Customer Reviews of Creative Labs Fatal1ty 1010 Gaming Mouse

Very disappointing. Quality of this mouse is cheap. Major flaws. Avoid. You've been warned.
I'm sure most people get excited when they buy a new product, and thus review that the product is great right away. Well, I have been using this mouse daily for about a month now and I am NOT impressed. <
> <
>I bought this mouse mainly because it was on sale after rebate for a very cheap price -- and I can see why it was so cheap: the product itself is cheap in quality as well. I'll probably be using the word CHEAP a lot in this review to describe this mouse. I would be very mad if I had paid retail for this. It's not worth it. Jonathan "Fatal1ty", "a world top gamer", designed this mouse? I think he should just stick to what he is supposably good at -- playing games -- than enginnering a mouse. <

>The clicking noise of the mouse just sounds very cheap and loud. I would not want to be in a room with a bunch of gamers using this mouse: it would be a clicking hell frenzy. Let alone, you will annoy someone trying to sleep using this mouse at night. <

>After a month, the response for the left click just has gone terribly bad; I have to click really hard to get a response or sometimes it double clicks even though I am clicking once. It is very frustrating. It seems the cheap microswitches inside, which creates the loud clicking noise, can't take any more clicking. I'm sure you're thinking I just had a defective product, right? Well, you can take your chances but this is actually a common problem being discussed in the Creative forums. You can google "Creative Fatal1ty clicking problem" and you should see some of it come up. Terrible quality control. I have not even used this mouse for any games yet, only for casual browsing and navigating my computer -- hardly abused the mouse -- and yet the mouse can't handle that? Wouldn't gamers need to constantly use the left mouse as their primary action button? -- and also have to react fast and press on the mouse quickly, or some would pound, on the mouse? It seems Creative only tested this product to a group of people for one day. Don't expect this mouse to last. <
> <
>The "True Grip" 5 point control system -- #1. a small button on the left side of the mouse (thumb), #2. regular left click (index finger), #3. scroll wheel (middle finger), #4. regular right click (ring finger), #5. another button right next to the right click (pinky) -- is where Creative wants you to have each finger resting on a button: this is extremely awkward. I doubt people would adjust to use the mouse that way. Why do we need to change our way of holding the mouse? The mouse should be adjusting to us! If they really wanted people to use this mouse that way, they really need to design the mouse bigger. The mouse feels like a laptop mouse. <
> <
>The Teflon feet on the mouse is nothing special, although they seem to advertise that as some sort of special feature. You know they're getting desperate when they're also stating the cord on the mouse as something special too: "SpeedWire Zero - Oxygen Copper Wire". I mean, sure, it sounds cool, but I see "Zero" benefit. There's also an illuminated light on the side of the mouse with the Fatal1ty logo; I think this was added as an cover-up of the overall look of the mouse, because added lights make it seem like it has more value. Oh, and black color always looks good. Without those two key points, this mouse will not be able to deceive some people -- it'll really look cheap just like how it was made. <

>Pros: <
>- Quick CPI mouse speed change and LED to indicate which mode you're on. <
>- Changing of weighted mouse is unique, I have to admit... but it's not a mindblowing feature. (there is also a con, however) <
> <
>Cons: <
>- It just feels very cheap. <
>- Clicking noise is too LOUD (compared to a quality mouse) and it just sounds cheap. <
>- Terrible microswitches; it loses responsiveness over time. <
>- Scrolling while holding down on the scroll wheel does not work for Windows Explorer (it does however, work when browsing the web) <
>- I don't think the weights are that secure - again, it just feels CHEAP and some weights rattle. <
> <
>If you're left handed, Creative obviously was not thinking about you guys. If you're looking for a gaming mouse or an all-around mouse, I'd go with Logitech.

Just ok...it is a mouse...
There are 5 buttons so for hard-core gamers, this mouse may answer your needs...however the mouse physically is I think too small to fit in your hands comfortably. After a few hours of gaming, my hand gets a little stiff. The cable is also shorter than I'd like - but for the price can't complain!
