Price? What makes it better than a $20 mouse?HOT SHIT

Interesting. I seriously don't know how one mouse can be so much better. That one looks cool so sell me on it.
Nice mouse. Laser mice are where it's at. What dpi?
Every mouse is really about feel and preciseness - so when I said lasers I was kidding but not actually kidding. The laser tracking in this mouse is likely the best on the market. In my line of work I need the ability to insure my clicks are exactly where they need to be, as well as have the ability to multitask as quickly as possible. With this mouse you have horizontal scrolling, the ability to change desktops using the gesture button, and two more self-assigned functions of your choice. That makes navigating this
a bit easier for me. Also, the scroll wheel has a clutch mode you can activate and deactivate by touch, which gives or takes away the scroll 'click'. You can go 'line by line' or 'infinite' scrolling. This is cool because sometimes you may prefer smooth scrolling while utilizing some functions.
Of course, for the average person this may be unnecessary or overkill, for me it's a boon with the type of workflow I keep.
Lastly, ergonomics is important. I can't stress how easy it is to get carpal tunnel with the wrong mouse, lol

Well, I had no idea! That's great man and now I'm pumped to upgrade! Sounds like some great features I didnt even know existed.Every mouse is really about feel and preciseness - so when I said lasers I was kidding but not actually kidding.

Love my Razer DeathAdder. Pretty basic, but precise and comfortable. Let us know how it feels when you get it Abe.
Little more info.....
Laser Optics
Laser tracking is known for precision. This accuracy is achieved by angling the laser light to capture specular reflection, which illuminates greater surface contrasts.
Stronger light source and more efficient sensor placement typically make laser mice superior to standard optical mice, especially for the variety of surfaces on which it tracks.
Advanced Optics
Logitech borrowed a page from laser optics technology when creating our advanced LED optics. By angling the LED and repositioning the sensor, Advanced Optical Tracking processes more surface contrast and responds like a laser mouse.
Darkfield Technology
Both optical and traditional laser mice use irregularities on the surface to track the direction and speed of the mouse movements. For this reason, traditional mice do not perform well on shiny surfaces. This is where Darkfield Laser Tracking comes in. Darkfield uses the smallest possible detail to create a micro-road map of the surface so you get better precision on more surfaces, even glass.

yes!
I once bout a RAT 9

but returned it after just not being able to get comfortable with it.
I now use a G500s

Most comfortable mouse I've ever had. Fits in my palm like a glove. Also, smoothest movement amongst any mouse I've used.
I'm loving this....!
