well ****. I got a used mouse in the mail rather than the brand new one I paid for. mouse feet had dimples in it and scratches and were worn and it was quite dirty and dusty. not going to use this one, have to wait for a replacement. that ruined my week
update:
got it today, new one with nice and smooth feet! it's actually really nice and solid feeling, sensor is great.
BUT, darn. the LOD is crazy high. I even have 1.2mm Puretrak HD mousefeet ON TOP of the original ones. will have to see if tape trick works okay with this one. I really do like how it feels though. clicks are awesome. shape is nice, size is perfect for me. (kind of fingertip gripper, bit larger hands) had a kinzu v2 pro before but it was too narrow even when using only fingertip grip.
I highly recommend this one if you can deal with the LOD somehow. I need to get used to it for sure but the general impressions I have are really great.
