I'm really happy I'm within my 14 day return window, because my Sensei is going right back to the computer store.
I'm sorry, but a 110MB download for a *mouse* is absurd. Out of curiosity I installed it on one of my laptops anyways, and it has to be one of the most bloated, slow, and totally irrelevant configuration utilities I have ever laid my eyes upon.
First- it's written in .Net and ported to Mac OS X via Mono (so it's not a Cocoa app). Second, the entire UI is apparently driven by a bog-slow internal HTML engine- that's right, the GUI is written in HTML/CSS/JS. Apparently this was done so the UI can be skinned, because everyone wants to skin their user interfaces?
It's big, it's slow, and it doesn't even react that well because none of the UI controls are native.
I don't even know what to say, other then that this is stupendously excessive and completely absurd. Especially when a utility written in Cocoa would weigh in at under a megabyte (let alone 110 megabytes) and would be able to do the same thing faster and cleaner (of course, without the stupid skinned UI that looks like ass).
Frankly, this company is going on my **** list along with Razer and MadCatz. When any of them figure out how to write proper utilities, wake me up and let me know. Until then, I guess I'm sticking with Logitech- they seem to be the only company who produce mice where all buttons will work under OS X without extravagant software downloads.
