it's a descent mouse..

i have been using my other mouse that is made from Microsoft for at least 6 years now.. and i totally love it. when i got this mouse.. the size compared to my other mouse seems a bit smaller..

this mouse has a very good design and feel to it

when holding on the mouse, it feels as if it's a poor quality made
