I have to admit, if I was going to spend more than $30 on a mouse, this would now be a definite contender. I rather wish they'd included a switch for the LEDs (not a fan myself) but such is life. (I'd rather not have to open it up, y'know?)

Being an Avatar, though, how does it handle animated .gifs? :D
