Well I'm coming from a MX518, and I found it just a little bit too small for my liking(I have big fingers). From the first impressions, the mouse actually felt smaller than the MX518. Then I broke open the packaging and tested the size against the MX, and it is quite a bit larger than the MX.
The mouse buttons are wider as they are separate from the mouse(they can be lifted up by my fingers) making a more natural feel. More of the Razer's Boomslang or Copperhead. Also the wheel is made of a gripped rubber material, and over all feels way more natural compared to most of the other mouse wheels.
The changeable thumb buttons is a good idea, but I figured the original thumb buttons work well enough for me. I really can't comment on the software as it won't detect my mouse. As benplaut said, there's ton of bugged firmware issues so I'm not the only one that is experiencing these problems.
This is more in-depth on the extra buttons and features(light pipe, dpi buttons). The dpi buttons are not placed in a good spot as they require you to move your middle finger or wheel finger off of the wheel and into this little hole. The light pipe is much brighter on the left side compared to the right side, but the wheel is still brighter than them all!!1 The thumb buttons are the real problem for me, as I have a few crucial macros mapped to them(reload, duck, voice chat). They are placed too high and in a very awkward spot because they're trying to follow the Logitech mouse design.
Ok gaming performance and :camera:'s! With the middle finger controlling the wheel only, I have been able to get over 10 extra kills in a round of Counter Strike Source. In COD 2, there's little to no difference. Gmod again has no real gains because I build. Ok, :camera:'s(sorry some of them are blurry as my camera is sh!tty):1<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbar...albums/b299/potato28/habu005.jpg--</a>"><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbar...m/albums/b299/potato28/habu005.jpg</a></a>

Rating: Ergonomics: 9.5
Size: 8
Movement: 10
CLIFFS: Really good mouse
Thumb buttons just a little out of place
Other than that perfect. Hope you like it AT.
BIG EDIT! : After the software update from Razer and the firmware update from MS, the software works with the mouse! And it actually works much better once the updated firmware is applied
