TL;DR Need one setup for work and play? This is your best choice - right now. Probably the best mouse I've ever used. And I've used a lot of mice for both media production and gaming. Pros: - Works immediately - Sensor is in the middle/true center - Accepts rechargeable AA batteries (no land-fill) - Ergonomic oval shape! Don't buy mice with indented sides. - Solid feel and balance - Super smooth g Stephen · bhphotovideo.com
