What reviewers say
Reviewers find it an affordable, well-built wireless gaming mouse with an accurate sensor and a reliable connection, and RTINGS measured great click latency. All three note it is small for larger hands; Tom's Hardware and TechRadar regret it runs on a AA battery rather than being rechargeable, and RTINGS found it heavy for a gaming mouse.
