5 out of 5 stars Great Design   April 6, 2008

Unlike other gaming mice i've owned, the Ikari seems to add all the best features and leaves-out all the annoying ones others like to bundle-in.

I finally have the right balance of physical and software controls I've been wanting. I'm not sure who develops their drivers and technologies, but I feel like I have more accuracy and the mouse aims exactly where I want it be, and not where the computer thinks I'm aiming at.

The grip is made of a great material, and ergonomic layout is perfect.

Seems like every LAN and event I go to, SteelSeries is there or donates prizes . . . that's how I found-out about them. Nice support of the gaming community! Seems like others never give back, then try to copy SteelSeries' innovations (but fail).



5 out of 5 stars Great Ergonomic Mouse for general right hand use   September 17, 2008

As a professional ergonomist (but not a gamer), I judge the overall ergonomics benefits of this mouse far far outweigh the negative (especially for gaming) of it being somewhat difficult to lift up for repositioning. It has become my mouse of choice, and I have tried many many mice. The thumb support and 4th finger and pinky support along with it's general contours, sensitivity control and well positioned Back button, put this mouse ahead of all or almost all other mice on the market. I would strongly recommend this mouse to most right handed computer users. I suggest that the mouse be marketed to the broader market (not just gaming market) as an excellent "Ergonomic Mouse," which it is.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent for Photoshop, Illustrator, and 3DS Max   April 9, 2010

I have been using Microsoft and Logitech mice for past many years - Just recently I changed the position of my Cisco-Linksys closer router to my system and my Wireless Mouse 8000 started giving me problems, like, when WiFi was in use the mouse cursor starts to slowdown and scrolling and pointing became sluggish. I do not play any games on my System (I have a PS3!). I wanted to go for a wired mouse instead of wireless this time, and started browsing YouTube and other review sites, including Amazon.com. Finally I made a decision and bought this last week and to be really honest and frank, it actually feels much better than the Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 (although I use the MS Laser 8K at home).

I normaly use Visual Studio, Photoshop, After Effects and other graphic and development tools and I needed a perfect mouse for my needs and this is by far the best one I experienced. I tried Logitech's mice, Microsoft Mice, but never Steelseries. Combined this mouse with the SX Mouse pad and it's a match made in heaven.

When in Photoshop & Illustrator I usually use my Wacom tablet but there are some tasks, like scanning colour correcting and small things - I use a mouse. I have created a profile for Photoshop & Illustrator in Software (since the hotkeys are almost the same in Illustrator & Photoshop) and use the other mouse buttons for my needs.

Summary:
In my opionion this is a good mouse, I do not know why Steelseries are just concentrating on gamers, however, Developers and Power-Users can still benafit from this mouse. It is great for Graphic/Video Editing/Compositing/Etc when you need very accurate and pixel by pixel movement. I would certianly recommend this mouse to anyone who plans to buy a new mouse for Photoshop, After Effects, Premier, Illustrator, or any other CAD software. Combine this with the SX Mouse pad and you are good to go.

This is a great solid gaming mouse, after using this i find it irritating when using other peoples computers which seem sluggish. A bit expensive, but it is accurate, and the most comfortable mouse ever.

My Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse quit charging, so I had to find a replacement. I play a fair amount of WoW, and this mouse works great for it. It's nice enough that I'm considering buying one to use at work too.

I paired it with a Razer eXactMat and eXactRest Bundle - Mouse Pad and Wrist Rest and it's amazingly smooth. Barely any effort for quick precise movements. Plus the precision is adjustable without software. This mouse doesn't have all the fancy features of some of the competitors. It's simple, with just what you need. I can't recommend it more.
