At first I wanted a mouse with lots of buttons, but when I saw that this mouse had a cool LED backlight, I went for this one. The lights look so cool, they are very bright and vibrant. The mouse feels great in the hand and is better than my cheap wireless mouse. I like programmable buttons and use them to play different games like Minecraft. It also looks really cool on my desk. I'm not sure what makes a gaming mouse a gaming mouse, but this mouse makes me feel like a pro. I would recommend this mouse to anyone looking to add a little bling to their setup.
