I have a logitech mx518, and it also has that same shorting issue every now and again. not to mention that the protective rubber coating over the whole mouse is flaking off slowly like a bad case of dandruff. Anyway, about this mouse... a massive chunk of the cost goes in IP rights, so although you're paying top dollar, you are at best getting an 'average' mouse, with an expensive label. Think of it like those Lamborghini mouse-pads that cost like $70. They're just a normal $20 mouse-pad, but with an expensive badge on it. Gimmic branded stuff will never give the same bang for your buck as their unbranded counterparts because the unbranded doesn't need to pay another company for trumping around their logo. If you want a good performance mouse, get a good performance mouse. if you want something to show off at a LAN party, get a show pony (ie. this). Perhaps a bit of time for the show-pony affect to ware off, or the massive amount of drugs I'm on at the moment to counter my doctor's stupidity is to blame for my increased sarcasm levels, but eh. Point still stands :p @Ben - sorry u got left w/ a dud :-( I don't know what trade laws are in the US, but in the AU, if the product is crap, you have 7 days to take i back and tell them where to shove it ^.^ ~Ithiel. lol… I have a logitech mx518, and it also has that same shorting issue every now and again. not to mention that the protective rubber coating over the whole mouse is flaking off slowly like a bad case of dandruff.

I had one on order for 6 months up here in Canada, but found it on a shelf in the states over the weekend. I'd read the poor reviews, but wanted to satisfy my curiosity after all this time, so I disposed of some disposable income and picked one up. For starters my buttons feel like they're made out of cheap ass plastic, as in really cheap ass for the $ i paid..WTF?!? It gives me the tingles in my fingers and i thought i had a major issue with RSI after playing for 5 hours straight but no, apparantly it's some issue where there's electricity being leaked out onto the chasis. I want to return mine but their tech support hasn't gotten back to me. So much for money well spent. I think im going to hit up a G5 or the mamba, which is kinda too expensive. there's even a bunch of guys suing blizzard for it at http://petitiononline.com/wowmouse for flouting the TOS. sign up if you're facing problems with your mouse! seems like there's so much complaints about the mouse in every forum i searched for. wtf I just received my SS Wo.W mouse and i am having some issues with it.

I'm assuming the manual/setup guide was of no help? Is it giving any specific errors? If so, send me a printscreen via the <a href="http://www.wowfailblog.com/submit/" rel="nofollow">submit page</a>, and I'll see if I can find out what's going on. ~Ithiel Humm… I’m assuming the manual/setup guide was of no help?

It seems pretty spiffy and so far i like it. But the software you need to download is sketchy. For some reason I cant get the Profile name thing to link up with WowArmory. any suggestions? I live in the united states. I just bought it today. It seems pretty spiffy and so far i like it. But the software you need to download is sketchy.
