- The Saitek PC Gaming Mouse has a 1,600-dpi laser. Value is the big selling point. Reviewers like responsiveness and sensitivity. Programmable buttons and a button for adjusting resolution are the most popular features. Some reviewers like the software and say it's easy to set up and use.
- Reviewers express multiple complaints about comfort, feel and ergonomics: the Saitek PC Gaming Mouse is awkward for left- and right-handed users, the shape is uncomfortable, button access isn't easy, and many more. Build quality is iffy, say some experts. The programmability of the buttons is limited.
The Saitek PC Gaming Mouse is a budget alternative to Logitech and Razer gaming mice. With its resolution of 1,600 dpi, reviewers say performance is competitive, but ergonomics and software are not.
Most of the reviews we found for the Saitek PC Gaming Mouse come from sources that don't regularly review mice. TrustedReviews.com, OverclockersClub.com, Futurelooks.com and Xtremecomputing.co.uk all have decent reviews backed by thorough testing for gaming use. CNet.com's review devotes a paragraph to performance and ergonomics.

TrustedReviews.com provides a balanced review of the Saitek PC Gaming Mouse, but it lacks the depth and illustration of the best mouse reviews we've seen. Even so, the comparisons made are excellent and helpful. Benny Har-Even's complaints about ergonomics and software don't quite fit with the rating TrustedReviews gives the Saitek PC Gaming Mouse.

Nick Green mostly avoids comparisons with other mice because he says the Saitek PC Gaming Mouse is the cheapest in its category. Still, he prefers his Razer Diamondback (*est. $40). The review is very balanced and the conclusion is appropriate.
Review: Saitek Gaming Mouse Review, Nick Green, Sept. 26, 2006
This review of the Saitek PC Gaming Mouse is very thorough and well balanced, but no direct comparisons are made. The review concludes with lists of pros and cons and ratings in four subcategories, as well as an overall rating and recommendation. The overall rating seems excessively high relative to the reviewer's assessment: "I was not overly impressed with it."

This rambling, amateur review makes some comparison with the Razer Diamondback. Testing is comprehensive, and the review is conclusive.

5. CNET
Most of CNet.com's review discusses installation and appearance. The shallow review does offer some good advice, but misinformation damages credibility. For example, CNet.com says, "Saitek backs the 1600-DPI Desktop Gaming Mouse with a two-year warranty -- a year longer than the industry standard." However, most other top mice have warranties that are at least as long, and many are longer.
