Is this mouse recommended for a non-gamer? I am attracted by the extra buttons if I can apply them to other apps I use. My other option is the M705.

You can use it for non gaming apps and functions. You can configure the macros however you want. You can have three different types of macros saved on the mouse.

The M705 is a great starter mouse (owned 3). G700 (own 2) adds more buttons but you lose the thumb button which is more useful for non-gaming needs. :)

I had the Razer Naga before buying this mouse, and the buttons are very easily reachable. There is a slight curve in the buttons, but does not hinder me. I am using the 1-9 buttons, my fingers are too short to reach the 10-12 unless I move my palm. If you have a larger hand/longer fingers, it should be no problem.Very good mouse!

I own this mouse and can't seem to get the 4th mouse button to work. The MS website does not list a Mac compatible driver:http://tinyurl.com/8mpsoom

Yea as long as you turn down the sensitivity a bit its good, the extra buttons are also very handy(reloading/switching weapons. I recommend it even if you are playing an fps.

I primarily used it for gaming (just using the 1-12 buttons for 1 through 0, - and =). There is a way to Configure Razer mouse settings on Razer Synapse 2.0 but I never used it. I hate to misinform you, so I would research what you can do with Synapse 2.0 or go to the Razer website and ask support directly. Have a good day.

Logitech's driver and software are not very good. The biggest disappointment I had was realizing that the scroll wheel didn't work at all in World of Warcraft. I checked out some forums and a lot of people recommended a program called SteerMouse ($20) (http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/). This got the mouse working just fine and offered a lot of additional functionality Logitech's software did not.

Its not bad, i have used it for FPS and of course its no gaming mouse but I didn't notice the difference after a few minutes of game time. But I don't play any third person

Ghenghis, I appreciate the suggestions, but I can assure you it is not a memory problem - at least in my case. I do monitor my system and have no such issues. I did not have the middle-button problem with any other mouse, nor did I have a problem loading a page using the left or right mouse keys on the particular mouse in question.Again, thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. I hope you have (or have had) a better experience with this model of mouse.

Fiirst. The clicking isnt super loud. I use it for gaming and i havent found any problems with it. So yes, i would use it for gaming

Every mouse is different. They all have good and bad points. I use the G502 mostly but I had a job that the Rival was much better and it is a much worse mouse. I have wanted to try the G402 also as I like the lighter weight idea. Most mouses today are not very durable though, but you just have to try to find the most durable you can.

I wouldn't recommend anything as a replacement mouse. I grew up on desktops, and I have had a very unpleasing experience with trackpads when it comes to navigation. Even if you are just doing things like facebook, I would recommend getting a mouse.

I would say both. Precision and handling does great, buttons easy to press and use, only thing that would make this not as great as a mouse is of you a ton of macro keys, the thumb 3 and the one above the scroll wheel are the only ones easy to press without stretching. Also currently has 4 DPI settings toggle but you only have option of switching on press, can't push to toggle then release to return for quick dpi increase for headshots

yeah, i wonder the same thing. what is better? Though the Razer has more buttons, i find that the outside buttons (the buttons on your right ring finger) feel a little awkward. I guess the razor mice is good for left handers, since logitech is biased towards left handers =P

The mouse buttons are exceptionally quiet compared to a regular mouse, BUT the scroll wheel is horribly imprecise. I got rid of mine for just that reason, I would've kept it if not for that. Also the button beneath the scroll wheel itself takes a relatively large amount of pressure to click.

I do, I also have a Razer Naga that goes with it nicely. But if you want something cheaper and have a hard time using the 12 buttons that the Naga has, Logitech makes a nice mouse, it's the G300 and has a really nice design to it and has only 6 buttons. It just depends on what you like and can afford. Hope that help answer your question. =]

I have only used a mouse. Hopefully you have NOT purchased this game yet. It would not download without the help of the GEEK SQUAD. Even then there are many problems. My advice- look for AIR CONFLICTS-air battles of world war II. It is a non sim game however it has 3 skill levels that you can choose from. have not had any problems. Lots of fun jump right in and fly. If you need more information please feel free to contact me. I'll be watching-just in case.
