madstork: If you mean "Were there advantages", then not really. I did like the super smooth wheel though.. it made weapon switching crazy easy. Once you get used to it, and learn to not pick up the mouse at ALL, then it's ok.

veeSPIKE: Welcome to the forums, and thanks for the comments. Thanks for clarifying about the mouse wheel, I had no idea the MS Mouse had it.

As for the gaming aspect, I agree. The main problem I had "was" lifting the mouse off the desk. I tend to move the mouse too close to the edge of the desk while playing, so it's a habit to lift it and put it back, and that's where it kicked my butt.

That's interesting about you having to file down the mouse for the button to work. That's definitely the first time I have heard of that problem.

Thanks for the comments guys!
