    Solid Gaming Mouse - Great Price

    I needed a new mouse, because my old Razer mouse (saw a whole lot of use) was registering double clicks when it shouldn't have. When I opened the box, I have to be honest that it felt a bit more cheaply made than my previous one. It was priced at a very low budget point, so I can't be too angry about that; it's understandable. Despite that worry, it's been in use for multiple months at this point and works great.

    Bought this as a emergency mouse since mine wasn't working anymore and it turned out to be great. Feels really comfortable in hand and is very precise and lightweight.

    The first one I had purchased had a defective scroll wheel, but it was within the return window and I was able to get a replacement. It has been a while since receiving the replacement and it works great so the previous mouse was clearly just a defect. It is comfortable and designed to fit your hand around it. The clicking is also not incredibly loud, though not entirely quiet.

    Mouse works great but sensitivity is really high stock, after 2 years of moderate use the scroll started glitching

    Love this mouse, it's light weight, feel perfect and comfortable in my palm. Smooth and accurate. I actually prefer this over the high-end $50-80 mouse.

    Had this mouse for over a year. Used it for school and gaming and it works perfectly fine. I love the clicking sound and the 2 buttons on the sides can be customized to do whatever you like.

    In a market dominated by RGB, per-key macros, and looking like something from a sci-fi movie... this is a worthy choice for people who want to do more with their money than look fancy on a livestream. This is the mouse for a lunatic who is absolutely obsessed with revenge. Light, agile, doesn't require any Razer software to use (even if Windows pre-installs it), and the buttons are satisfying to click on. Are YOU obsessed with getting revenge on that guy in cs_dust who turned you into a joke? Are YOU obsessed with getting each hit marker in Quake with the railgun? Then FORGET buying a fancy mouse for over $80+. Use that $50 to buy some Mountain Dew that's the same color as this mouse and go on an all-nighter, and enjoy every second. This mouse is a tool to vanquish your enemies, and it does an absolutely brilliant job of it. This, THIS is a Gaming Mouse. This is a throw-back to what they used to be in the mid-2000's! Buy it.

    Amazing only one color though. The mouse it self is great it is just it only comes in green and the customization is quite bad but if you don’t care about the color it is a amazing mouse. (Just as a point of reference, this review was left by my 14 year old middle school son)

    It's a nice mouse. We've been buying the low price Logitech wireless mice, but they seem to only last a little over a year. Thought I go back to a wired mouse, and see if it lasts longer. It only cost around $20 - $25, and it acts like you would think a mouse should act.

    Classic, form fitting, lightweight, and a nice long cable! All that for $20 is really great! I’m biased because I had one long ago and now I’m returning after owning many other mice including wireless ones, however, it will always be a decent choice!

    I love Razer products! Last mouse lasted 8 years and is still working. This one is a perfect replacement. Very satisfactory when clicking and easy custom setting to get the best of your side buttons
