Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wanted to love this mouse. It looks great, is sleek and, because of its slender profile, slips easily into netbook sleeves. The touch surface is silky, but its looks set higher expectations than it can meet. I got this for very casual, web-browsing type use. The particular shape ends up being uncomfortable. I'm a guy, but I'd say my hand size is average. My ring finger grips the thin, metal edge and this is a slightly-uncomfortable feeling that gets more annoying over time. The click functions require more force than they should. Because of this, right-clicking is iffy, however I find myself left-clicking accidentally a lot. (I'm a computer professional, not a new user of mice or anything.) I also wish I could just lightly tap the surface to click, since the mouse has so many other touch gestures. That would help a lot. Forget about soft surfaces. It's absolutely impossible, because clicking requires so much force. No mouseing on the couch or bed with this. Touch gestures are iffy. Scrolling responds right away every time, which is nice, but there's little accuracy and it's hard to control the speed. Windows 8 edge swipes are okay, but require you to be careful to keep the mouse stationery while you swipe and that's not all that easy. So sadly this awesome-looking mouse is going back. Maybe someone who never wants to use a soft surface would appreciate it more, or someone who was really hardly going to use it more than 30 minutes a day? In the end I ended up being much more satisfied with the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse which store flat but snaps into an ergonomic position. Still super light and small, but, none of the difficulties I mentioned above.
