After a year and a half, 2 of them now have had issues with the mouse wheel button stopping working, or working intermittently.
If you google this, it is a known issue with ALL Mionix mice. They use cheap switches for the mouse wheel clicker that tend to fail after warranty ends. There are many Youtube videos out there on how to fix it/replace the switches as well. I did the research, and the switches you want to replace them with are PANASONIC EVQ-P0E07K. The ones they use are cheap versions of this, but these switches are high quality versions. You can find them on multiple sites, ready to ship ASAP in the USA. After replacement of the switch, my 2 mice are now working properly again, and hopefully will be for a long time.

To end, this mouse would work great for Palm, or claw grip. Unless you are a titan, don't purchase this for your fingertip grip.
I hope I was able to help other tip grippers in their purchase decision.

Minor Cons: If you're a palm gripper, this mouse might not be for you. It caters to my hybrid clawgrip style quite well. But if you have huge hands, this probably isn't for you. Also, a light mouse might not be to your liking. I'm not a fan of heavy mice and this mouse has no weight management options. You either get used to the weight or you don't with this mouse. The thumb padding is great, BUT, it's a lint magnet. It's no different than the lint magnet grips of the DeathAdder, but it's a minor chore. The slope of the thumb grip might take a little getting used to, but after a while, this mouse does start to cater to your hand like a comfortable glove.
UPDATE - 02/09/2016: So, I did notice the left mouse button was a lot stiffer than the right mouse button. At first, I thought that was by design. Then, the tactile 'bump' became less and less apparent to the point where the left mouse button was not working anymore. I can't believe I've owned this mouse for less than 2 months and I'm already using the insurance that I paid for this thing to send me a replacement.
UPDATE - 2/17/2016: Mionix returned my messages regarding the defective Castor I had. They said that they'd be more than happy to replace my mouse. But the RMA process was horrible! They wanted the following: a) Provide a VIDEO regarding the issue b) Ship the defective product to SWEDEN. You know how much it costs to send a 1lb box to Sweden? Approx. $115+ USD! I was not happy with this proposition as a customer at all, especially when I was trying to see if they honored their warranty policy.
UPDATE - 5/05/2016: So why did I change my rating back from 1 star to 5 stars? The mouse is fantastic. It just so happened that mine was defective. I respect companies like this that reach out to you to try to make things right. This is rare. A gentleman from Mionix reached out to me to (goes by the name of Christoffer) to see what they can do to make the RMA process for U.S. customers easier. Initially, I was told that I had to ship the defective product to Sweden. Shipping a 1lb box to Sweden isn't exactly cheap. So my initial experience involved Amazon refunding me my money while I ended up with defective Castor (the LMB is now completely unresponsive). Thanks to Mionix and Christoffer, amends were made and the option for U.S. customers to exercise the warranty, return or RMA process has improved drastically (you can now ship the product to a U.S. location!). The final resolution involved fantastic customer service (after my initial experience of course), a change in the return process for all U.S. customers who buy Mionix product and most importantly, they replaced my defective Castor with a fully functional and brand spanking new Castor. This company rocks and I hope computer accessory companies like Mionix keep up the great work. Thanks Amazon and thanks Mionix!

as for the software it's a little clunky but that could be fixed with firmware updates in the future, other than its easy to use. the only thing i can really think of that i dont like is that the cable comes bundled up in lots of short folds so its all zig zagy and catches of your desk so i had to straighten mine out for a few days, other than that the braided cable seems very good quality and smooth. all in all this mouse is a 5 out of 5 for me, really pleased with it.
The ergonomics are good with the mouse fitting my hand very well. The tracking is good too.
RGB is just RGB, nothing special there. The software utility has a lot of options available and doesn't even have to be installed to operate.
A major downside in my opinion are the buttons. They feel mushy and don't give you enough tactile feedback when you press them. It becomes a problem when you are wearing a headset and can't tell how many clicks you've made. Another annoying thing is that you can't rest your hand on the mouse due to the second mouse button being very sensitive. It doesn't take a lot to press the button and I found myself constantly missclicking it with my middle finger even though I don't have large/heavy hands.
Overall not a bad mouse but I would not recommend it for competitive gaming. Had to send mine back for a refund due to the above.
2 Main gripes.
- The liftoff distance cannot be changed and this messed my aim up a bit in csgo as i am a mou$eLifter.
- The clicks are fairly loud and harder to press than e.g a deathadder.
For that i will be giving this mouse away
However it is still a vary nice mouse and i would recommend it to most average gamers due to the low price but still getting a good sensor, braided cable and side buttons.
•good sensor-(PWM 3310)
•ok mouse feet
•3 DPI settings (but no indicator)
•nice left and right clicks and good shape for the buttons
Cons:
•scroll steps- I am not sure if it was just my mouse but either the step wouldn't register at all or it would register two steps. It rarely register correctly
•the rubber "grip"- the only think that grips is dust and moisture. Out of the box it was full of dust or lint from the packaging. If moisture touchs the grip it seems to stick there while making it near impossible pick up.
•"ergonomic" grooves- these groves, for me, make the mouse unusable especially with slippages with "grip".
Overall, I think this won't effect every user, I would advise potential buyers with big hands to stay away.
I love how the Castor fits my hand, which is on the large side of meat platter. That's not to say it's a big mouse - it isn't - but it just works so well.
All the clickies are nicely clicky and the scroll wheel feels like a Rolls Royce compared to my previous Steel Series.
If buying for Mac, then you'll need to set up via Windows first (the mouse has a memory), otherwise the tracking is paaaaaainfully slow - avoid!
If you run hot, then the matte coating does get a bit sweaty. My Corsair M65 didn't have that problem.
All told, I really like this mouse.
