Vorneweg, yes, the mouse is a bit expensive, because you get a gaming mouse with 2 extra side buttons for 15. However, the money is well spent in the mouse, because the pressure points of the buttons are ideal and you can play / work with the mouse for a longer time without the hand hurts. The software (you have to download from the website), I find ok, programming macros works well and simply. However, I do not know, how do you activate a profile permanently, because if I neustarte the PC, always open the program and load the profile needs. It does not bother me really, since I rarely use macros. At the moment, a super mouse, it only remains to be seen how long they hold out, since many complain about with the Mad Catz mice that they wear out quickly.
