Description: A very cheap mouse, with a so-so sensor, but with 6 buttons. Not bad for such a low price: You get a mouse, with 6 buttons, for only $10. What the mouse lacks is a good sensor and quality construction, but it makes up for that with a dazzling LED display.
Button Layout: Left, right, middle, two right thumb buttons, one DPI adjust button.
Cable: Unbraided, flexible cable.
Grip: Hard plastic sides, soft plastic top.
Size: (L) 126 x (W) 64 x (H) 39 mm
Weight: Medium: 100g (w/o cord)
Connection type: Wired (USB)
Sensor: Avago ADNS-5050
DCI/CPI: 600/1200/1800/2400
LOD: 1.2mm-2.4mm
Pros: Cheap, 6 buttons, driverless
Cons: Low quality, mediocre sensor, thumb buttons on only one side for an ambidextrous mouse

Description: Formerly known as Al, an expert assassin and CIA agent. Killed and sent to hell to pay for his crimes, but returns to earth after making a deal with the devil. Too many superpowers, violent, has a nice cape. As for the mouse, this is an excellent claw-grip mouse with a perfect sensor for a good price. The mouse is quite wide, with a pinky rest, it has a nice rubber finish, and lots of buttons. May not be suitable if you cannot adjust to a claw grip or if you have sweaty hands.

Cable: Unbraided, flexible cable.
Grip: Rubber sides, plastic top.
Size: (L) 110 x (W) 75.5 x (H) 35 mm
Weight: Light: 86g (w/o cord), 142g (w cord)
Connection type: Wired (USB)
Sensor: Avago ADNS-3090
DCI/CPI: 800/1800/3500
LOD: 1.4mm-1.6mm
Pros: Comfortable (for claw grip), pinky rest, lightweight, cheap.
Cons: Old firmware has some issues (recently fixed), may not be suited for palm grip, uses drivers
