This is quite a mouse. I'm a photographer and can spend many hours a week at the computer developing photos, making slideshows, etc. While I do use an extra gaming keyboard (RazerOrbweaver) for lots of keyboard shortcuts, I have all the buttons on this Spatha programmed as well; +- values, special scrolling, etc. And, you can do several profiles and this thing knows to auto swap to the settings for the active program. I keep the DPI switch set to a faster (get things done) setting and then, in one click, I slow it down for the fine work.
This is a big mouse, and a bit heavy, but I actually like that. I've gone from more of a fingertip user to more of a palm user and it's become more comfortable for me to work a long time, and the weight just seems to add to the quality feel and handling. One drawback-at first-was not being able to easily pick it up due to the button placement, at least without pushing a button. But now I do it without thinking about it. And, though it took a little getting use to, I'm now using all the side 6 buttons, and the extra 2 on the top left, regularly without hunting. Click feel on all the buttons is very good. This mouse glides quite nicely too, on a quality pad.
I would almost take off one star just because it's a pricey mouse but I'm feeling now, after a couple months of use, that it's worth it.
Battery life is good for what I do. I don't know about gamers, but for me, with 3-6 hours of routine mouse use a day, I usually get a couple days before I think to check the charge level. Then I just through it on the handy charger overnight, and I'm good for a couple more days.
Last, though it doesn't matter really to me, this is not only a comfortable mouse, it's pretty sharp looking too.
Highly recommended for sure.
