I have two complaints about the mouse:
1. Mouse wheel scrolling
This needs to be bindable. I can't believe in 2012 a game was released that does not support the binding of the mousewheel scrolling. In every FPS game I use mousewheel up to take out my primary weapon and mousewheel down to take out my secondary weapon. It's a system that has served me well for a decade of high level competitive gaming and I don't want to have to start/stop autohotkey or make changes in my mouse driver configuration panel every single time I start and close the game to achieve this.
2. Mouse sensitivity
The lowest setting is far too fast and the highest is just pointlessly fast. I like to play at 1800 DPI and a low in-game sensitivity and again find myself having to adjust my DPI every time I decide to play the game otherwise it's just too fast. I have a 3 foot wide mouse pad and I'd like to use it.
Please consider making these basic changes to accomodate more players' configurations.
Edit:
You can use autohotkey with a script like this to bind mousehweel up/down to keyboard presses:
I bound u/i to weapon slot 1/2. This works but when I scroll up repeatedly it continuously switches to the hatchet but immediately back to rifle before you can even see the hatchet come out because the game activates the standard mousewheel scroll action. To stop it so the rifle only comes out once I had this to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<steam id>\4920\remote
Now no matter how much I scroll up or down my rifle or pistol will come out once.

But if I remember not long ago they talked about middle mouse binds, and it was an engine issue or something not letting you do it. It is ridiculous that it is not implemented yet.
Plus the mousewheel DOES switch to your weapon. I had to adjust from CS because taking out the pistol is the opposite in NS2.. not that big of an adjustment after a bunch of hours.
At least they offer the setsensitivity command. I'm trying to find the sweet spot between .3 and .4
It is a big adjustment even after a few hours when in every single other game I play I use a different control scheme. I like to know that no matter how much I scroll my wheel up my primary weapon is going to come out and no matter how much I scroll down my pistol will be coming out. In the current control scheme I have to use my mouse driver software to rebind the scrolls to keyboard presses and then change this when I'm done playing. This is extremely inconvenient and quite an oversight that should not be present in a modern game especially 8 months after launch...
Also, Valk is a wizard.
I'm not sure what you mean by "puff up your ego" since it's just a matter of fact that when I play I rarely die and kill constantly. I was simply pointing out that what that guy said was ridiculous that you should only use certain weapons based on your sensitivity.
If you don't understand how flick shots and personal preference work then I feel sorry for you as you have no ability to use your brain.
