I am a little torn on this one. I “like” this mouse, quite a bit, and there is a lot of good here; but, at the same time there are a couple of things that don’t really work for me.
In use, it performs very well. Connectivity is stellar, same for tracking, it is very precise, and everything is quite responsive. Gaming has been great, but it also does well with the day to day. Sure, perhaps a bit overkill, but still nice to have.
The build? Well, in some ways it is perfect, but in others, for me, not so much. It absolutely is well built. Nice material choices (I really like the textured sides), balanced, solid, and “feels good in the hand.” You can tell they put in work here. Lots of buttons, mostly well placed, that again, feel good with the right amount of resistance/give and are responsive. Consistent. The scroll wheel is just about perfect.
All of that said, it has a bit of weight, and while that may not be an issue for some, it is not really what I was looking for. A bigger issue for me, however, is just how the mouse fits my hand. Again, this will be different for everyone, but my hands lean somewhat to the larger size, and comfort is an issue, especially after a bit of use. Not sure it is a total dealbreaker for me yet, only time will tell.
As for the styling…again, a personal thing, but I really like it. I typically don’t like a lot of “gaming things” as they tend to be over the top in some (or every) way, but the simple, plain-ish, all black look is perfect for me. Additionally, as you might guess, RGB is not my favorite thing, again, typically quite
“gamery,” but I really, really like what they did here. Not harsh, but rather a soft glow that gives a really nice effect. Balanced and absolutely not over the top. Lots of options. Lots of customization.
I think that customization, the software, is another solid aspect of this mouse. You have a lot of control not only of the RGB, but the buttons, the scroll wheel, mapping, macros…more or less everything. It is easy to get in to, easy to play around with, and easy to dial things in to your liking.
Not much to say on battery life. It will depend on how you use it, but it has been great for me so far. I don’t think it will be an issue for anyone in any way. It is Dock Pro compatible, for those already in the ecosystem…
Which leads to my overall thoughts on this mouse. I can easily say I think this is a very good mouse, and I do really like it, even if I personally have some issues with the comfort/fit for me long term. With that said, it does come at a cost, and I am still undecided about the value here. I suppose it is on par with others in the space, but I would really look at your use case, as you might be better served going with the previous model and a Dock Pro (as an example), if you do not already have one. Ultimately, I think most people would be happy with it, but just something to note.
