What reviewers say
APH Networks and MMORPG liked the familiar right-handed shape, responsive tracking and restored second thumb button. APH Networks found the new textured finish could collect dirt and noted a slight wheel squeak; MMORPG found the main buttons easy to press accidentally and the middle click awkward.
