Battery indicator warns you when battery is low.
Ergonomic, functional shape.
Rubberized sections for good grip.
Made for portability.
Smooth and expensive feeling scroll wheel with no clicking detents.
Great range (up to 30 ft.).

Cons

No support for lefties.
No "off" switch to save battery life.
Transceiver is longer than desired and can break easily.
It would be better if the transceiver was just as small as the one on the Microsoft Arc mouse.
Chrome and upper portions of the mouse are easily prone to scratches.
Tracks poorly on frosted glass desks and glossy surfaces.
Expensive.
