Husband loves this mouse. Originally bought it for me, I liked it for gaming, but size-wise it's awkward for me, and makes my wrist hurt over time. Great performance, though!

Just an FYI, if you're only interested in the mouse-- you'll pay about 6.25 for their discount (8-10 day) shipping service!

Still, even so, not a bad price on this gaming mouse.

I hate this stupid mouse. I paid less for it about a year ago, and even that was too much. No other mouse is so jittery. I'm not talking about the reasonably high DPI. No, if you try to draw a diagonal line across the screen, the cursor will randomly jump up to 8 pixels to the left and right. Selecting a small thing becomes guess work with this kind of noise. Even cheap mice aren't this bad, and this is supposed to be a gaming mouse. I kept thinking this was a driver issue, but then I finally gave up and bought a Razer product from Moofi. No regrets there.

@lump1: Did you check the bottom of the mouse where the laser is to see if it was clean of dust, hair, etc? All it takes is a single hair in the wrong place and your mouse will do exactly what you're describing. Used to happen to me a lot when I lived with a cat.

i haven't used the mouse but i haven't ever heard of a professional or even hardcore (i mean 8 hours a day training for a pro-scene) gamer use microsoft mouses. I see a lot of Razer, Steel Series, the occasional Logitech. I rarely see the sidewinder. I understand it might be great, but if the gaming proscense endorses and uses mice that aren't in this family of mouse i don't see the reason to not drop about 10$ more and get a refurb razer or steel series that have about +3000 / +4000 dpi on them. To me it just doesn't seem like it would be useful to use a mouse with that amount of dpi, its about 1200 dpi above the usual $5 logitech usb mouse which is around 800 dpi (says on the package that my family had bought a bit back). Infact it makes some sense that a mouse with this amount of DPI might start jumping and not going exactly straight with the slightest bit of dirt on the mouse. I'm not saying the mouse is bad, i'm saying the way its described doesn't really semm fit for hard play.

@Hunter806,
just look for the coupon code at the top of the page from the woot! link: In this case it is "freeship". All or most woots! will have a coupon for shipping!

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
