Good features hindered by a very lackluster build
0 of 1 found this helpful I'm usually a fan of RAZER products. I have their Blackwidow mechanical keyboard and a 2009 Mamba Mouse. I really wanted one of these Tron mice when they where first showcased.
I've finally picked one up and tested it, it has a ton of features to love but there was clear issues as well after using a much larger mouse for the better part of 8+ years. To start with, the mouse itself is a bit on the small side horizontally. Medium and Large hands will feel uncomfortable using this mouse for too long. Second, The side buttons exist on both sides, but are very sensitive. If you're having grip issues, you'll find yourself unable to press the side buttons with accuracy as you'll accidentally press/squeeze or just use the mouse while avoiding the buttons as a whole. Finally, the TRON sound effects and LEDs are limited to the point where it's not very good, the light strips especially are not strong enough in medium light to be vibrant.
The mouse feels like a let-down for someone who was hoping for so much more. Yet, there are good things about the mouse that makes me hopeful I can hand it down to a niece/nephew. The cord itself is extra long and will work with many setups. The build quality doesn't feel great (too light) but it's perfect for someone who's not comfortable with heavier mice. The side buttons on left and right allows it to be used by anyone who's left/right handed without forcing a uncomfortable play-style. Finally, the LED/Sound was lackluster, but it was cool enough that I know 10+ yr old me would love it.
Would suggest this mouse for mid-level players and children. A little too complicated for entry-level PC users, but a higher level player should look towards more Professional style mice.

Gets the job done, but expect issues.
1 of 1 found this helpful To start with, I had a digitizer to replace on a U530 after the glass cracked. The new one that arrived was great with no noticeable issues.
The real problem though is the replacement process.
What's offered here is only the glass, but the full repair requires the plastic frameto be removed from the old device. If you're going to buy this thing, make sure to have an iOpener (from iFixIt) ready so that you can separate the old plastic frame and reuse it. I tried using a heat gun, but it's very inaccurate and will very likely cause the thin plastic to warp and burn you.
So in summery: Only buy the glass (without the plastic frame) if you're confident in adhesive removal. Otherwise, skip this and look for one that includes the frame attached already.

Works as expected.
The hinges arrived very quickly, and for the most part works as expected. There was little to no difference between these and the originals, so it was a clean and easy install!
