(More customer reviews)If you are a CAD operator or use Photo-shop and Multimedia Editing programs or Power Web Surfing and most especially if you use a Multi-Monitor system, you will be EXCEEDINGLY PLEASED and HAPPY with the mouse.
This mouse is NOT for Gaming, it will not make a serious gamer happy at all.. All serious gamers know you want a tethered mouse, even more especially for online gaming, (Do the research, I speak the truth), but if you do want a wireless mouse for gaming, the sampling rate for wireless gaming specific mice are way above normal.
Some, including myself have noticed a motion and tracking issue. This is not the mouse but an Operating System setting issue. It is fixed in less than 5 minutes with the following below from another feedback on this mouse that I wrote. Also, this is a multimedia mouse...so learn your manual and USE and Practice with the additional functions until they become normal for you. You will then start pushing the mouse to its capabilities and will enjoy the large variety of features and precision tracking, but once last time... This is not a gaming mouse, buy a mouse specifically designed for gaming if that is the application you are looking for.
"I use this mouse for Professionally CAD and a variety of multimedia programs. I love this mouse, absolutely love it. But.... yes, later on in use it started to get very herky jerky in its motion and tracking. The problem is not the mouse but a conflict in program priorities of the process executions in the operating systems. The fix for this temporarily is to set the "Itype" Process in the task manager to HIGH. To make this elevation of the process priority permanent you need to install a free little utility app calledprio_win32_199_2091.exe, (32bit).This will add a 'save priority change' to your task manager priority drop down menu, so that when you reboot your computer or log on or off the operating system, XP thru Win7, (64bit available on program homepage) will remember the priority change. Once changed to HIGH, not 'Above Normal', the mouse will perform motion and tracking flawlessly once again."
The little utility installs in just a few seconds and requires a reboot. It is free and works flawlessly and is handy with fixing other apps that get herky jerky too, like playback on video programs...very handy, if you know what you are doing. YOU SHOULD NOT just arbitrarily reset or elevate program priorities. It will not increase system speed. but like the mouse program you can fix most CD/DVD burning programs, even big one's like Nero, that fail on disk burns, if you elevate their priority a little.
But in summation, if you use this mouse as was intended for multimedia, you will be very satisfied with your purchase. The quick zooming and dpi fast change is Extremely useful for graphics editing and the buttons are located perfectly for this type of work activity.
One reviewer mentioned that the construction was poor. This must have been a one off weird thing, the Ihome products are known for good construction. I use this in a professional capacity so it gets used about 10hrs a day, everyday.
Power Web Surfing - it is great for that with the zoom in and out and fwd and back buttons all right there quick for use. But the real shot in the arm is when you use this on a muli-monitor systems like I do. Now my laptop is wide screen at a very high resolution, the second monitor is a standard 15 inch with a 4:3 aspect ratio and not the 16:9 of the laptop. Also the resolution capabilities of the secondary monitor are different.
When you are pulling web pages/CAD drawings/Photo images up and down rapidly and pulling back and forth between the monitors the displayed images CHANGE! Here the mouse's quick access buttons really come into the fight and do the job so sweetly and quickly do the job samurai style, super quick.
Audio Editing and Mixing.... If you are an audio or video - phile, you will be again EXTREMELY PLEASED with the multi-media functions. When levelizing or modifing audio tracks and mixing tracks... this is the mouse...
The crazy thing that so many people overlook is the price...the price people.... to get a mouse that performs as well as this one, when setup properly, will cost you 5x as much...
