I have read so many positive reviews about this so I am wondering can this be used also as a regular mouse besides gaming?

Oh yeah. I use it every day at work because I use a lot of shortcut keys and since there are 9 on the mouse that you can make whatever you want, it works great!

Certainly, it is a nice mouse for any use. lots of customizable buttons for many tasks aswell

Enjoy your new mouse! I often use gaming mice for day-to-day stuff, including on my work PC where I don't do any gaming.

Yes absolutely. It is an amazing mouse, very well designed and ergonomic, especially for people with big hands. However, if you're not going to use it for gaming, you might want to consider something simpler (obviously you don't NEED the ability to change the logo color nor do you need anywhere close to 8000 DPI for regular computer browsing). I use mine for both browsing and gaming. Macro buttons are convenient for going forward/backward in an internet browser and controlling iTunes even when other windows are open in front of it.

Sure, why not? In fact, I haven't even used it for gaming yet! hahaha You can adjust the DPI in the lower middle button. So, you can adjust to basically any situation you could use it! And in the customization software you can define which are the four DPI configurations you want. (That's what these blue lights next to the left button are four, they show you which speed is currently activated based on these four settings you specified)Hope this helps :)

This isn't the greatest choice to game on. Its a decent mouse for a laptop I still use it on my other laptop. A better choice would be E-Blue Mazer II 2500 DPI Wireless Gaming Mouse (EMS601BKAA-NF) . But don't get me wrong its a good mouse if your on a budget.

This was not a great purchase for me because of how I have to grip the mouse to use. it. I've done some serious assessment of how the thing fits in my hand, and I think with a better grip for the thumb, and a better rest for the palm, it could be good. If you have and use those gel pads with your existing mouse, I think there's a way of setting them up that might work for you. In short, though, you probably have better choices if you have small hands and are looking to offset wrist pain.

Thank you for your feedback Rod, i really appreciate it. I think i am going to purchase this mouse based on your helpful recommendation. :)

It's alright for casual gaming, but with no programmable buttons I am not a fan of it for gaming. Not to mention the absolute terrible battery life. I put energizer ultimate lithium AA batteries in it and they lasted less than 2 months. Pay the extra for a mouse with programmable buttons if you want to game. As for fps, it does alright for some. I've only played SEV2 with it and I find myself annoyed by the loudness of the click mostly.

Yep! I use this mouse for minecraft, planetside 2, swtor, and plenty of other games. It works well and I really like it.

Yes! All the time. I personally have a Roccat Kone (+) as my everyday mouse. I actually use it for both gaming and workstation programs and it's stood the test of time. I think it's useful to be able to customise the mouse buttons out of games as well as in-game and it saves precious time when doing tedious office based tasks. The extra customisable buttons can be very very useful.

Sounds like you have roughly the same size hands as myself. I think you could comfortably use this mouse. It is slightly bigger than a standard mouse, and a decent bit bigger than most wireless mice. My favorite thing about this mouse is how comfortably it sits in hour hand after using for several hours.

I use a Corsair M95 Laser Gaming Mouse and the performance has been nothing but flawless for the entire experience. I can't speak specifically for other laser mice, but I see no reason why they should not work just was well.

I know this is an old question, BUT IT is more then worth the price. I love this mouse I got it atleast 4 years ago and nothing has happened to it. And I use the crap out of it playing WoW.
1238673
its probably the best mouse on the market for macroing, i use it for control groups on starcraft and hotkeys in WoW and DotA2. just bind them to the keys on the mouse and go have fun

It seems ok to me, the little that I have used it. I mainly use a logitech wireless (not bluetooth) mouse though. I'm usually at a table somewhere when I use it though too, so a traditional mouse isn't cumbersome.

Without knowing just how large your hands are, I wouldn't know what your hand would look like on the optical mouse. I would think that just about any size would work with this very great mouse. It is wonderful, in my opinion. I have, maybe medium-sized hands, and it is very comfortable, plus I doubt there are really larger ones out there to use. It also is an extremely durable mouse; I know because it has been accidentally dropped on our tile floor many times and continues to work just great! I always highly recommend it. Plus I see no problem with the right button as someone else commented on here. Without knowing just how large your hands are, I wouldn't know what your hand would look like on the optical mouse.

oh thanks guys for the posts, I have been able to play for a while using the G13 and a track ball mouse. Have gotten good enough that no one knows I play one handed. But thank u very much for the help, I had forgotten about this post or would have put something up

The mouse is actually kind of small, If you have small hands then it should be perfect for you however if you have Average or big hands then it would definitely take some getting used to. I have medium sized hands so I had to get used to it.
1677936
Yup! Perfect for gaming. My old mouse was a little smaller so it feels weird using this big mouse at first but after you get the hang of it you just beast with it in games. I love this mouse.

It works fine for everyday use... I just miss a more customizable setting, like button function by program, that some Microsoft mouses have. But it is a great mouse.
