What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the comfortable, premium-feeling shape, the many programmable buttons and the versatile scroll wheel, with RTINGS measuring extremely low click latency. RTINGS and Tom's Hardware found it heavy for competitive shooters; Tom's Hardware also found the scroll wheel clunky and loud and noted cheaper rivals with similar designs.
