This is much more comfortable than my old go-to wireless gaming mouse, and weighs even less. I was able to get my G305 down to 80 grams with a lithium AAA battery in a AA adapter (much lighter than normal AAA Alkalines, and lasts far, far longer than even AA Alkalines) and this mouse is basically the same weight with just a normal AA battery. Lag is quite low even through bluetooth, which is great for laptops without that many USB ports available. Razer's HYPERSPEED seems to match Logitech's LIGHTSPEED blow for blow, though I'll have to wait a while to see how long the battery on this thing actually lasts. If it's anything like LIGHTSPEED, which it has been so far, it should be quite a while before I have to replace the AA it came with, and even longer after I stick a AAA lithium in there. (My old mouse lasted well over half a year on its AAA lithiums, so long that I often lost track of how ludicrously long its been since I last changed it.)
Also, much like the g305, mice configuration profiles can be saved to the mouse itself, so you can use it without bloated, useless configuration software like Razer Synapse in the background. Just make your configuration in Synapse, save it to the mouse, then uninstall that junk after you're done, and the mouse will do as you tell it to without needing Synapse anymore.
The only real problem I have with the mouse is Hypershift. And its not with the ability itself, but the side buttons of the mouse. On any mouse, the side buttons are usually the best to use for Hypershift-like functionality, but if you hold down one of the side buttons, your thumb gets in the way of pressing down the left click button, because there's no plastic separating the Left click from the side buttons. Booooo.....It's not the biggest deal, as normally you'd never need to hold the side buttons and use left click at the same time, but for that pretty much ruins the ability to use those buttons for Hypershift. And I REALLY like Hypershift. But unfortunately, I'm just going to have to forgo that particular feature, something I didn't have to do with my G305.
But it really is an upgrade over the G305 in most areas, and even more importantly, its still available, and for a decent price. Definitely worth it, especially for the $40 on sale I got it for. $60 ain't that bad either, frankly.
