This mouse is very light weight. I plugged it in, and it was instantly compatible with my custom mouse settings (I have a Mac). Somehow it seems "faster" than my standard Apple wired mouse, but maybe it's just because it's so light weight. Despite the light weight, it does not feel cheap or cheesy to me. The wire is also much longer than the wire on the standard Apple mouse. I had to use an extension on my Apple mouse, and I have wire to spare with this one.
The scrolling action is via a wheel, not a ball. Therefore, scrolling is only vertical, and not horizontal. I didn't think that horizontal scrolling was worth paying at least an additional (...). Whether the wheel is a positive or a negative is very much based on personal preference, and some users may not like the limits imposed by this particular design. You can click down on the wheel to make your widgets visible, just like clicking on the scroll ball on the Apple mouse.
There are no side buttons on this mouse. I found the side buttons to be annoying and had them disabled on the Apple mouse anyway, so that's not a problem as far as I am concerned. If you really like the side buttons, be aware that you won't find them here.
Only negative so far: The click sound is really loud. It's a bit annoying.
Based on the five-year warranty, I am hopeful that this mouse will have a long and useful life. All indications at this juncture are positive. The cost is also a plus, as it is much more affordable than the standard Apple wired mouse, and it seems to work just as well.
