It's a namebrand optical 5 button mouse with a limited lifetime warranty.

If all you do is click furiously on emoticons, you will eventually wear out one of the buttons.

Hey, that's my mouse. 🙂

Overall, it works fine for basic stuff, web browsing, I like the feel of the scroll wheel better than the Logitech entry-level USB optical scroll mice. (Those seemed to have a different point where the mechanical wheel registered a "click", vs. where the software thought that it did. On this one, they seem to match up better.)

There are a couple of minor downsides, the sides slope outward, kind of like a pyramid, so if you're the type that tends to grip the sides of the mouse to hold it, especially during FPS gaming, and tend to pick it up and put it back down, then this is probably not the mouse for you. I do play with the "pick up" style, and the mouse seems to slip right out of my hands, it's hard to get a good grip on the sloping sides. I have reasonably big hands, and the overall feel of the mouse is decent, and the buttons are easy to press, although I sometimes accidentally hit the side buttons when trying to pick up and move the mouse. The other minor disadvantage to gaming, is that this appears to only be a 400DPI optical, unlike some of the other Belkin mice that advertise 800DPI. There is no mention of the DPI at all on the back of the box on mine, but it has exactly half of the DPI of my old Dell-branded OEM Logitech "dove bar" PS/2 ball mouse, which had 800DPI. This is most noticable when you try to make a shot with the sniper rifle zoomed-in in UT. With a lower DPI, it's hard to aim precisely. So I still use my ball mouse for gaming purposes, over this one.

The other downside is, just from normal usage starting after about three months, the shiny metallic-looking paint has nearly completely rubbed off on the rear part of the mouse where my hand rests on it, revealing the drab grey plastic underneath. I don't care about the asthetics, only that oftentimes, these Made in China products use a lead-based paint. I'm slightly concerned that I absorbed it through my hand, it didn't flake off in any noticable way, more like my hand buffed it off during use.

But for a basic web-browsing kind of mouse, it's quite comfortable to use. I don't get any noticable strain from using it, which is nice, and it has USB and PS/2 connectors, also nice. Even after ~6 months of total usage, neither of the buttons has any noticable wear to them either.
