In Use:
This mouse is pretty much plug an play it works in Mepis 6.5 with out the software and in windows as a usb mouse no worries there.
button feel is dead on I'd even compare it to the Logitex MX1000 or
Razers Copperhead mouse  on the way it glides over the mouse pad and
while it's not as mushy feeling as the CopperHead it works well.
We noticed no lag in game play .
We tested with Half Life 2 ,Quake 4&3,UT 2004 ,Doom 3, Painkiller
But it was when tring to use the tripple threat feature in these games we found out the OCZ mouses flaw the delay between the shots firing was longer then if
we tried doing the mouse clicks oursleves.


Pros:
killer dpi settings
get size for the laptop user or your little one(s)
comfortable


Cons:
the triple threat button feature is not much of a threat.
it is way to slow to be of use in any fps game as it is now.


Final statement:

While the mouse is not without issue
(the triple threat button really isn't a threat at all).
We see this as a good first run product from a company expanding it's product range.
We see it as a very good product with a feature flaw that might be fixed in a driver update if it is a driver issue.
For a first foray into making a mouse it is damn good show.
I let my little one use it when she wants to play Tree House TV games etc.
While some may think of this as a ding against this unit it is not.
For the price you pay for this unit and one made for kids you get a better product buying the OCZ unit.
We look forward to more great things comming down the pipe.
