EDIT: Ive purchased this mouse twice now. While the price was great, it has stopped working in a number of ways. The first one was beginning to be unresponsive. Now this second one that Ive had for a year is not working properly. The side button is unresponsive. Also, the side panel has un-stuck so my thumb sometimes gets the weird sticky goop they used to stick it. It slides around. I use it at work and I have to say, I will look to invest in a slightly higher quality mouse now. I dont want to keep buying this every year. Honestly, this mouse made me very happy. You know when something very little makes you so happy and it brightens your whole day? This mouse will do that. I usually do a lot of research when buying products, even really insignificant products like a hairbrush or a computer mouse. I was looking for a new mouse to use at work. I wanted it to be pretty small, yet had the side buttons that allow you to go backwards or forwards on a web page. And most importantly, wireless. I looked into the different types of finger grips used with mice. I did purchase this mouse for the office, but honestly, Im thinking about buying another one for gaming. I discovered I am fingertip grip, which is true most people. (You can also be claw or palm). The sides have a nice grip, and the side buttons work very well, I use them all the time. This mouse even has the CPI button to adjust the mouse speed. Cons: I will say that I am left-handed, but I always use a mouse in my right hand, probably because thats the way most computers provide the mouse. So if you are left-handed and prefer using a mouse in your left hand, dont get this. Another con/thing to get used to is that after 8 minutes of inactivity, you must wake up your mouse . You do so by clicking, not shaking. This was a little different than Im used to, and I kind of dont like that feature because if I stepped away from my desk and then came back and was looking for the cursor, I would intuitively shake it to find it. However, if it was inactive, I would have to click and could possibly close out of an application. This has yet to happen, but I am conscious of it. A great feature of this though is that the small USB that comes with it (that people usually lose) is stored underneath (see picture). I dont have any other experiences with wireless mice that do this. Youll also see in this picture that some of the "feet" have rubbed away, but that has not affected the performance and I dont really care about that. Thanks for reading my review.
