's silly, but I like that you can different colors in three separate zones. The software seems easier to use than the EVGA one too.

In for 1. Heads up that estimated delivery is June 9. This was one of the first products to be listed under NVIDIA Reflex Compatible Mice

I've had one of these for a couple years. I don't game; I just use it as a regular mouse.

Pros-

• Unlike a lot of mice (looking at you, all but the MX Logitechs), the middle-click/scroll wheel button has a good click action, as does the wheel itself, with nice detents.

• It has on-board memory, so you can turn down/off the RGB, or set it to something less flashy, and if you don't care to assign functions or macros to the extra side buttons, don't need to load the software drivers at all; it stores settings on-board and will remember them. The three standard top buttons should function as expected with stock OS drivers, so all that's missing by not using the Engine software are the side button assignments, and macros.

• There is Mac driver software available, so those users aren't left out in the cold, as is common.

Cons-

• It's decently solid, but not going to win any prizes for robust build quality. Expect it to show wear, like shiny spots where you grip most often, and if you dig into it with your nails, the outlet layers of the plastic may flake off and expose the white underneath.

I paid closer to the usual $30 street price for it and have no regrets, because the middle-clock is very important to me, and it was very hard finding a mouse with the right size/shape and combo of traits.

For $14, you could do much worse. I liked it enough to buy the wireless version on sale as a spare, though it is said to eat batteries, and its RGB is confined to the scroll button (which some may prefer). I'll find out when it is pressed into service. But if I hadn't, I'd consider getting another wired one as a spare.

I paid $30 for one of these when it first came out, and even that was a great price for it in my opinion. The sensor isn't top of the line, but the build quality was decent and I liked the shape. $14 is a no-brainer.

Yes absolutely, I use one for work every day. I often click the right click accedently for whatever reason. It might be a me thing or the way my hand sits on it (I would say normal size hands, not big not small) my right finger wants to rest on it. It works great however

Evga mice have been trash for years, I got 6 about three years ago all but one had that issue. Absolute garbage tier. Stay away from evga peripherals.

I got the EVGA z15 keyboard for $30 when it was on sale. Had it for a year and no issues and i love the keyboard. I guess the mice aren't that good tho
