God performance, but some OS issues - Reviewed on 2008-07-07
I really like this mouse design. Its symmetry makes it appropriate for both right- and left-hand mousers (I'm ambi-moustrous) and it has smooth, quiet controls.
Unfortunately, one of the "special functions" available with the programmable tilt wheel is to show larger views of the running applications (screenshots of each running ap, instead of the icons you see when you do an Alt-Tab). To accomplish this, it actually has to take mini "Print-Screen" pictures digitally whenever your applications show a display, and this causes a rippling or repaint effect in some applications. At least in may versions of Windows XP this is the case.
Even if you don't USE that function of the tilt-wheel, the software still takes the screen shots. So the only way to eliminate the rippling screen problem is to uninstall the software that came with the mouse and install an earlier version of the mouse software - which does not have the tilt-wheel (scroll side-to-side) functionality.
Nevertheless, it's a smooth operating mouse, attractive, and seems to have a reasonable battery life.
