I decided on this mouse after a careful and long selection. It was to replace the brilliantly designed but horribly unreliable and malfunctioning Viper V570. It is significant that the Viper has been replaced by the Anaconda. My request was mainly about the many buttons, as I play mostly simulators and strategy games and am used to having all the important buttons literally at my fingertips. But even frenetic shooters can be played with it just fine (tested on Stalker and Project Brutality for DOOM II). An overpriced competitor from Razer was leaving me cold. But apart from Razer there is not such a selection of multi-button mice. That's why Anaconda was the obvious choice. I was worried that it would take me a long time to get used to her, but during a brief touching I was pleased to discover that we would soon become friends. Overall, the mouse feels very sturdy. The side panels with buttons look very cheap and wobbly in the photos, but it's not, which is only good. Everything fits as it should. No squeaking or knocking. The side buttons also have a feel-good grip. So do the buttons below the scroll wheel. I really like to use these because of the comfortable placement. It's worse with the mice. I have read before that the switches chosen tend to be noisy. But that TOOOLIK, I really didn't imagine. The clicking sound is really not pleasant and I consider it probably the biggest minus of the whole mouse, because it is really annoying. Another annoyance I have with the right mouse button. It often happens to me that I spontaneously "sink" when my hand is loosely on the mouse. It happens quite often, so every now and then I close an unintentionally opened menu bar. It's not so much annoying when playing, but especially when surfing. There is a similar problem with the side panel. I have girly hands with long fingers, and the side panel doesn't really provide any space for their length where you can "rest" your thumb. And mine always ends up twisted at button 4, I solved it by just turning it off. I still have plenty of active buttons left. This is just a design reminder for possible future models. Another complaint I would have is the balance - I like heavy mice, they suit me, but all the weight is placed in the back of the mouse and when I move the mouse back and forth on the pad, it rolls backwards and handling it is then very uncomfortable and tends to slip out of my fingers. I rate the developed software as excellent. It really gives you all the options you need to customize the mouse to your style. You can see that someone was thinking, or it was an experienced player. Even the buttons under the scroll wheel can be freely reconfigured. For that a BIG BRAVO! This was very pleasing, it is not standard. If one of the developers working on the software is reading this review, I have two small suggestions: Add the ability to put a quick icon in "hidden icons". Maybe I missed something, but I just couldn't get it in there. And, if possible, set up a quick profile switching option. I use one profile for classic surfing and office work and the other is purely gaming. But I always forget to switch them before starting the game, and alt tabbing is often risky in scare games, for example. These are small things, but with them the software would not have the slightest fault. And how is the mouse's reliability? I dare not say yet, I've been using it for over a month. But so far it's working like a well-oiled machine. There has never been any double-clicking, skipping scroll buttons and similar known ailments. I really wish it would stay that way, because despite a few unpleasant details, the mouse surprised me very pleasantly and I definitely don't regret my choice.
