Feels good. Works well. Needs more.

This mouse has a nice, solid feel to it. It fits my hands comfortably. It glides well on my Razer rollable mousepad. It has adjustable weights.
The multiple light zones are pretty, but only the back two are really visible while in use, unless you look closely.
The scroll wheel lacks a horizontal scroll and it lacks a "fast scroll" toggle, like many Logitech mice have. I find I miss these features a lot when doing normal day-to-day computer activities. Not so much for gaming.
The easy DPI +/- switching is nice while playing certain games and even when moving the mouse around the desktop, if you have multiple monitors.
The configuration software is clunky and confusing. It tells me the device may need a firmware update, but none are available.
A nice bonus feature I found with this mouse on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10... when you lock your workstation, the rear LED illuminates red. When you unlock, it switches back to whatever color you had it set to.
I got this mouse on sale, so I think it was worth the money.

Quality build, tight connection, overpriced

The cable does not feel flimsy and I have no issues with any pins loose on the DVI side. HDMI fits tight. However, I have found similar quality adapters for $10 less than the Insignia brand.

7.1 channels. 0.0 wires.Enjoy legendary audio with zero hassle. You get 2.4GHz wireless freedom at up to 40 feet, and ten hours of uninterrupted gaming at a time. Genuine Dolby 7.1 surround gives you lethally accurate positional audio, and the 50mm neodymium drivers produce staggering bass, highs, and dynamic range. Marathon gaming sessions are easy with the microfiber-wrapped earpads, and you'll be heard loud and clear with the unidirectional noise-cancelling microphone.

Excellent clarity and range. Comfort is good

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: These headphones sound amazing. Enabling 7-channel sound on supported software works smoothly, and was detected by all the games I tried it on. Microphone seemed to pick up my voice clearly, but there was no other noise in the background in my room, so I would expect nothing less. I was able to walk about 50 feet away before I noticed any signal loss while I had the USB dongle on the top of my desk. Putting it under the desk (wood and metal) caused a slight drop in range as one would expect.
The comfort was good. I could have used more size adjustments, but it fits and doesn't fall off your head or squeeze too tight. The material is soft, but porous.
Cons: Switching between audio output devices in Windows 8.1 can be a hassle if these are not your only speakers. Applications may have to be relaunched after switching to headphones. The Corsair audio program doesn't really help with this. This is more of a problem with Windows than with the headphones.

Although not as vivid as a more recent movie shot with HD in mind, Full Metal Jacket is a classic that deserves the highest quality and remastering possible. This was up to par.

Pad infused with supremacy

Verified Purchase:Yes
Once I purchased this mousepad, I raced home and abruptly unfurled it upon my desk. It draped nicely over my mouse, protecting it from the elements, but then I decided there was an even better use for such a malleable mat-like object. I removed the mat and slowly and gently raised my mouse into the air! I could tell it was uncomfortable being lifted from its standard residence, being normally neatly ensconced in the groove it had worn down in the wood of the desk surface, but I didn't care! In the name of progress I hurried its ascent even further and hastily slid the mat beneath its receding shadow! Then, with a carefully executed downward thrust of my palm, I placed - nay, DEPOSITED - my mouse neatly onto the center of the mat. It felt so smooth. It felt so graceful. It felt so MOUSETASTIC.
In other words, this mousepad works well, is portable, durable, and lightweight, and I would recommend it to others.

What's great about it: It allows me to mouse precisely without unleashing my extraordinary powers and destroying my desk.
What's not so great: I like destroying my desk and this mousepad impedes my rage.

Does this drive need to be partitioned in order for Vista or W7 to recognize it?

No, it is pre-formatted as NTFS, so Windows XP and newer should read it natively.
