From cheap gaming mice I know is that after a short time something goes kaput. Most often it is the scroll wheel or a button, sometimes true also something wrong with the sensor. I have to replace a get that a scroll wheel defect had after 3 weeks ... and so I looked at it with skepticism and made me focus on it soon to have to buy a new mouse this .... Long story short: So far (about 2 years after receipt) this mouse works flawlessly bought as new and looks accordingly made: no wear and tear. The different, grippy surface structures were beginning to get used to but after a few weeks use, I learned just to appreciate these qualities. The mouse is firmly in the hands and even after hours of gimmick I have no problems with sweaty hands or slippery surface (at this point let me say that I have no problem with sweat hands in general ...). The sliding properties are very pleasant and smooth. I use the mouse on the Roccat Sense Pad. From the software I've never exercised, I think it worked well not with me, but it did not bother, I'm nobody needs the 80 buttons on the mouse. So was also told that I am not a "hardcore gamers". I like to play and a lot and everything from shooter to RPG and MMORPG's but would not stop me as "Suchti" denote.
For me, this mouse has completely passed, I was extremely pleased that processing can look very sophisticated and generally it actually looks cool too. Especially I am satisfied with the longevity of the product. Some expensive manufacturers could learn a lot. I think I could use this mouse or the next 3-5 years, but now has her what white and she retires;)
Conclusion: Absolute buy recommendation for players who do not have too high expectations and are looking for a loyal and reliable companion.
