We like:
Three programmable buttons; 1,600dpi sensor; easy-to-use software
We don't like:
Uncomfortable for left- and right-handed users; button to change sensitivity is just out of reach when gaming and isn't programmable
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Saitek 1600dpi Desktop Gaming Mouse suffers from an awkward design and odd button placement, but its programmable buttons and sensitivity adjustment make it a viable budget-price option for gamers

The humble mouse is an oft-undervalued PC peripheral. Many of us are happy to chug along using the basic models that are bundled with our PCs, but there are a number of third-party alternatives that can increase productivity, gaming accuracy and comfort
