UtechSmart Venus Gaming Mouse RGB Wired, 16400 DPI High Precision Laser Programmable MMO Computer Gaming Mice [IGN's Recommendation]

I was looking to buy either the Razer Naga or the Logitech G600, but then I chanced upon this mouse and decided to research it a bit. There are many positive reviews out there, and this being about half the price of the other 2, pretty much sealed the deal.Now I've had it for about a month, I love it, easily the best mouse I've had yet. It's easy to program the profiles (of which there are 5), and they remain in the memory of the mouse even if you use it on another computer (there's a small button underneath to cycle through the profiles), and there's pretty much no limit of what type of commands you can store within them.The DPI rating is way over the top, but it's there if you want to use it, although I keep mine less than 5000dpi overall, starting at 1000dpi and increase by 1000dpi for each of the 5dpi settings. I'm primarily using it in conjunction with my Logitiech G13 for playing World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, a few FPS & also Photoshop & Lightroom. Each of those is much easier to use with this mouse, as in addition to all the above, it also fits in the hand very nicely, with easy access to all of those 18 programmable buttons.Each of my profiles are colour coded, so I know exactly which one I'm using, and saving changes to the mouse happens in about 2 seconds. The braided cable is welcome as it reduces the chances of snagging the desk edges, and I also like the little thumb rest on the left side (which is why I eventually chose this over the Redragon Perdition).Even when you receive this mouse, you're immediately impressed by how well packaged & presented it is, and once you get to use it, it only gets better. So, if you want a really great mouse for just about any use, I highly recommend this one. Yes it's a little more expensive than the average mouse, but it's a whole lot of mouse for the money, and almost half the cost of the established brands, and it even uses the same or better quality components inside. It's a no-brainer really :)

Blown away by this mouse!its extremely comfy to use, from the rubber texture down to the ergonomic design, Its therapeutic to use its that nice...at its price point its an incredible buy!, its contenders are close to and over double the price of this! is there a difference in quality? well ive used these high priced contenders and the answer is yes but its marginal and most certainly not 2x better quality!...this is the first item I have purchased from UtechSmart.. and im always a bit wary of buying from new outfits especially budget ones!. but im VERY impressed, the software is fast and does the job, its very simple to use and your up and running in seconds, windows picked the mouse up instantly and used windows drivers with no issue until i installed the utech software...its wonderfully packaged and come with a set of spare feet which i was very pleased to see...the side buttons are grate usual use in the OS also, ive set some of the side buttons to things like copy/paste and show desktop, which is awesome to have at your fingertips, the lower (rear most) buttons are a little harder to get at but you get used to it with time and the nack ive found is to use the tip of your thumb for the front buttons and the joint in your thumb for the rear most buttons...all buttons have a satisfying click to them and you know you have pressed that button, the mouse wheel is nice with a rubber tread running the center of the wheel, it feels substantial and well built, i hear lot of complaints that it doesn't have a left/right clickable wheel but ive never used this feature on any of my other mice that had this feature, i find it cumbersome to use TBH and it irritates me that 2 buttons have been wasted here, so i don't miss this at all, in fact im pleased its not a feature here..i honestly have nothing bad to say about this mouse, its very.. very nice! if i was to be hyper picky it would be that it has a braided cable which i find heavy and more hassle than there worth IMO, but that's more a industry thing ATM.. braided cables seem to be the in thing for some odd reason but each to there own i guess......i will and with this... if i was Logitech i would be worried! very worried... because no longer will they be able to sell there overpriced products that are only of average quality.. i will be watching Utech for future products...impressed..... very impressed

So I was looking for a gaming mouse with 12 side buttons and choose this one and am I happy? Yes. Overall the feel and quality are great it's functionality is great it does the job in every way imaginable and the price makes it irresistable. I see people complain about the software to change the mouses settings I honestly don't know what they're talking about it allows you to change colour dpi and mouse buttons and set up macros everything a mouse from razer or corsair does it's even nice to look at and i'm using windows 10 which is the operating system people seem to have the most issues of which I have had 0 bar getting used to every setting for each profile.My only negatives would be the side buttons they're great and work fine but are hard to press normally I don't mind but because you have to press with your ring finger and thumb it's hard to control mouse positioning as i'm used to using my second or third finger with my thumb i'm sure i'll get used to it but the combination of using my ring finger with lack of muscle memory or strength with hard buttons is difficult. The top buttons are the most difficult to press as well.Again to do with the side buttons is the position everyones hands are different and hence different lenghts needed for comfortbale side button pressing mine as just too small but ok. It's why the corsair scimitar might be better and the only other mouse i'd buy but I really like the quick fire button at the side. Overall this mouse is a 8/10 - 9/10 it would be a 10 if it had softer buttons and an adjustable slider for side buttons like the corsair mouse.
