Loads to say about this. I actually bought a bunch of mice to test and I preferred this one out of them all - and this is the cheapest one!!
Positives!
Has a DPI setting - for those who don't know what this means and don't game (like myself), this is your sensitivity button. Like I switch from mac and PC constantly, and you'll notice yourself changing the sensitivity based on how fast / slow you want the cursor... this is awesome to have it on the mouse itself! No more faffing with software on the pc!
It has a power saving mode.. turns off after a while so you can forget about it and use it without the batteries dying!! I always forgot before this to turn mice off with that annoying little switch I had to get my non existing finger nail to move up and down!! All you have to do to turn it on is click once and it's on again! simples!
There's buttons on the sides of it, and this was one of the reasons I was put off by it, but actually they are out of the way so my annoying thumb doesn't catch it!! (the buttons don't work on mac anyway).
The style doesn't hurt my hand after long uses.. and I mean long uses.. I'm a YouTuber so I'm editing on my mac for 8 hours straight!
Battery is never changed because of how good it is for power management, but at least if your battery decides to pack up you can manually replace it.. don't like these new do-dads that have built in batteries because you can't replace them when they decide to fail!!! companies are more money driven than ever!!
Negatives....
Doesn't work on glossy surfaces like my standard glossed table, you have to use this on a matte or roughed surface.
THATS IT.
Can't believe this was the cheapest mouse and is the best. Love it so much!!
++UPDATE FEB 2019++
Unfortunately, this product started having some issues around 4-5 months - mouse cursor would stick on screen. Contacted Bluetree when I got fed up with it and they gave me some troubleshooting steps to work on the issue. After a few days of trying these steps, the issues still remained so they sent out a replacement. Because I'm now unsure what the issue was I'll be keeping this review updated to see how the replacement gets on.
Thank you to Bluetree and their wonderful customer support though (don't see enough of these good customer service companies, so they should be mentioned and appreciated!).
