This is a great idea for a seldom-used mouse. But the size and shape just don't allow for steady use without causing your hand to cramp. I returned the one I bought. Should have known better, because the one I bought was a returned one, offered at a discount.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am keeping this mouse, even though it was a little too expensive for what I wanted. It is very convenient that it flattens for packing into a carry case but it also is not quite big enough to fit my (average sized) hand comfortably during use. You can't rest your hand on it while mousing, so your hand kind of "hovers" above, and the curve is not quite deep enough to fit into the cupped hand, so it basically feels like holding your hand in the position of a large mouse but without any support. My hand cramps after about ten minutes of use.

I'm sure Titanfall is an awesome game, and someday I'll totally get it and play it! But in the meantime I needed to renew my Live Gold status so I could play GTAV online. This one card did it all! Plus... BONUS MONTH!!!

The extras were fun! They (and the fact that it wasn't available to stream on Netflix or Amazon Prime) are the reason I went ahead and bought it.

I didn't think this would be able to replace my xbox for media streaming, but after a couple of weeks with it I am THRILLED! I can also plug it into my projector and use it to stream directly to the projector. Well worth the money, although the motion-sensor controller has no value to us - we played Angry Birds once.

What are the free channels that you can watch with Roku 3?

There's a list at http://www.roku.com/channels/#!browse/movies-and-tv/by-popular

But one thing to keep in mind is that some "free" channels are only available to you if you currently subscribe to a cable/satellite service that includes them. For example, I have basic cable, so I can't view the ESPN channel to watch my college team play. On the other hand, I can watch the "ESPN Skycam" channel for my team, for free. The skycam is just audio and video feed from the overhead camera. There's no "personality" commentary or instant replay but I actually like it better this way!

HBO Go and Showtime Anywhere you can't watch without a subscription. But there's a ton of "Indie" channels that offer stuff for free.

Then there's "free" channels like Flixter, that you can add and browse for free, but charge you to watch a movie. Similarly, the Amazon channel will let you watch Prime movie for free if you have a Prime account ($99/year, now) or you can pay $2.99 to $4.99 to watch a non-Prime movie or tv show.

Still, there are so many free channels that it can take a LONG time to sort through them, preview them, add or delete them. The website is the best way to review and decide which ones to add to your device. Doing it through the device on tv is very slow.

Is there a subscription fee to watch the "1,500 entertainment channels" advertised in the Product Features section?

.....and what are some of those "entertainment channels?" CBS, NBC, etc; or something else?
There are a ton of "extra" channels, some of which require a subscription, but most are free after registration. It's like hundreds of mini channels, specific to certain things, like scifi, sports, gay lifestyle, etc... I didn't go through the whole list but I did find several channels to add to my Roku, but I still spend 99% of my time on Netflix or Hulu or Crackle. Crackle's good!
