The resolution at 6200DPI is more than sufficient for quality gaming. Been playing a LOT of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with it in the last 3 weeks and I've moved up the ranks, placing much higher since moving away from the old one I used with my work laptop. It feels light in your hand, but in spite of the the tactile response of the buttons, including the side buttons and scrolling wheel, is quite nice! You really don't need to spend $100 on a gaming mouse to get a great experience...
