About the new MS wireless mice....

Ok, if anyone has ever used one of the new microsoft wireless mice, did you like the feel of it?

Comparing it to a MX500 or MX700 it feels so much better! Fits my hand perfect and is lightweight.
BUT!
I would never buy this because:

-The scroll wheel does not click! It just rolls with no stops, this is not a very good thing for gaming.
-There really aren't any extra buttons (besides the scroll wheel being able to move left and right, which I dont beleive games can even use this yet).
-Its wirelesss.

Ok, in short, I love the feel of these MS mice, so very much. But I could never purchase one due to the things mentioned above. If only MS could custom make me a mouse...
Well, looks like I'll be buying a Logitech soon.
 
I haven't found a single use for the scroll wheel going left and right. That's something you should get a bigger, higher res monitor to avoid. I have no problems with my mx700. Also, Logitech isn't done improving their mice. The mx510 isn't too old, and they have an mx1000 around the corner (laser, 20x more precise). Both make great mice, but I tend to prefer Logitech.
 
The smooth-scrolling actually doesn't bother me in games. I thought it'd screw everything up, but it works fine. I like mine a lot (I have the wired version though), but I wish the side buttons were a little better (the front one is too hard to push easily).
