Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The ergonomic shape wins people over again and again. Multiple commenters call the shape 'utterly superb,' 'god tier,' or their favorite over years of trying dozens of mice, with some returning to it after trying other shapes. It's praised as narrow at the front, comfortable to grip, and ergonomically superior to popular rivals like the EC2 or DA. This shape loyalty is the main reason many buyers overlook the mouse's other flaws.

Side buttons and click weight are the most common gripes. Users repeatedly describe the side buttons as too small, too far forward, or having a sharp ridge that causes thumb soreness during extended use like push-to-talk. Main clicks are called heavy, loud, or 'crunchy,' and some report noticeable click latency versus mice like the G Pro Superlight, though others found this difficult to replicate.

Pricing dominates the conversation, split sharply between anger and satisfaction. At near-MSRP ($130), commenters call the pricing a 'crime,' 'insane,' and worse value than the Superlight or Viper Ultimate. However, when picked up on sale for $20-70, sentiment flips dramatically positive, with buyers calling it a steal and a good deal. Scroll wheel squeaking after weeks of use is also a recurring quality concern across multiple units.
