What reviewers say
Macworld, TechSpot and Notebookcheck praised the Darkfield tracking, customisable controls and ability to use the mouse while charging. Macworld and Notebookcheck found battery life short in practice; TechSpot found the larger, higher-arched shape less comfortable than the MX Revolution and missed automatic wheel switching.
