Zalman Computer Laser Gaming Mouse (ZM-GM1)

Clearly channeling the RAT, this mouse has adjustability that rivals all but the top-tier RAT line and for a much more modest price tag. the fittings on this are also stiffer and less likely to give when handled harshly during intense gameplay. I definitely prefer this to every RAT I've tried for these and other reasons.I go with a big, wide grip by preference and this is the first mouse I've used since I grew adult-sized hands that can be adjusted to be *too big* for even me! It can be adjusted on both the left and right sides, plus the palm rest can be raised and lowered. If you have larger than average hands this alone makes this mouse worthwhile. The fine control over the left and right sides, plus the curvature chosen for them, make it overall quite comfortable to grip and move.The wheel has a nice tactile feel; it moves easily without being too easy with an almost perfect amount of tension. There are no buttons near enough to it that I have to worry about accidental presses either.Speaking of accidental adjustment, the position of the DPI sensitivity adjusting button is excellently chosen and absolutely impossible for me to hit by mistake. You would think that this would be a given but a surprising number of mice have this button too near either button1 or the thumb rest.The look is also quite attractive; the placement of the adjustable weights and the window to view them is pleasant and assures that there won't be any awkward moments during gameplay when the mouse hits your desk and weights start sliding out (yes, this happened to me with a Logitech mouse more than once).It's not all wine and roses, I do find some small imperfections.The momentary-press switch on the left side near the thumb grip is a bit off for my grip style; I would have preferred it up and towards the rear of the mouse to avoid accidental pressing. That said, it takes enough force to press that I can see after growing used to it the chances of mistakes like this will become very small.If you adjust the palm rest quite far out you will find that the edges of it are more squared-off than rounded and are less than ideally comfortable. Not a huge problem, but a more rounded edge, especially at the very back, would be nicer. This is in fact the sole source of my removing one star; I can't use this mouse with a tight grip for hours at a time without some discomfort.

I am a casual gamer. I do go to some LAN’s but mainly I game at home.That being said, I wanted a wired mouse with some cool factor. This mouse had all the buttons and features that I was looking for and then some.When I bought it, I didn’t realize how customizable it was. I played around with it until it fit my hand perfectly. I love the weight and feel of it while gaming. Over all, performance wise I have no complaints. It fits my gaming and everyday use perfectly.The wow factor of this mouse is awesome. All my guests have asked meabout it. I’m going to a LAN next month, I am interested to see people’s reactions there.

Ultimate Gamer's MouseI love this mouse. It is has complete customization. You can change its size to fit your hand and the weights to fit your style. I love the smooth game play I get out of it. I am a huge FPS player. I mainly play CounterStrike, TF2, and Battlefield 4. This mouse is perfect for them.I really like the look of it. I know style is not that important to a mouse, but this is freaking awesome. Its futuristic look doesn't interfere with its purpose of being a kick butt gaming mouse.If you are a serious gamer then this mouse is for you.

I'm searching for a replacement for my R.A.T. 7 that I've used for years. It was a great mouse, but then the company had problems and went bankrupt. Tried a Corsair - no way, too small. Tried a Zalman, but it's just okay.Pros: adjustable, tracks with precision nicely.Cons: feels cheap. The left thumb buttons (fwd / bk) are really cheap feeling. The RMB clicks easier than the LMB. Once you extend the sides and extend the palm, there's a lot of give and movement in the parts. It fits my large hands, but if this got dropped (which it will) it would likely break.

3.5-4 Stars - Poweruser/casual gamer should find this mouse worth trying/usingResponsiveness, style, looks, adjustable weight, ++Adjustable width/length are a great feature. I love that I can add the weights provided in various weights (grams) to suit my tastes. Button placement is comfortable enough, those near the right-thumb could be moved forward a bit to less stretch, but that's not really a reducing factor. Adjustable speeds are nice, though I really only use one speed as I don't run any games like an FPS where I need such minute adjustments that require me to change speeds.Dislike: those little legs/wings. I don't think with all the gaming I've done over the years that the contacts my thumb makes with the mousepad has ever bothered me. I find that my grip on the mouse is lessened with these little wings which can be a bit of a nuisance if/when I need to lift the mouse. We all need to adjust at some point.Perhaps in a future model they could include some sort of an indentation above the wings to allow for a better grip, perforated for airflow is VERY appreciated.

I love the mouse! Very precise adjusted to a comfortable fit, with easy actuation of all buttons. The adjustment tool is a bit fiddly. But the tool works good enough and tucks away nicely. The software is easy to use and really needs know instructions. The mouse feels solid and like it is going to last awhile.

No resting place for thumb. It's got a little weight to it but there is too little resistance when moving. It's hard to be precise without a little resistance.The novelty wore off in about a week. I'm still using this mouse because it does work, but I'm not any happier with it than a regular mouse.

I thought 50$ was a bit much for a chinese gaming mouse but I decided to try it, seeing aas it's got good reviews, was customizable and looked cool. It works pretty good, took a little getting used to but no problem ... until I noticed the mouse wheel was acting up. When I scroll down, it will jitter slightly, like it scrolls up and then back down. I updated the driver and tried cleaning the sensor with rubbing alcohol, to no avail. It's a very decent mouse and maybe I'm just unlucky but that mouse wheel problem really bothers me. I wouldn't buy another one like that, not at that price.

por el precio no hay nada mejor... como solución al problema de configurar botones, solo utilicen el software que viene con el mouse (sí, el CD), si usan el de la pag. de zalman no funcionan las configuraciones de botones (no se porque)Actualización... Despues de casi un mes de uso el scroll del mouse empezó a fallar, el mouse es muy bonito y una vez q logras encontrar el ajuste ideal es perfecto, pero en mi caso tuve mala suerte y falló el scroll, aún así le daría una oportunidad si aún no se deciden.

As a gaming mouse, you are expected to click very often. This mouse requires so much strength just to make a left click. After a day of use, I went back to my old mouse. My finger was exhausted midway and can't even double click anymore.The adjustable backend doesn't just extend, it also rises up while extending, making it awkward if you just want a longer mouse.

Hasta ahora ningún problema mas que el hecho de que el click secundario parece estar ligeramente flojo...Eso y el hecho de que el Software para configurar los botones no funciona, dado que ninguna configuración mas que la de fabrica se activa, intente cambiar los diferentes perfiles para ajustarse a mi uso pero sin ningún logro hasta el momentoPero de ahí en fuera es buen mouse

Everything about this mouse is great. It could adjust its size to perfectly fit my big hand, it's construction is solid with lots of metal parts and the performance is beyond satisfactory.
