ExtremeTech's review of the 1010, Creative's first foray into competitive gaming mice, you know that you're in for a good read but probably not a rave review when the author's kindest words are reserved for the product's packaging. That's not to say that the 1010 is a terrible peripheral; ET simply thinks that a mouse designed to a professional cyberathlete's specifications may not be a good fit for the average user. Because the 1010 is rather short and squat, with a distracting third button for your ring finger and hard-to-find thumb button, ET advises that it takes some getting used to and can be frustrating to use in non-gaming environments. They do appreciate the interchangeable weight cores and visual DPI indicator, but find the software to be lackluster, the high-tech cord to be too short, and the lack of a tilting scroll wheel to be absolutely unforgivable. Final verdict? You're better off with a Logitech.
