I also have one and I think it's rather quite nice, much better than anything from M$ and very comparable to my old Logitech G5. I guess I'm not enough of a Razer fanboy to dislike anything that's not made by Razer though...

I also agree with Sensi Karate, the cord is way long enough and I have a huge freakin desk and have no problem reaching the back of my system. I too got a normal size CD in the box, but so what? CM Strom has the ISO image as well as a firmware update available on their website and the firmware update will fix the issues mentioned with the sensor.

It's also not plasticky and it's one of the few "LED ridden" mice that you have the option to turn off all the lights on. The value of the OLED display is questionable and the same goes for the weights, as I think it's ideal with the full set of weights fitted. It suits my hands perfectly, although I agree that the thumb buttons are a bit off and it would've been nice to have a slightly better scroll wheel that would tilt.
The scroll wheel does tilt to the right but not to the left, but thats fine in my opinion. Also now that I think about it, theres actually nine, not eight programmable buttons if you include the two on the scroll wheel. Also agree of the whole plasticky thing, its actually quite solid and feels great to hold.

The weights is a gimmick, but all gaming mouses now have somesort of weight system which you can change so I think CM just went with the flow. Only need to really change if your a hardcore gamer who need 4.5g less to the back so you got slower motion looking down etc..
