The so-called "gaming mouse" has evolved into a niche product. Gamers always demand the latest and best computer stuff, so why would they use a mouse designed for office tasks. Logitech has some great gaming mice out, at a premium price. Microsoft decided to join the party, but their attempt seems to fizzle.
Microsoft has, in general, made pretty good mice. This is one of its worst. It's as if someone in the marketing department saw all these gaming mice in Best Buy and CompUSA from Logitech and Razer and decided Microsoft needed to make one, so they took it upon themselves to design the whole thing themselves. It seems obvious that no gamer ever really tested this thing. The mouse is not comfortable to hold, doesn't move nearly as smoothly and accurately as other laser-powered mice, is too lightweight, and has terrible side button placement. The surface is shiny and smooth in a way that looks kind of neat in photos, but becomes annoyingly slick if your hands get a little sweaty in an intense gaming session.
