So, after kicking up a bit of dust and stink via various channels and means, I finally received a tracking order that the mouse is on it's way. I must admit, I didn't realize winning something can be such hard work! I'll review the mouse (finally) when it arrives, although a month later I'm sure there would be various reviews already floating around lol!
 
Can't wait to win another prize.....hint hint...
 
PS: I love it how you guys email me "hey, take our customer survey" form after having this terrible ordeal of just finding out where a mouse is LOL! I pray nothing happens to my GFX card in the meantime, I'd hate to go through this again. 
 
Just to make it clear to everyone, I'm in no way complaining about actually winning something, in fact, I'm stoked to bits...but this whole process could have been handled more professionally.

So I recived my X10 almost 2 weeks ago now, and I can honestly say I am pleasantly surprised by it.
I bought a Logitch G7 close to 9 years ago and I have had a hard time finding a mouse to replace it with until now....
The design and craftsmanship of the X10 is very solid, the little features they thought of surprised me... 
I really like the height adjustment, and the ability to have different colors on the front and back half of the mouse... 
The software is easy to use, but could use a little more refinement... I found that on occasion setting custom button mapping sometimes failed or did not save properly but for the most part was just a simple reboot of the software and reassign the buttons and I would be good to go.
The weight system is easy to use and change out, but not a quick on the fly change out...
 
 
Looks like EVGA built a solid mouse, and it will be my primary gaming mouse for the foreseeable future...
 
Thanks again EVGA for this great mouse!

I've received my mouse and had a quick play with it last night. Here is my thoughts so far:
 
Packaging is presented very nice, the box and the way it's displayed is awesome, +1 there. Taking it out, you get the mouse, tool to adjust the height and some weights. In a small envelope, there's some extra "feet" for the mouse (not sure if it's the same that's currently used or just meant to be replacements if the old ones wears out), but this is a nice touch, again, +1. Looking at the mouse, build quality is great, I personally think it wouldn't matter if you got this in the normal or carbon version as it's just ascetics that would put it aside. So I'll go over the good then the bad:
 
1. Build quality is great!
2. Scroll wheel, OK, now here I must admit, you guys nailed this, it's almost porn for my finger, that's how good the scroll wheel feels!
3 Design, something different to look at.
 
Now the bad, you guys will hate me for this but there are 3 main flaws with this mouse, for me at least:
 
1. The side buttons, guys, listen, this is just FAIL. Those red buttons feels like it will break off after a week, do something about it ASAP! The buttons flexes more than a body builder busting a lift in the gym.
2. Height adjustment, this in mind is also a gimmick, if you use a "claw grip" on this mouse, it's useless unless you're 10 years old and your hands could slip through time and space, it might be for you, my hands are massive, so for me, useless.
3. Weighting system, now, as mentioned, I've got big hands, and I struggled to remove the top cover to access the compartments for the weights to go in. I was on the brink of ripping the mouse apart. This could have been my sample, but, this in my mind is fail anyhow....if that plate breaks off, you're stuck to RMA the mouse. I'd say bottom access for the weights would be more preferred.
 
So, as you guys can see, I'd say it's a 50/50 for me. If I saw a video review of someone flexing those red side buttons, I'd already go somewhere else and be like "take my money".....for that reason alone, I would NOT buy this mouse.
 
The software is alright, it looks good, but it could do with tweaking. You've got this nice "rev counter" look going with the DPI adjustment, but you have to manually click a bloody button to adjust this, you can't click on the slider... would be much easier. Other than this, I didn't have any issues getting used to the software.
 
Play time!
It took me about 10 minutes to get the mouse set up. I jumped straight into BF4 and started to play. Straight off the bat, it took me another 5 minutes "tuning" the mouse in-game to get the sweet spot. Overall, it took me a couple of rounds to get fully used to the mouse. I didn't see any lag or stutter in game and played fine. I could reach all the buttons OK to do what I do best, and the "on the fly" DPS system worked like a charm. All in all it took me a bit longer to get used to this mouse for some reason. There's nothing wrong, but each game I went to, it felt like I had to "adjust" the way I do or play to get used to it.
 
I'm not a professional gamer or reviewer of hardware, this is my first written review of something so please forgive me if I've made any mistakes in this review. This is only my experience so far with the mouse and will include a follow up after some time using the mouse further.
 
My final thoughts would be that, if I was in the market for a new mouse, this wouldn't be my first choice, there's better mice to be had for the money. If the issues gets addressed, then I might be swayed. All in all, not a bad "first attempt", it's still a sick looking mouse!
 
Day 2:
 
After playing a few games again, I though I'd give the top part a crack again to put in weights. I got it off this time, but man, what a struggle. To be honest, I stick with my original verdict of bottom weights is better, changing this will result in breakage. 
 
The second thing is, my mouse somehow became "loose" and developed a small "wiggle" in the middle body. This could be due to the fact that I tried to "man handle" the thing by opening the top for weights, so already, on day 2, I feel as if I broke it. The wiggle is just fine enough to irritate the **** out of me each time I nudge the mouse with my finger.
 
Lastly, I only game a few hours at night, I'll have to put in a weekend session to see how it handles my wrists, on this front I can't complain so far, but we will see this weekend coming.

finally today  i got  the torq x10 , the package looks good i just have a problem with the weight system manual info  i dont know why  u use the number 2 in the first step and the number 1 in the 2 step  because that i've broke one claw

 
normally manuals have good illustrations about  how the user should manipulate the product because the most of the user never read the manual just watch the illustrations, and giving the bad indications probably make the user broke the product , maybe the designer who make it should read again donald norman for remember what is the natural signals of a product usage. 
 
the  rgb  leds look fantastic, right now i'm going to test the mouse playing some rpgs and  first person shooters.
 
thx evga for the gift
 

Yeah, I've predicted this in my review about the weight system making no sense at all being housed under the top cover. I almost broke mine on the first day as my package contained NO instructions at all on how to "correctly" remove the cover.
 
I've used the mouse now for a while, and still have my reservations about it being a "gaming mouse". Again, if I didn't win this mouse, I would have bought a different mouse (if I was in the market for a new one).
 
Hopefully EVGA reads these posts and takes the comments on board to fix / change the issues pointed out by the community. Some people might be fine with it, but I see more and more smaller reviews with the same issues cropping up as what I've pointed out.
 
The mouse genuinely feels like "another gaming mouse", just looks different with same old features you get on any other mouse in the same price category (except for the carbon version) but that won't be a "deal breaker" for me, as it has no actual function to the mouse.
 
My final verdict would be:
 
This is an awesome looking mouse, if you are buying it for the looks, splash out on the carbon version, that way you won't feel "done in" by the issues on the mouse. Once those red buttons get's fixed, the weight system either gets a new design or gets dropped all together, spend your money elsewhere. If you think you would be able to live through this, then I'd say buy it. The price is not horrendous at all, and for that I would give EVGA a big props. They could have charged much more for a mouse that I feel could have given so much more.......
