IOGear GME521 5-Button Laser Mouse

Precision is what this 1,600 dpi mouse is all about. With its ultra-sensitive laser resolution, it responds acutely to the slightest movement on nearly any surface. The mouse is plug-and-play in OS X, but you'll only get the left and right buttons and...

IOGear 5-Button USB Laser Mouse

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Was ok for a few days

I was hoping to use this for gaming, but even when it was working, it was messing up in games. When i lifted up the mouse it would start spinning in game. I ended up getting a MX518 and never looked back.

None

It stops working and I had to bang it on the desk to get it to work again

Very nice mouse!

I have my mouse sensitivity almost all the way down, and this thing still flies. I wish it was wireless.

Wow, this thing is fast. Laser next generation!! Beats optical by far. Very fast, nice ergonomic design. Definitely recommend this mouse to everyone

I don't know if this is a con, but there is a button on top of the mouse in back of the scroll wheel. Someone else mentioned this also. It is kind of a strain to reach with your finger, seems pointless. But other than that NONE
