What reviewers say

Reviewers praise its comfortable sculpted shape, smooth and fast MagSpeed wheel, useful thumb controls and extensive software customisation. Tom's Hardware found the thumb-rest gesture button awkward to press; PCWorld said the free-spinning wheel takes practice; Tom's Guide noted the high price and occasional Logitech Flow delays.
