I really like the looks of this mouse. I like having extra buttons because I have problems hitting the wrong buttons on the keyboard in panics. I am curious though, will the OLED screen be able to run other programs? I went from my Logitech keyboard and loved the afterburner monitoring on the screen. I didn't read the whole article so maybe it mentioned it. If so this may replace my razer.

I can't say it's a bad mouse, time will show, but i don't think that it should be classified as gurus recommended, price is high also hardcore gamers who buys these kind of mouses usually buy corded/wired or i don't know something?

"hardcore gamers who buys these kind of mouses usually buy corded/wired " I dont think that someone can tell a difference between a wired and a good wireless mouse these days.

OK, let's compare features against the Logitech G700, which is the main competitor for this mouse.
First off, the buttons: I don't like the button placement on this mouse compared to the G700. IMHO the Logitech G700 is laid out much better with four thumb buttons and three programmable buttons on the front-left side, with only one under the palm (plus a dedicated free-scrolling/click-scrolling mouse wheel toggle switch that does not act as a mouse button). I don't like buttons under the palm because it feels unnatural and uncomfortable to have to tuck your finger back like that. Also, the G700 has 3 more programmable buttons than this mouse has.
The OLED screen "POD" is just plain unnecessary (especially if you already have a smartphone with a monitoring/control app!). In games my eyes need to be on the monitor screen(s). Any other display device is superfluous. It's an unnecessary luxury at best and a distraction at worst.
However, one feature this mouse has that the G700 does not is the retractable charging cable built into the POD. That's a actually a pretty good feature as it will unclutter your desktop a bit by coiling up that cable nice and neat. The G-700 doesn't have that feature though in my experience it's really not much of an issue. While it would be nice to have, it's not really a necessity. When I have my G700 in wireless mode, I just lay the charging cable off to the side or up under the monitor in front of the stand where it's out of the way.
Also, that "POD" going to be one more thing taking up space on your desk/table. That's fine if you have a lot of space but many people have limited desk/table space.
