Got mine a few days ago. I like quite a bit, actually. Easy to control stuff, fits my (smallish) hands nicely and eh.. Haven't noticed any performance issues, doubt it would affect me too much anyway seeing as I suck at the game lol. :3 No sidebuttons is annoying, but I'll live with it.

Despite buying it in Europe (35€ vs 35$) it's definitely worth the price.

The buttons on my old Logitech Mini Optical are also stiffer than the Kinzu buttons.
So it seems like they made MiCO's stiff switches on purpose to make it feel just like the LMO.

I have the zowie MiCO which i bought from ebay and i am pretty sure it is legit and it is AMAZING. I havent checked for any accelerations but i have no problems while gaming with it which is the main importance. I use the 1600 dpi aswell and i have no problems with it. The only thing i can see which might annoy people is the scroll it has no feedback or click i find but apart from that brilliant mouse for claw gripping wouldnt reccomend it for anything else

Well, I think I have to pay UK VAT on items shipped from the EU which is another 20% on top of the retail price. The main issue is that Customs detains the parcel until you pay which takes ages.

Since 1993, you pay VAT only once in the EU

The wheel does have a scroll and click feedback. Why are you only 'pretty' sure that it is legit. What kind of shady places do you buy from? o_O

Does somebody who did already get the mouse use it with one of the Steelseries QCK mousepads? I need to know if it works with the mico.

just got it, must say i love it, no prediction at 800 dpi, and feels really smooth, also low lift off distance.

buttons are a little hard to press, but nothing big. Good shape, can do claw or finger, palming wont be possible.

overall, mouse with no flaws at 800 dpi with a good shape. nothing more to ask for.

Couple people just posted their impressions over here: http://www.overclock.net/mice/1065913-zowie-mico-first-impressions.html. Seems like the OP is using a qck mousepad and has no problems with tracking.

Also looks like the consensus is pretty much the same as over here. Good shape, small size such that fingertip/claw is pretty much the only way to hold it, good tracking, good body material, buttons a bit stiff.

Personally, I've been using my mico for about two weeks now and like it a lot for SC2, I'll probably be using it for the foreseeable future instead of going back to my abyssus.

Does anyone know where I can find it in stock? Everywhere I've looked it has been sold out or no available yet.

It's going to be on newegg soon.

How big is this mouse compared to the Abyssus and Salmosa Asian edition? I may just getting whichever is smaller between the abyssus and salmosa ae considering the reports about stiff clicks.

Picked up mine today, and damn this mouse is tiny. I actually like the stiff buttons, and they give you really nice feedback. The scroll feedback is not that strong, but it's not too loose. Build quality feels fine and the feet could've been bigger. The shape is unusual for me, so it will take some getting used too(old mouse is zowie EC1), also the dpi settings are a little off. mico@400/800/1600 vs EC1@500/1000/2000.

The mouse feels wierd at 1600dpi in counter strike, i play with pretty low sensitivity. The EC1 is fine at all dpi settings. 800 felt fine, did not test on 400.

Well, I have all these mice, so I decided to take a picture. Left to right is - abyssus, salmosa Asian edition, Mico, Steelseries Kinzu, and a pen for reference purposes (couldn't find a ruler lol...)

One thing I'll say is that although the Mico looks not much bigger than the Salmosa Asian edition, it feels a lot better to grip the Mico. The Salmosa Asian edition is both very small and very low to the mousepad, and it has an odd body shape, so it's not as comfortable for me, whereas the Mico's body is more rounded and I feel like I'm more precise when I grip it.
