> 3 dayThe bottom of the click buttons have sharp edges that rub along side of the hands and almost feel like they are sharp enough to cut. After some long term use it causes irritation along the 3rd finger for me.

Greater than one weekThis is an excellent accessory for anyone who has as HP Omen computer -- or for anyone, really. The Omen control software does a great job, and having the charging pad on it is a great help.

A Gamer at Heart
> 3 dayThere is plenty to like about this mouse. Obviously, it is wireless, which is fantastic. I sometimes get a bit OCD about the cable from my wired mouse either dragging on my gaming pad, or getting hung up on the back of my desk. Wireless simply equals freedom. The other thing to like is the lag free performance. If there is any lag, it is imperceptible by me. I play primarily shooters, and the Omen was just as responsive as my wireless mouse. I also like how modular the mouse is - buttons can be removed or added to allow a high level of customization. The mouse also looks great. As a potential downside, since the mouse is wireless you will either have to charge it, or spring for a charging pad. Its not a deal breaker for me, because I also use a wireless gaming headset that I simply charge overnight between gaming sessions. Charging between sessions isnt really a big deal if you dont want to pay for a charging pad. Im really on the fence about whether I like the Omens construction material. Its plastic obviously, but I find it kind of sticky on my hand. Compared to my G502, it feels almost tacky, whereas the G502 feels smooth like silk. I also prefer the ergonomics of the G502. I love the G502 because it fits my palm perfectly and with its thumb rest, almost feels custom made for my hand. The Omen thankfully has thumb rests, but it isnt shaped quite as comfortably as the G502. This is entirely subjective of course because it depends on the size of your hand (I have probably medium sized hands for a male.) With the Omens modular design, however, you probably have a better chance of a perfect fit since you can go with a thumb rest, or without if you prefer a claw grip. The Omen offers a wireless mouse made for gaming with plenty of customization options. I think its biggest draw back is the price. $130 is a bit steep. It really comes down to whether you are willing to pay a premium to go wireless. If the answer is yes, the Omen is a great choice.

> 3 dayThis is a serious mouse for serious gamers. From the moment you take it out of the box, you can tell. It’s a big, heavy mouse with unlimited potential to make it a perfect fit for the individual user. Things that I felt were noteworthy: · It’s wireless, of course. I charged it with a standard wireless charger I had around (QI certified) with no problem. I saw where there is a special charging pad available, which those who spend large amounts of time might want to consider; you would never run out of power! · It does have a micro-USB adapter (port is on the front). · The dongle for it is nice and small. · You can adjust your DPI during use. As you make selections, the color on the mouse changes. Kind of cool. · You can’t adjust the length, but the flanges on the sides are removable. I happen to like the flanges, as I tend to use a “claw grip” when I’m using the mouse. With the flanges in place, I don’t get that irritating thumb drag. And the flanges are different sizes and changeable depending on whether you’re left or right handed. · Out of the box, the 2 buttons on the left side are already installed. I added an extra 2 on the right side (all parts included) to give me the full 11 button options. This mouse is smooth. I don’t think I’ve ever used one quite like it. Again, if you’re serious about gaming, this mouse may be for you.

Greater than one weekIm more of Logitech fan regarding PC peripherals however I took this one as a secondary mouse for my rebuild hp OMEN X900 system . I was pleasantly suppressed how smooth and nice this mouse feels could easily become my primary mouse however I still like the idea of constant charging while gaming like on my G903 Powerplay mouse and pad . Otherwise it really looks and feels premium and it is fast thats for sure .

> 3 dayThe best mouse I’ve ever owned. And I’ve had a handful. The battery last very very long time. It’s comfortable. Just enough buttons. The removable magnetic side pieces are awesome. Great quality. I love it. Don’t worry about these bad reviews. Buy it and don’t look back.
