I was first led to this mouse due to its dual wireless functionality - both bluetooth and 2.4ghz wireless. I wanted to replace my aging wired gaming mouse with something wireless. I also had recently purchased an ultraportable laptop with limited ports. Having bluetooth lets me avoid taking up a USB port while still having a mouse available. The 2.4ghz is fast and responsive for desktop gaming. The mouse also has a unique joystick where your thumb rests. It can act as an analog stick or a 4 position switch. Going from a G502, I thought I would really miss the thumb button, but have gotten used to the joystick. I use it in the 4 position mode so I gained 3 additional buttons for my thumb vs. the 502. It also has a unique little disk you can customize for the rear RGB lighting. I put my wife's cricut to use and was able to perfectly customize the mouse the way I wanted it. Overall, very happy with the mouse and it fits my needs perfectly.

This is a solid gaming mouse with certain issues that gives away the 5th star! So, the joystick is a novelty feature that doesn't find an actual world use. There's no hypershift (a second layer of button assignments) so you might want to use it as a 4 way button, still, with shorter thumbs, it's hard to reach and push around. The puck for custom coloring is totally a gimmick, don't even think about using a sharpy to make something useful. Maybe the 3d prints can help you out thou. Overall, the very precise sensitivity adjustment by holding dpi and scrolling the wheel, qi wireless charging, BT mode, pouch is cool stuff. But the reason I'm considering to return this mouse is the software, it's heavy, multiple apps to use the lights or customize the buttons-- the old armoury is taking forever to launch, and it's outdated and no longer supported. So, it's not easy to customize it, and without customization the joystick cannot be utilized at all, the lights are not that adjustable. Overall, Basilisk Ultimate with dock is the same price, if the product I've got was not faulty (yea, QA issues), I'd stick with that. Now, I'm just going to forget about the beatiful "headlights" of the Chakram and get back to my old (but gold) Basilisk X Hyperspeed.
