wireless mice

A very nice improvement on their "studio" mouse which I liken to a sandal with buttons, the Pilot has a decent feel to it and actually looks kind of cool. The problem is that it still uses regular batteries. Rechargable is the way to go, plus you can boost the refresh rate of it so the location data is updated more often and accurately (for those gamers and photoshop people out there). They have to sacrifice DPI quality (how often and how fine movement data is transmitted) to save power on batteries. If they didnt, your AA's would last about 3 days.

Here's data I got from their website and my comments on each in brackets:

-Work without hesitation, delay or interference thanks to QuickRF™ wireless technology. (Could we stand it any other way? This is the standard in all cordless mice, not the exception.)

-Programmable buttons and award-winning MouseWorks® software reduce repetitive tasks to a single click. (I don't know about MAC's but in Windows, you can program any button to do whatever you want and that is without using vendor mouse software)

-Unique shape and design provide ultimate control and comfort for right-handed users. (sweet, as long as you're right handed)

-DiamondEye™ optical technology for unmatched acceleration control and ultra-high-speed tracking. (hmm, something i like)

-Four mouse buttons and scroll wheel, scroll wheel is also 5th button. (standard on all mice that cost over 5 bucks)

-Guaranteed to work right out of the box with PC and Mac. (Imagine if a company was to claim that they don't guarantee to work out of box? "Gee Maam, sorry.. we dont guarantee their all gonna work. Maybe you should buy another and try again."

-5-year warranty and free technical support. (nice)

Overall not too bad, but you can do better than this. I would like to recommend the Logitech MX700 instead of this. Look at em both side by side and see who copied who, as well as what was left out: On mouse low battery warning light, higher DPI rating, rechargability.
