I love the shape and weight of it. the sound of the clicks sound really good too. great mice all around. it's only 40 bucks!! highly recommended mice! I also have the Logitech G1(which I love) and then switched to the Mico. My brother got a Mico for Christmas and loves it for Starcraft. As far as pixel skipping, I've owned one since last summer and I have never noticed it at 800dpi. I had to really try to get it to skip at 1600dpi and that took awhile, it was there however when testing in MS Paint. For me it was not even noticable and I think this is more of a concern for FPS games like Quake, where slight changes in the mouse can really make a difference play. Nestea uses his Logitech G1 with 70% sensitvity in SC2; some people on this forum would freak out and say "Why doesn't he use 51-54%?! He does not have a 1:1 ratio!!! How does he win games with his mouse skipping pixels?!" People just blow things out of proportion. If the Mico was that bad you would see a ton of more post on it and Startale players would refuse to use it because it would hinder high level play. I also want to point out that some of the Startale players don't use the mico, but many players on the team have switched to it. I've never noticed the mico pixel bug while playing starcraft 2 and only became aware of it when it was posted online. For anyone that wants a nice replacement to the logitech mini optical with great tracking at 800dpi I say give it a try. Also, The tactile Huano switches in the Mico are my favorite for Starcraft. | ||

Just got this mouse off of newegg.com I'm lovin it so far! Excellent response 'click' and nice speed with the mouse. I enjoy it more than my old copperhead. It is small so I have full control over it. worth it for its price. | ||

When a team or clan is sponsored by a mouse company, you have to look twice. Take SteelSeries for example. They sponsor the best Quake player: Rapha. When you look at the SteelSeries homepage, Rapha is listed using a SteelSeries Xai. In reality he uses a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical with a SteelSeries sticker on it: ![[image loading]](http://i51.tinypic.com/2rd93l3.jpg) | ||

mine does it too. the skip is less the lower the dpi. kind of outrageous they ship with this sort of thing. other than the slightly heavy force for clicking, this mouse was rather perfect for me in shape guess its going in the trash and i'm back to my salmosa asia -- little too small and has prediction but prediction is better than skipping, thats for sure | ||

I bought two myself because I was having issues that I was eventually able to fix. The last one I bought was near the end of December on Amazon.com and that one does not produce and noise with the scroll wheel so far. My first one did from time to time, but I bought that around June last year. You can fix it also by taking the mouse apart and applying some grease near the scroll wheel. As far as any other scroll wheel issues I haven't experienced any so I can comment on those if they do exist. What still exist though is the pixel bug, Zowie looks like they may be aware of it finally so I believe there will hopefully be another version with updated firmware in the future. | ||

Firmware can only be applied in a new model i guess, since it's driver-free.. They made 2 new versions of the mouse in different colors (pink and light blue) but i dont like the look, would much more prefer the black one. The pixel bug doesnt matter for me, cause as i heard it only applies on 1600 dpi. I'm playing at 800, so there shouldnt be a problem. I would like to know how many people bought this mouse on amazon.de and if they (amazon) had to order new ones over time. But as i guess, it's a mouse not to many people here in germany have bought, since zowie is a pretty unknown manufacturer here. | ||

I can confirm that the bug happens on all the dpi settings on the mico, including 400-800. I however didn't even know it was there until I read some information online and tried to recrate the bug in paint for myself. Even though it did not hinder my Starcraf 2 play, the fact I knew it was there was enough to mess with head to the point of having to get a replacement mouse for the time being. | ||

Can you fill me in? I have the Mico and I love it, I haven't noticed this skipping either. Shape that yours is going to the trash. | ||

So I used this mouse for a several weeks and my impressions: - Super comfortable, and very small, best mice I ever had in my hand. I think you cannot find better mice for SC2 (size wise). - Scroll wheel is just something tragic, I can't imagine how they were testing this scroll wheel if it started doing all sorts of sounds the first time I unpacked it. So overall if you manage to get this mice with good scroll wheel and if it does not slow down all your games then it's best mice ever. | ||

It's not in the trash, it sits in a box of tech stuff in case Zowie ever offers a replacement. I didn't manufacture it, but I wouldn't find it ethical to sell something with such a fundamental problem as a mouse whose arrow doesn't go where you move it to. | ||

Still i have this mouse only for one week now, so i cant tell about the longevity. Also the clicking feels great, almost kind of mechanic, if that makes any sense. Might be the feedback when clicking, like comparing a normal keyboard with a mechanical one. | ||

Mine is perfect and I have had no problems with it. Yeah it's very weird but it does. 100%, as soon as i switch it off and restard pc everything if fine. I am not alone having this problem and it seems it maybe be due to Asus motherboards or something.. | ||

I thought first it was the problem with i7, but then some people having i7 had no problem with mico so I thought it maybe Asus motherboard. Either way I contacted support but they could not solve this problem and they said they heard it first time, so they returned the money. | ||
