Performance When I first placed my hand on the device, I was pleased with how well the contours fit. At first it seemed to be perfectly designed. But as I started to use the device, I began to notice a hollow feeling. It almost made an otherwise well built device feel cheap. Not only did the feeling itself turn me off, but it caused problems in the performance of the mouse as the lack of weight allowed the mouse to be incredibly sensitive to movements and hard to control at times. This especially was a problem when using the device while on the move such as in a plane or train were shifting and movement frequently occur or when playing games where precise movements are necessary. I understand that a portable device needs to be lightweight and easy to carry, but this should never be sacrificed for feel. There was a lot of hollow space inside the unit itself. A few weights here and there would have made a heckuva difference for me. So if portability and ease of use are top on your criteria list, then this may be the mouse for you. It's also fairly inexpensive. But if twitchy mouses annoy you, especially if you plan on using it on a plane, train, or automobile, then you might want to tread with caution, or leave the work till you get somewhere a bit more stable.
