    I've heard nothing but bad things about this mouse from various reviews/forums. I would highly advise staying clear of this one. =\

    Got this mouse from my son on my birthday a month ago...and I'm quite happy with it. It's my first laser mouse so I may not have a big comparison, still it's a good piece of equipment, very comfortable to use.

    As for being marked as a WOW player...well...I am one LOL, don't see a reason to be ashamed of it :p

    I stay with the Logitech Mouse keyboard MX 5000 Mouse has 10 button total. I use on Lord of the rings and Project Toque. If I spelled them right.

    I've heard it's good but not great, and definitely not worth the $100+ price tag. I recommend the Logitech G9 or G9X. Adjustable grips, weights, DPI, and 5 buttons.

    I dont think it is. Do you see all those macro buttons! They have a purpose that your razer or my g9 cant touch.

    id buy a cheaper mouse, i'd definitely buy a gaming mouse, but based on the reviews of the wow mouse i'd say its terribly overpriced.
