What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the flawless sensor, the many programmable buttons, the excellent scroll wheel and the solid build, with RTINGS measuring outstanding click latency. The common criticisms are its weight and size, which suit a palm grip and larger hands best; PC Gamer found the extra buttons easy to press by mistake, and RTINGS found the cable stiff.
