Does it have a built in accelertaion that you can't turn off?Like most lazer mice?I find built in acceleration annoying

yes it does. But if you use Razer Synapse you can control the amount of acceleration from 0 to 10.

Nope. Time to replace the mouse, which is too bad. I bought a couple of extra ones prior to MSFT discontinuing this mouse. I still really like it.

Yes, the scroll wheel does have detents or click stops as you scroll. They are very quiet and subtle feeling to the touch. Works very well. I also have a Logitech M500 on another computer. That one has a separate little button to turn the click stops off or on. The off position allows for super fast scrolling to fly up and down on a page, but will often flutter about on a page with the slightest movement of the mouse itself (meaning that you might lose your place while trying to read something). I prefer the detents or click stops. The Kensington mouse never flutters like that.

I'm a low sensitivity gamer: 1100 dpi, 0.8 sensitivity in CS:GO. Disengagement is clean, with no interference after a lift. So I'd say it has a very short liftoff distance. The shorter the better!My past mice include: MX 510, 518, G5, Death Added, Copperhead and both versions of the Imperator. (Razer's dual sensor is a terribly unreliable gimmick!)10 years of competitive gaming and this is easily the best mouse I've ever used. It just needs a good mousepad to utilize it's full potential. (Thick cloth like QCK Heavy)

No measurable lag. But it's not like an analog speed control - it's either on or off. But I can still move to where I want, even at 30x zoom.

You have to turn it off on the switch at the end of the day. It has an inactive mode like all optical mice, but not a sleep mode.

No, up and down like most Windows mouses. If you want L/R scrolling, a trackball type is usually the way to go. There are some good wireless units that use a thumb ball. I have had the older big ball type and they were all too big to work well except for some graphics applications.

yes but its not a smooth track, I ended up going back to my wireless mouse. I was disappointed in its performance. If I get another it will be a logitech

No, I don't know why. I'm using a laser mouse too. But, it's not a gaming mouse. Your mouse might need a specific type of friction?

none that i know of i use a 20 button gaming mouse for movement and q through t a through g z through b for keybinds and never have an issue...

I bought that same mouse and I really like it. I'm not a mouse expert, but I game with it and haven't been disappointed with it at all. I've had mine for about 7 months or so.

I have been using this for over a year now. Think it's a motor skill/coordination issue for ease & speed. I find some text gets dropped at the end of drag or copy sometimes. I find for myself this hardware is much faster than the old mouse. Hope that helps you.

I'm not sure if it is actually a 4000 DPI mouse or whether the drivers simply use acceleration to achieve what would be similar to 400 DPI. From my experience with it though so far, it does not feel like acceleration and doesn't show any of the symptoms that you experience when using acceleration in gaming.

That's a tough question to answer, it's so subjective. I have a couple loud mice that I replaced with this Kensington mouse. I can't stand loud mice. They are annoying and I'd rather throw them away so my family can't use them either. I really like this Kensington mouse. It has great buttons and features and I found it to be more quiet than other mice I have owned. I do know that there are some mice that are more quiet, but this one works great for me.

It clicks, which I find annoying. However, if one is mechanically inclined it's easy to remedy. Remove the 2 screws in the battery compartment. Pop open the mouse. Locate the spring on the side of the scroll wheel and remove it with needle nose pliers. Pop mouse back together and replace the 2 screws, enjoy scrolling as smooth as butter. WARNING: this will certainly void any warranty and YMMV. ;-)

It clicks. Not does it have an option for a flywheel mode. My new mouse does, and I've found it come in handy quite often.

You can turn it off for optimum battery life. I never turn it off but I've only had it about a month now and haven't needed to replace the battery. There is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse.
