You are of course entitled to your opinion. The mouse always works for me.... it is the programmable buttons that I have to wait for, which makes it not perfect but not quite in the "suck" category. Note that a year ago I would have completely agreed with you but the Razor Synapse 2.0 software improved. Now I would call it "OK".
Sigh.
Its the Nostromo keypad that I really love! I have a profile "programmed" for each of my games on Steam.
