Good, but only at first glance

I own the mouse now for just over 2 years.
Initially, there was absolutely nothing to complain about, super easy and fast hotkey Binding, great for my rather large hands, nice optical design of the mouse and many hotkeys.
In the game itself (I've mainly played WoW), there was also no defects and you could for each character the mouse individually "programmed", ie different color, "Pulsierstärke" and bindings.

However, walked slowly from the paint mouse over time.
First, just at the point where my palm was, after the right-click button.
At first I thought I would paint (eg for Warhammer 40k etc.) poured over the mouse, to one of my friends pointed out to me that the foundation of the mouse is black.
So far so bad, but it was even better.

After just over a year the only hotkey broken (top right of the mouse) went.
That bothered me at first not because I have not used all the time hotkeys, so I sent not a mouse.
Yet owned by just over 2 years (just after the warranty extinguished so) broke the mouse wheel.
so you can either use the hotkey on the right of the mouse wheel, as this in itself, as this when scrolling down, or with a simple touch extremely scrolls the mouse wheel with hotkey pressed, even the mouse wheel up.
That's for me as PvPers in arenas rather bitter and cost me some points of my rating ...

All the people who think about whether you should buy the SteelSeries mouse, or would you prefer a mouse for example. From Razer, I can only strongly advise against the SteelSeries mouse, because this mouse is "alive" despite careful handling a maximum of 2 years.
