Pros & Cons
Pros
You can customize it’s weight very easily using these tiny lead(? Their software, as far as macros, is superior to the competition if you ask me. I love the company and the products they make, how well they work with each other. Their hardware and sof... Read More
Yr is a pretty good deal for a mouse of this quality. Bought it from the warehouse, packaging was ripped and the product was clearly used, but still in good condition. Some other reviews complain that this mouse doesn't last permanently.
The weights allow you to adjust the feel of the mouse to your specifications. It has a grippy texture on the sides which is really nice. Perfect for my hand size and grip style.
Cons
Problems persist after a year of using this mouse. It no longer scrolls smoothly, skipping every few indexes. Software is also bloatware.
This mouse has 3 rubbery side grip panels that came off. While they seem better, there's spilled adhesive glue on the outside of the pad.

Highlights
Quality
It feels, looks, and is a great quality product.
Excellent mouse, feels good, no lag or issues.
I have owned logitech g502 hero broke within a year, the corsair m65 which is was great til it broke within 6 months.
My mouse will randomly stop tracking (button clicks work, lights are still on.
Price
At its current price point of $36 usd i would absolutely recommend it to anyone with big hands.
Just keep in mind you will need to buy $10 usd replacement side panels once every 2 years.
Bought it on sale for ~$30 which is half of what it's usually listed for on amazon and an absolute steal.
For the price i purchased this at $35 is a steel in my opinion.
Packaging/appearance
Packed with features this mouse is highly recommended by me.
