    I'm looking for something fairly small like the Abyssus. Except I don't want the Abyssus because it looks like a toy the way it lights up and all, I need something that looks more professional.

    The only mouse I owned before that was usable in gaming was the Wheel Mouse Optical. The WMO required a palm grip pretty much, but after using smaller mouse I like them more.

    I REALLY like my RAT 7, it's semi-professional, just kind of funky.

    Get a mouse because you like its shape and functionality, not because it does or does not have lights. If it's that big of a deal to you, you can disable the lighting via the mouse configuration software.

    It's not so much the lights but the design. It looks rather unprofessional - the same reason why I avoid Alienware and Toshiba Qosimo.

    Heh, I have to chuckle at the irony of that...Razer customers (myself included) are often ridiculed for buying products "just because they look pretty". It's amusing to hear someone not buying a Razer mouse because of its looks. :p
