    I love the Thumb rest

    To prep, I am a Razer fan. I own the Razer Basilisk wireless for my Razer Laptop and Razer mouse pads. Prior to this mouse, I owned the Razer Atheris. I also like the Atheris but the the Razer Basilisk fits my hand better and I really like the thumb rest. At first I thought the thumb rest was not necessary but I notice the mouse glides better, especially during long gaming sessions, because the thumb doesn't drag on the mouse pad. So, why am I talking about the Wireless version. I was so impressed, I bought the wired version for my desktop. The extra feature, which I haven't gotten use to yet, is the dpi thumb key. However, I changed, through the Synapse, the button action to be a grenade throw. Feels much better than scrunching my thumb to press the side button. BTW, I am not a big fan of RGB. So if you like having psychedelic changing colors, then this mouse is not for you.

    This is the best gaming mouse I’ve ever used. Very comfortable on the hand, love the thumb rest and the fact you can change the DPI at any point by pressing the tiny up and down buttons on the top. I’ve had no issues with this mouse! Amazing color as well

    Wanted to try the Logitech G502 but the weight on that kinda bothered me so when I saw this I decided to get it. Great feel if you like to palm your mouse. Fit my hand like a glove. The only thing that I didn't like was the rubber used on the sides would lose grip after a long period of use time. Maybe some sort of integrated grip would have been better? IDK, I'm not a designer. Just my 2 cents.

    This is my first mouse I’ve bought for gaming. I don’t need any of the crazy buttons on the side like whole number wheels as I’ve seen some other gaming brands have. The two side buttons and clutch on the side are easily programmable, but I wish there was a way to cover the side buttons like a cap or something because I have such small hands and this mouse is a lot bigger than I expected, so in order to have the amount of control that I want, I have to be able to put my thumb directly under them and sometimes accidentally click them which can suck when you’re in the middle of a game. The “quartz pink” color is more of a bubblegum pink and is definitely far more pink in person. Overall, the quality of the mouse is exactly what I expected. It feels really nice and durable. The material around the cord is also really durable (I have cats) but it’s also somehow really soft.

    I've had this mouse for over a year now and its worked perfectly fine, I've had no issues thus far even though I've dropped it multiple times! Worth it just for the looks of the rgb but also has good comfort.

    Bought this mouse on sale and I truly think it’s worth the full price. It fits my had great and has a really good feel. Plenty of buttons to map and the little thing on the side to support your thumb is nice. And it has rgb, who doesn’t want rgb lol

    Size is good ( I have average male hands), texture pleasing, lightest mouse I own & like that, adjustable scroll wheel a really nice feature, dpi clutch/button a bit gimmicky - long lever interferes w forward button above it, over all it’s a fine mouse just not that wow factor like the g502 or roccat kone aimo

    Razer has been known for quality and this one doesn't disappoint. The price is relatively cheap for a mouse and with all the punch it packs, it's a steal. Convenient locations for all buttons, solid size to fit your hand, and reacts very well. Only gripe is that I have yet to be able to program one button located near my thumb, however, all the other buttons work and have functions for gaming.

    I purchased this mouse because I wanted an ergonomic option to go along with the Razer desktop setup I've already established. The sensitivity options are great and the RGB matches every other piece of the setup. Overall, very pleased.

    I used to use a Razer Naga for the buttons but I found that I never got comfortable enough to use them consistently and stuck with mostly keybinds. This mouse is responsive and feels nice in your hand.

    I bought this mouse simply because it went with the keyboard I bought and wanted a marching mouse for my desktop at home. I'm not a gamer but o love it for regular use. It's very comfortable and responsive.

    This was a great mouse, love the clutch, and the DPI adjustment buttons. I just didn't like the way it felt, and this is personal preference. It is very responsive and precise. I was shocked by hw precise it is. If you don't mind bigger mouses then this is for you.
