For the most part, this mouse works as it should. Love the way it feels and how minimal the RGB is. It has nice weight and feel to it and love that the plastic is PBT so that it doesn't develop that "shine" after a while. The LCD on the side of the mouse is a nice touch and love the low profile thumb rest/shelf.
I think this would be a perfect mouse for me if it wasn't for the company backing it. I knocked it down two stars for two reasons:
1) The mouse wheel developed squeaky-ear-piercing sound after 2 months of use. Not like a small squeak or squeal, but similar to a noisy shopping cart. I have a lower cost CM MM531 mouse that I was using before this that never had this issue. While it doesn't affect how it performs, it's constant squeaking is annoying and irritating.
2) Cooler Master's RMA process is outdated and pretty stupid. My issue is that they make you pay for shipping to have their defective products returned to them. If your product is broken and well within the warranty period, why should you pay MORE money to receive one that works? Even the lesser known and smaller brands offer immediate refunds/replacements for defective products or will send you a label to return it back to them on their dime.
Luckily, Amazon came to the rescue. I told them the situation, explained how ridiculous Cooler Masters RMA/Return Policy is and they offered to make amends for me.
TBH, this mouse is great for what it's supposed to do. Yes, the wheel was squeaky, but for the time that it worked as it should have, it's been one of my favorites. However, with Cooler Masters RMA/Return Policies, I wouldn't recommend it or any other Cooler Master product unless the retailer you purchased it from is willing to honor the warranty for you.
