Performance
At 1600 resolution, the mouse performs great for gaming and design work, but you may need to adjust the speed of the movement. I found that at 1600 resolution, the pointer will fly across the screen much faster than at lower settings at the same speed. I also had to adjust the mouse movement in my games to compensate for the high resolution. The software that comes with the mouse also allows you to adjust the acceleration of the pointer. The acceleration of the mouse is when you move the mouse faster the pointer will travel a farther distance on the screen than it would if you moved the mouse the same amount but at a slower speed. This is a nice thing to be able to adjust, especially in gaming because too much acceleration can cause you to overshoot your target in FPS games if you move the mouse too quickly.
The three side buttons are in a great place so that you don't inadvertently hit them while gaming but at the same time they are easily pressed with your thumb if you need to use them. Which brings me to another point; this mouse is strictly for right handed persons. I do not know if Ideazon makes a lefty model but the ergonomic design of the mouse is modeled to a right handed person. I tried holding the mouse with my left hand and it just does not fit properly. A left handed person using this mouse will have the palm of their hand at an awkward arch and the left side of the palm rests squarely on the three programmable buttons so that they would constantly be pressing them by mistake.
For a right handed person, this is a fantastic mouse for fast action gaming and for precision graphics work as well. I have used the mouse for creating web graphics with high detail and the mouse made it much easier to draw outlines and gave me much more control over fine detail coloring and shading. If you do a lot of high resolution work with Adobe Photoshop, this is a really great mouse for that kind of work.

Ideazon Reaper Gaming Mouse
The Reaper is probably the best precision mouse I have tried so far and will definitely give the Razer a run for its money - but just check for a left handed model if you need one first.
Pros: Super smooth and precise response, seven programmable buttons and resolution adjustments on the fly.
Cons: Not well suited for left-handers.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
