Posted February 6, 2014 To start I have had this mouse for around 3 months. Second, a disclaimer: this is the first gaming mouse I have used, I have used a few since, but not for over an hour each.BUILD QUALITY 7/10It is mostly good, but the foam that holds the weights in place comes out easyly when you pull out weights, but most people don't do that very often.DESIGN 8/10It looks good, but the sides are a glossy black plastic and attract fingerprints VERY easyly which is a problem for me because my hands sweat and make it look bad. The main top area is a nice almost soft touch plastic. It has a light up scroll wheel, and logo on the back. The scroll wheel is always a blue, but the logo is customizable to whatever color you want.COMFORT 10/10When I fist held this mouse, it was shocking how comfterble it was, I have not held a mouse that has come even close! Now when I hold it, it feel I like it was custom made for me. I used a deathadder, and it was ok, but not quite as good as this. I can not explain with words how comfortable this is.BUTTONS 10/10The buttons on this are great, I just use the 3 on the left side. They are completely customizable to macros, or even switching windows. There is a profile button on the bottom for people who share a mouse (like me) or want different buttons for work and play.VALUE 10/10For all it brings, it is an insane value. It is around $40 right now, but I got it when it was at $35.OVERALL 9/10 or 45/50I would recommend this to anybody that doesn't have 3 780s or so. For under $50, it is incredible. If you want to buy this mouse now, here is the link for amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Programmable-Buttons-Cartridges-Switches/dp/B00AAQRNQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391707836&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+8000 how overpriced is alienware? 2.0 htc one m8 review anker mouse review razer kraken pro review lenovo yoga 11s review how overpriced is alienware?

I meant if you have a $5k build you will want something nicer,but for most people it is fine. I can't personally take any good photos right now, but look on amazon and you will find a few good ones. how overpriced is alienware? 2.0 htc one m8 review anker mouse review razer kraken pro review lenovo yoga 11s review how overpriced is alienware?

Probably around 4 people. Yes it doesn't need to cost more to be good, but a $100 mouse and $10 mouse are very far apart is quality 99% of the time. how overpriced is alienware? 2.0 htc one m8 review anker mouse review razer kraken pro review lenovo yoga 11s review how overpriced is alienware?

Posted June 7, 2014 the biggest difference between mice is the sensor. i wouldn't trust a cheap 8200 DPI mouse... When 2 things meet each other, Quantum stuff happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 7, 2014 Seems like a steal, even in comparison to my go-to (Steelseries Rival). The sensor also looks nice. How's it hold up for you in games?

How's it hold up for you in games? i haven't had any problems with it, but it is the only decent mouse i have. the three buttons are nice, with more its harder to hit the right one, and with way more (like the naga) its doesn't feel as good. the noyl problems is that the sides are glossy plastic, so the get a little sweaty. other than that, i haven't had any problems with it. how overpriced is alienware? 2.0 htc one m8 review anker mouse review razer kraken pro review lenovo yoga 11s review how overpriced is alienware?

Posted June 11, 2014 Funny that, I used this mouse for about a week before Christmas before returning it to Amazon because it was utter crap. The buttons got stuck, the base came apart, the plastic cover on the optical sensor was cracked, and the supplied weights that fit into the underside were rusty. In my experience it was cheap, weak, and I suspect second-hand despite being advertised as new. Not only that, but it's a generic mouse model that gets rebranded and sold under various names. The one I bought was by 'Tecknet', but look at the pics of each, it's the exact same damn mouse: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CSTJIWM/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hate to be the one to ruin this product for anybody considering it, but trust me, I've done you a favour.
