I must admit that I am kind of spoiled. My primary media box is a full PC running XBMC and so I have come to have high expectations from my media device. I don't think I am alone though in my expectations. However the Box Office does definitely have price in its favor, and if you can overlook some of its UI shortcomings you will get an inexpensive device that is well built, quiet as a mouse (even after playing 1080P video), power friendly and very small. . .

Overall, it is a very good gaming mouse - with one exception - it feels a little out of balance.  If you place your hand in normal position and pick it up it feels a little heavy in the palm.  If you like a mouse with a little "junk in the trunk" this would be perfect.  After a few hours of use it become familiar; the initial booty shock is what surprised me. . .
