- Strengths:
- wireless without taking up a usb port
compact
comes with travel pouch and nice cable
easy to use software
dpi adjustments on the fly with side keys
great battery life
looks cool
blue LED scroll wheel can be turned off
quick to wake
- Weaknesses:
- quick to goto sleep
software can only be used when wired
too compact
slip surfaces are falling off
bluetooth can be flaky sometimes (tried on 3 different machines and a tablet)
- Summary:
- This is a great mouse, when its behaving. Its nice because it behaves 95% of the time. The only issue thats been a constant for me is that the plastic parts that are glued on to give the mouse a bit more slip are peeling after 2 weeks of use (I've had the mouse for 4 months). They are cheap sticker like deals.
High Quality Bluetooth Mouse

- Strengths:
- The mouse is portable and lightweight, and by far the most precise Bluetooth mouse I have ever used. It wakes up MUCH faster than my previous Bluetooth mouse, especially after a firmware update. The battery life is solid and six months in I have only replaced them once despite daily use. The size is perfect if you favor a claw grip for gaming.
- Weaknesses:
- When using this mouse connected via Bluetooth, don't expect the gaming grade precision of Razer's other mice, since current Bluetooth connectivity doesn't offer a high enough polling rate to accomplish this. With the USB cable connected it performs much more smoothly.
- Summary:
- Buy this mouse if you want an excellent Bluetooth mouse that becomes an equally excellent gaming mouse when connected by USB.
Great Mobile Mouse

- Strengths:
- - Smooth and accurate tracking, even when wireless
- Comfortable finish, easy to grip
- Comes with a case
- Works on MacOS X 10.6 and Win7 x64 Home, including bootcamp dual-boot.
- Weaknesses:
- - Goes to sleep after a minute or two in wireless mode. Wakes up quick, but stutters for the first second. This might annoy some people.
- Performs better with the cable
- Cable is a little short
- Might be too small for some hands
- Can be configured in wired mode only
- MSRP is expensive
- Weird problem under MacOS X. Every time I connect via Bluetooth, MacOS identifies it as a keyboard and asks me to identify it. I just close the message window, and it's fine.
- Summary:
- I use this on my MacbookPro (late 2007 edition) dual-booting into Win7 x64 and MacOS X 10.6. So far it works great. Word of warning: Like any other Bluetooth device on a dual boot Mac, you need to pair it with Windows FIRST. If you do Windows first, you can then peer it with MacOS and it will work flawlessly when booting into both OSes.
The strengths definitely outweigh the weaknesses. This is a very comfortable, albeit small, gaming mouse. Highly recommended, but try to get it on sale.

- Strengths:
- Bluetooth
- Weaknesses:
- Small, flakey
- Summary:
- I bought this mouse because it looked nice & on sale. Hooked up fine to Vostro 3400. I did reboot testing to make sure it would connect up automatically. Everything working good for 2 days. I have just spent the last 2 hours deleting, reinstalling, reconnecting, updating firmware & it will not connect to my computer. Great as i dont have any packaging left. 60.00 down the drain, it now only works as a wired mouse, probably cant return it now. Hoe Razor support is good.
Great mouse

- Strengths:
- In response to Annoyamouse,
It does have: Silky smooth tracking, with wired / wireless capabilities
- Weaknesses:
- It is a bit small (I have big hands too) but, it is advertised as a notebook gaming mouse.
- Summary:
- I bought a small gaming laptop (Alienware m11x) and wanted a good, small Bluetooth gaming mouse. This is it. I find myself using this mouse on my desktop computer, which already has a great laser mouse. This one is a bit better.
Terrible!

- Weaknesses:
- - Too small (I have big hands and my fingers cramps up quick on such a small mouse)
- Flashed okay to 1.06 firmware, but software does not detect mouse properly under 7 x64 Ultimate (crashes when trying to turn on the mouse wheel light). You have to ignore the "does not detect orochi mouse" message.
- Summary:
- - Might be just me / system that the mouse is not detecting - perhaps from the firmware update? No idea. Returning soon for a logitech mouse
