I like it a lot.  I didn't think I would use a 9 mutton mouse... but for WAR I currently have 7 button's programed, and will have the other two soon as I figure out what to do with them.  I was going to wait for the Microsoft Sidewinder x8 because it would match my keyboard and in general be badass, but I'm glad I went with the Razer - it's sleek, fast, comfortable, fully customizable, has onboard memory, insane data flow and sampling rate, etc....

Only downsides when compared to the x8 imo is no possibility of being wireless, doesn't come with cable management system like the x8, and only two left side thumb buttons (i really do like the three with two vertical on the x8).  Also the two right side buttons are a little awkward at first, but didn't take me too long to get used to them.

Software is pretty easy to use as well, for what it's worth.  You have to remember that out of the box nothing is programed - just basic windows functions.  About 20 minutes of time with the software and I was up and rolling and have tweaked a few settings since then and it's quite easy to do so.  Auto profile switching is cool but not necessary, and there is a tactile button on the bottom for changing profiles.

Mainly, I didn't want to wait until feburary to get a new mouse which is when the x8 comes out, and I started trying out the Razer at the local best buy (teh devil) realized I like it, read a ton of reviews and bought it.  Don't regret it at all!!

Nope.  Not on my regular old sh*tty mouse pad and not on my Razer gaming surface.  Has that been a problem?
