Look at the shitty mouse feet on the bottom. Why couldn't they afford to put larger feet on this bad girl?

I'm going back and forth between the Razer Abyssus and this one. What do people who have both recommend?

Cable length is 1.80m, it is rather thick, but not stiff.
Lifting up and relocating on your mousepad is extremely easy, despite the mouse not having any edges or ergonomic curves. This is due to it's weight, it is extremely light. I can't really define what my old kitchen scale says, but the marker is way below the 75g line. Zowie talks about 68g, and that sounds right.
The grip is phenomenal; I know there are multiple types of polymers that manufacturers use for computer peripherals, but I don't know too much about that, so I just hope it is the higher quality one which does not start to glare after using it for a few weeks.
I don't know which sensor is built in there, but I can't see any prediction or acceleration. Dislocating myself like Quasi Modo, I can confirm the lift-off-distance to be 2mm. Zowie talks about a speed of 1,27m/s, but I don't quite know how to measure that - can anyone recommend a program for that?
I've had mice with buttons activating by just barely touching them, but not the Zowie, it's buttons require a reasonable medium amount of pressure to activate, which is perfectly fine with me. The rubber-like scrollwheel gives good grip and sits tight, no shaking to the left or right whatsoever. It's easy to press, giving rather less feedback, but still nicely noticebale.
Until now, I always used blank 80g/m2 paper as mousepad (try it, it's awesome!), and just switched to an NR-F1 mousepad, so this is a bit new to me, but it glides like no other of my mice on it, probably due to its low weight. I can't compare to other gaming mice's gliding capabilities; never really paid attention to the gliders, simply because the shape of every gaming mouse from the last decade disappointed me which caused me to ignore them, lol. So I don't really know how to call this type of glider, it just looks standard to me
There is no software, we don't need one. Press left+right mouse button and scroll the wheel up to lower the dpi, scroll down to raise it in three steps (400dpi-800dpi-1600dpi). The scrollbutton changes colours accordingly, which doesn't annoy me while playing because my finger is in front of it, anyway.
Palmgrip is difficult because it is so small. I have a medium hand by western standards, and with a palmgrip, my fingertips hang over at the front. I'm using a mixture of a palm- and fingertipgrip, which caused me to have problems with many mice already, but it works surprisingly well with the Mico.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to play yesterday, but at some point this weekend I will throw in a couple of hours of a SC2-session to see what it's like in a real gaming condition. I'm confident.
