4.0 out of 5 stars Has small flaws, but a good mouse nonetheless, December 13, 2007

To start off, I would say I got lucky when I ordered my Fatal1ty laser mouse. I've read many reports of this mouse not working after a month or so, with a double clicking issue. I am happy to say I did not get these problems.

Te design of this mouse is very different than other mice, especially logitech mice, which are held by your whole hand. This mouse is held by the "claw," which basically means you hold it with your fingers, and your wrist can rest on the table. Personally, I prefer slightly smaller mice to the giant logetech ones.

The laser tracking on this mouse is extremely smooth and accurate. The polling rates, as you may or may not have read, are 1000hz (which means that it refreshes its signal 1000 times a second). The dpi at max is 2400, also helping out the smooth and accurate motion.

The mouse buttons require a bit more effort to press than I would like, but it's not something that I'd worry about. It takes a while to get used to the button on the far right, since most mice don't have that button. The dpi change button, right under the mouse wheel, feels a bit too hard to press to change on the go, but I've never had to do that in middle of a game before. The thumb button is nicely placed so that to press it, you roll your thumb inward and you press it.

The weight system does it job in this one, although with the heavier weights, you'll need to secure the weight with something around it, such as tape. There's a small issue of slight wobbling of the weight when you move it around.

The teflon feet are large and do a very good job of keeping the mouse sliding smoothely on the table.

In terms of overall feel, the mouse feels great. There are a few small issues here and there, but the overall performance of the mouse overshadows these.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pretty and sleek, but doesn't last long, July 8, 2008

I owned a Creative Fatal1ty 1010 for about six months and the left button stopped working (would not click anymore, unless it was in a good mood, which was rare).

Creative sent me a supposedly brand-new Fatal1ty 2020 mouse, which I have had for around nine months, and now the left button has broken again, this time the opposite problem of holding down the "click" every time I click, meaning files I only wanted to select but not open are opened and whenever I close windows using the upper-right-hand corner "X" box, it closes all other windows behind it rapidly because the button is being held down (by the mouse).

At this point, the warranty is up, and so is my patience. From the looks of it, others seem to have had similar problems. In case you're wondering, I use this mouse around one hour every day. Save your $30, it isn't worth $3.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great design, but poor construction!, November 30, 2009

I loved the small size since I like to grip with my fingers. This has all the buttons I need but the QUALITY simply sucks! The main buttons started going out and not responding due to poor design of mechanism inside the mouse!!! I tried super glue but that lasted a few days before it would not respond to clicks. I bought another thinking it was bad defect, but it happened again! So not buy this if you are an avid gamer! I was sad because this was my favorite mouse to use! However, it did suffer from bad tolerances and the weight rattles.

I just bought a Sidewinder X8 and it sucks too due to it's huge size and the worst wheel ever designed! Anyway, stay away from these 2 mice!
