BTW its back on sale for $4.99 shipped.

I can't find any information on its DPI range though. 800 or 6000 with nothing in between? I'd expect at least a couple of usable presets like 1600 and 2400.

I have NOT gotten to test it yet - I will tonight and report out.  It has a +/- button on it so I assume its incremental but will advise

Okay so I have it out, reading the manual it has its own Program to set this mouse up.  Havent installed yet, but from what I am reading I can have 3 profiles set up and it sets the sensitivity, DPI, polling, color settings (pulsing etc) on each setting from 1-10 incriment slider bars

 

Unboxing was nice - the weights have their own metal Zalman carrying case (like a small pill box), and the mouse feels good in the hand.  The mice are the exact same length (eyeballing it) but this one with weights is a bit wider...but the width is the thumb and pinky rests so not a bad thing.

 

Each button is individually addressable to what you want it to do once programmed.  You can even set scroll up and scroll down to a function you want.

 

I just got home, kids are excited (2 and 1) so I am going to spend some time with them and be back in an hour or so.

 

Editing as I read this and updating.

 

EDIT 2 - back and forth...My PC doesn't have a CD ROM lol so I will have to find the program on Zalman later tonight...and I don't feel like putting in one of my 3 backup DVD roms in the parts pile unless I have to

Plug and play (have downloaded software but wanting to see this part first) - the +/- is MULTIPLE settings of DPI.  From super slow to super fast.  Not sure the DPI settings at this time.  The lines on the side and underbelly of the mouse are pulsating blue.

 

Once I got in the software however I noted that DPI settings WITHOUT software are:

800, 1600, 2000, 2400, 3200, 5000, 6000.  Pretty nice spread however no indicator.  Once software loads up however you get to see it change with each click so know what it is.  Once you get used to the mouse I could see the non indicator not being an issue. 

 

Mouse feels....good I guess.  Not sure if I like it yet.  Its the smooth plastic with a shiny surface.  It doesn't feel bad in the hand, but I cant tell if the plastic is cheap or just nice high gloss.  Havent added weights yet.  Clicks/Scrolls feel good so far.

 

Software download, reboot required.  The software starts on its own in sys tray, right click and show the window (where the sound settings etc are)

 

Heres your control (all DPI settings etc) of the mouse - lots of options sans color - looks like Blue is it:

Very nice. Especially for a $5 mouse.

 

Thanks for the thorough information.
