Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsGood mouse with some major flaws
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023
Coming from a wireless logitech mouse that needed replacement, I decided to pick up this mouse up a few months before writing this review, so consider this a semi-long term review.
The good: The mouse itself feels great, in my hands it fits pretty well as someone with medium sized hands, the grip feels good and all the buttons are responsive and well placed. I've never had issues accidentally clicking anything. The left/right click also feels very good and gives good feedback. I didnt have any issues with the scroll wheel however I only use it for light web browsing and switching through weapons, nothing more. I also never had issues with the battery life, it lasted me a good week or two before I needed to charge it again. My qualms with the mouse however are 3 qualms (2 major and one minor) that really hold me back from giving it a good review.
First - the software, I know most mouse software isnt the best thing on the planet, but this software was so horrendous to use. This software literally bricked my mouse, I was attempting to download a firmware update as the software told me, I left the mouse alone and did everything as instructed, however, about 80% of the way through, the software just decided to give up, and it left the mouse just straight up not working. I had to go through a long process of re-installing the software and connecting the mouse via a cable to my PC just to get it to work again, very annoying for no reason. The software is also pretty confusing to use at times, rebinding or changing the RGB colors on the mouse can be a real pain.
Second - the mouse has some really weird connectivity issues, it randomly glitches and decides it doesn't want to register input, I personally play a lot of FPS games, and when you're in an intense fight with enemies and the mouse just decides it doesn't want to register your movements, it can get pretty frustrating. The registering issues are normally not noticeable at all, when im just using it on my desktop or in a lightweight game like cities skylines, it doesn't bother me much at all, but when i need the mouse to be responsive it just doesn't cut it.
Final point I'd like to make, although this is a minor one, when charging the mouse, the mouse decides to play the brightest colors possible, as someone who normally charges at night, it can get pretty distracting to have a completely dark room with a bright light playing from the mouse. I wish it had a small red/green indicator that told you if it was charging or not, but oh well.
Overall, I'd say this is a good mouse that has a few points holding it back, if you don't mind the confusing software and you're ok with the slight connectivity issues (i will warn you these can get very frustrating at times). This can be a good option at its price point, however, if you play anything that requires fast and responsive movements, I'd personally steer clear from this mouse.
