I use it for day to day tasks, so not gaming. Its responsive and works on any flat surface so no need for a mouse pad unless you really want one. Only caveat is that you have to manually turn it off after every use. Im forgetful so I assume my battery won't last long.
You never realize how satisfying a silent mouse is until you actually use one. I'm really happy with this mouse. It's just the right size and comfortable to use.
