Great entry level gaming mouse
I have used many mice in the past few years and this mouse is pretty good for the price, just wish it was able to charge with a cable instead of using a battery (peaked immortal in valorant.) Cant fault it though because it is probably the only mouse at this price range that has Bluetooth connectivity and has rgb lighting while being as light weight as it is. Not bad at all for an entry level mouse. (People with bigger hands would really love the feel of it.)

Decent bluetooth mouse on the fly.
Good mouse for what I needed it for. Bluetooth mouse for work with an optional dongle attachment. Its lightweight uses 2 batteries def worth the price it connects via bluetooth easily unlike a few other brands. I could have gotten a 20 dollar logitech bluetooth mouse but they are very uncomfortable, since I game at home I am use to the feel of a gaming mouse. The price wasn't bad I purchased it when it was on sale.

Great value!
So far it has been great for gaming/daily use. The battery life doesnt seem to be quite 400hrs, considering i'm on my 2nd set of batteries already. But I game at least 6-8hr sessions daily. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great on the go mouse.
