This can be changed using the drivers included. The bottom/side part houses the Side buttons and thumb grip.<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves /> <w:TrackFormatting /> <w

Side buttons are like usual and are made of glossy plastic which though looks good, can be quite frustrating as when your hands get sweaty it's very hard to grip properly.

Under the buttons we find a thumb grip, though in this case Razer has gone into a bit more trouble to make it deeper thus having more room for your thumb so you can have a better hold of the mouse. This also makes it very comfortable after long periods of gaming.
