The product is usable, I expected a bit more.

The third such mouse in use. She still lives at work, the second one is dying at home. The wheel starts to turn in place, and twitch when scrolling in any direction, if in browsers this is tolerable for some time, then for example in engineering programs this is the main zoom mechanism, you cannot work without it.
The rubber has peeled off. The painted spider cracked. Writing macros turned out to be not the easiest entertainment, I had to seriously tinker, especially considering a number of jambs in the files of the Oscar Mouse program. In the end, that's it, I won't buy A4tech again. Changing a gaming mouse once a year is wasteful.

Pros

While it was new it worked great. Additional buttons are enough for most games.

Cons

The wheel dies after six months. The rubber pad under the thumb peeled off even earlier, it was stuck on some kind of glue, such as thick carpentry. The software seems fine at first until you try to write the macro yourself. The non-disableable horizontal scrolling feature is really infuriating.
