It really is. It does everything the more expensive ones do, quite literally, everything (okay, not wireless, but they have a wireless version coming soon.....).

The cord is exactly as flexible as they say, im not sure how they did it, and i dont know if it matters, but its really flexible

The gliding pads are the smoothest i have ever had on any mouse. Hands down. Again, i dunno if it matters, but its REALLY slippery.

Precise tracking and aiming, liftoff distance is like 1.5 CD's or so

The desktop software is not mandatory, is EXTREMELY light on system resources, none of that razer BS bloatware. It does, what it needs to do, and thats it. It doesn't take up 400 FUCKING MB's, its only like 5 at most.

Overall, pretty fuckin good.
