Worked fine for 45 days

Started having problems with the back button and forward screens. They quit totally. The good thing is it still functions as a three button mouse. Really wished it had not quit on me. I'll find something else

The "pad" is a bit odd. It doesn't seem to even touch my hand in certain cases, where as other cases (perhaps sniping, where you are firmly holding the mouse or other cases like that..) it might help prevent that pain in your lower finger joints. If...
