I've loved using this mouse for several years. It fits my hand (rather small) and the extra buttons have spoiled me for using ordinary mice. I set the left side button to go to the top of a document in my word processsor and the right side to go to the end, for example. It comes with the default set for back and forward, which is very handy in an internet browser. I set the scroll wheel button to paste when I push it in. What disappoints me about this mouse is that two of them have died. They failed gradually, stopping intermittantly but restarting until they just quit altogether. A third one is beginning to fail. (These were used in different locations, by two different people.) The mice worked for several years; this wasn't an immediate failure, but it's still frustrating. I bought a new Microsoft 5-button mouse, wireless, recently, but I don't like the feel of it and have difficulty using the extra buttons. I may go ahead and order another one of these.

This is number two for us. Two adults and two teens have used this mouse (and it's predecessor) for daily purposes for more than 6 yrs. The only reason we've had two is the cable on the first one (on the mouse end) just couldn't last beyond 6 yrs. The mechanism in the mouse is still completely functional (and the cable will get repaired as soon as time permits).

This is the second one of these that I have owned. From experience, I can say that they are very long lasting, and work very well. My first Microsoft Optical Intellimouse lasted for over 8 years...... and I expect the second to do the same.
