DO NOT go buy one. If you really want one, I suggest waiting for generation 2 or three (if there is one). Maye they'll fix the damn thing.

I saw them at Blizzcon also and was "meh" but my wife ended up getting one for me for X-mas anyway.

What a piece of garbage. I had the stuck mouse1 button issue also. Once I'd press it down, it wouldn't come back up unless I psycally lifted it up with my fingernail.
The fix they told me didn't fix anything so I just asked to RMA it back to them. They told me it was a "known issue" so I assume they've gotten a ton of complaints.

The build is terrible. It's a giant plastic mess. The mouse 4 and 5 buttons wouldn't bind to anything. In game, the buttons were all bound to things you don't really need them to access quickly on a mouse but trying to re-bind them seemed to screw other things up.

The software is horrible. I could not copy and paste my pre-made macros into their macro-maker as it wants to record every single keypress (so trying CTRL-V would not work and right click and paste wont either).

I tried to make a forum post on the regular WoW forums about some of these issues but it got deleted by a mod. It wasn't even a flamefest. Seems Blizzard doesn't want legitimate criticism.

I wish they'd partnered with Logitech. I've always had great stuff from them.

I'll never buy anything else from Steelseries again.
