Trust Gaming 20411 GXT 155 Caldor Gaming Mouse, Black

I was skeptical about this mouse, the price sounded like too good to be true but it delivered features beyond my initial expectation, the quality and the level of customization is amazing, the ergonomics are top-notch, frankly speaking I've been gratefully surprised about this product. I'll be looking for more products of this brand.

I'm not a gamer, I am a software engineer. During my day I repeat some combinations of mouse clicks and keyboard actions many times. Combinations like "double-click at mouse position, copy/paste to/from clipboard". I wanted to combine those combinations to single macros/keystrokes on the mouse. In addition, I cannot have the mouse insist on being connected to the Internet all of the time as happens with the Razer devices because the network of the company I work for is constantly filtering network traffic. Those are the reasons I chose this mouse. Additionally, I have a tremor in my hands which makes it difficult to press individual buttons when they are small such as when there are 12 buttons on the side of the mouse. The Trust GXT-155 has big side buttons and stores the macros on the mouse so I don't have to install new software on the company computer although I have only had the mouse one day and not connected it to the company computer yet... maybe there's something I don't know about and the network admin will call me within a few minutes of plugging in the mouse. We'll see.The macros work nicely and they are easy to setup and attach to individual buttons. The matt-finish surface of the mouse is as slippery as a slime eel and and all surfaces are convex so I had to add some strips of double sided tape along some edges so that I could lift it off of the matt to move it. Maybe if you have large, moist fingers you'll have no trouble but when the mouse is dry I cannot lift it.The way I'm tempted to hold the mouse does not cause my wrist to line up with the mouse axis.. maybe I just need to retrain so that I hold the mouse straight.The weights and lighting are superfluous to me other than the lighting telling which profile is active.There is a button-command function to select the next profile but if all of your buttons are assigned you'll need to press the mechanical button on the bottom of the mouse. I'd like to have button commands for 'Next' profile and 'Previous' profile so I don't have to cycle through 4 profiles to get back to the profile I was at before my profile change.
