The fact that this mouse costs nearly as much, or maybe even as much as a mechanical keyboard is quite unsavory.
At least you can justify the purchase of a mechanical keyboard.

This mouse has an inherent design flaw. It has skates on the front and the sides, but no rear skate, causing the mouse to tilt back and drag on the pad. This is an remarkably flawed design.

I disagree. The side skates go all the way to the back of the mouse. It also has interchangeable parts. It's neat but more than I want to spend on a mouse. Logitech G5 for life... haha

I'm not assuming that this is a flaw. This has already been commented on by testers. It is a noted design flaw.

What is the wireless technology? The term is hyper-linked to another page lacking explanation.

Jesus, Razer has gone mad with their prices lately. I'm still using my Diamondback 3G but was wondering what a left ergonomic mouse would cost these days, I sure hope they don't start eliminating their other cheaper alternatives or I'll have to change brand in the future.
