In the end the CM Mizar is still ruling the roost of my desktop. My past favorite has taken a backseat for a bit to allow the new top dog to settle in. Although with my small hands I tend to prefer mice a little smaller than this one, I'm very happy with the fit and most happy with the feel of the mouse itself. The flat paint has a nice dry texture that remains dry even with long hours of use. The LED in the palm stays relatively cool with the pulsing mode keeping things from getting warm back there. I have found even with LEDs, in some mice, having a glowing logo can be pretty warm. The rubber grips on the side of the mouse are great for grip. They can get a little tacky with sweat but they don't become slippery; you still have full control of the mouse at the end of the long final boss fight. The mouse isn't adjustable weight wise, beyond your own modifications, but it seems to be the right balance of light and heavy despite my first judgment out of the box. This truly is a great mouse for gaming, as it claims, and makes out quite nice because of that in all other activities.
