PROs: Comfortable in the hand, solid drivers (recognized easily by Windows and do not need to be reloaded), no batteries to replace like with wireless, easy gripping, and good granular controls for business, home, and light gaming use. Simple, direct, and dependable with a good price. I'm not big on the side and additional buttons with other models, which I accidentally click (frequently).
The basic Logitech is not bad, but I rate the Microsoft over it because I find that I have better control/granularity with the wheel and click zones. Like my favorite shovel (on the farm), this mouse does the job, does it well, and it is not overly cute or complex.
CONs: Not many cons when you consider price/performance.
The cord could be a little longer. As noted by other reviewers, the left/right clicks are louder than expected. In terms of click volume, it is about the same as when I am speed typing on my mechanical keyboard. (If you think it will bother you, it probably will. If you think that you probably won't care, then you won't.)

I like to make mouse movements 1-to-1, and I did just that very well. I'm not sure if it is literally one to one, but It's not overtly tilted one way or the other. I can't say how it was out of the package, but it never stops working for whatever technological reason, and I easily adjusted the sensitivity through microsoft hardware settings and such.
As for playing games, I've never had a moment where the mouse was faulty, any mistake or death was because I screwed up. Also also, it has a mouse three. It's kind of weird, but I wouldn't change the rating over this: You click it to the right, but not the left. Honestly probably for the best, not making it too easy to hit it by mistake.
