At first I wasn't so happy with it coming off of the ultra high DPI Microsoft/Razer Habu, although it has a ton more useful features.  Then Matlock pointed me to a hacked driver that makes everything happy.  This mouse is fucking incredible.  INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

7 buttons, all configurable to do extremely specific tasks.  2 scroll wheels (the side scroll wheel is for using flip3d in vista, or alt-tabbing between windows in XP.

The SmartShift technolgy behind the mouse wheel on top is no hype, either.  It turns from a clicky mouse wheel to a fast, smooth, no clicky mouse wheel depending on the application.

The software is pretty great, and you can take configurations to a granular level, giving it separate configurations for different apps, or even different windows in the same app (in some cases).

No, it's actually an app extension to the software that comes with it that unlocks additional settings and features.

It is.  Most mice that advertise a bazillion buttons have them in places that are totally not easy to use, but the placement here is perfect.  I have every button mapped to do something useful.  The silver button below the top scroll is set to open up My Computer every time I click on it, which makes for quick and easy saving of images and uploading to my FTP or imageshack.
