I will go through the positives and negatives immediately:
POSITIVES:
- Very nice design
- Lightning-fast response
- Comfortable in the hand
- You can adjust the resistance of the scroll wheel (from pushing it and making it turn on its own until it feels like it will break)
- Durable (I haven't even bought it yet and it has already fallen once).. I didn't see any marks.
- It is beautiful
- Plenty of programmable buttons (especially through synapse 3.0, you can set, for example, when you turn the scroll wheel to the right, the K key is pressed, and in a game like CS:GO, you can set the K key to be the grenade... or you can set it so that when you press a button, it "types" continuously... for example, you press it once and it essentially "types" 3 letters... It helps in some games... for example: A Way Out
NEGATIVES:
- Price... obviously you get what you pay for, but with 15-20 euros less it would have been much better, as 152+ shipping for a mouse is a bit painful... There are other options, but I believe that for this price, you don't just get a mouse to move it around...
- I would have liked a slightly larger battery as the RGB and high brightness level drains the battery quite quickly.
Overall, it is a mouse that is aimed at gamers or professionals who want to have a comfortable hand throughout the day. If you just want a mouse to do your work, obviously you don't need to look at it as you can find something good for 30 euros without going for the 5 euro mice.
I will mention measurements that I have recorded for the battery and charging:
First of all, I use the effect: wave, which constantly changes colors and MIGHT consume more battery than if it was steady. I just mention it, although I don't think there are significant differences.
Let's move on to the numbers:
With the brightness level at 50%:
- Consumption during regular use (scrolling/photoshop) is around: 4.8% / hour
- Consumption during gaming (CS:GO, continuous use without leaving the mouse) is around: 7.1% / hour
With the brightness level at 20%:
- Consumption during regular use (scrolling/photoshop) is around: 2.1% / hour
- Consumption during gaming (CS:GO, continuous use without leaving the mouse) is around: 3.1% / hour
I didn't measure at 100% because I don't think anyone would have it at 100% as it might not even last a day of use.
Now let's talk about charging:
Charging, either on the dock station or with a cable, takes 3 hours and 3 minutes for a full charge (0-100).. Of course, I didn't let the mouse go to 0%, but using the three-method, I calculated the charging time. I did one charge (10% to 100%) and one charge (23% to 100%). Using the three-method for both charges, the result was that a full charge takes 3 hours and 3 minutes.
I would also like to mention that there are two very important options within the program:
1) You can set after how many minutes of inactivity the lights on the mouse will turn off, from 1-15 minutes (it is available as an option).
2) You can set when the mouse goes into sleep mode (from 1 to 15 minutes).. We cannot disable this option. If you exceed this time and move the mouse, then the mouse has a slight lag, but very little.. This time can be 0.5 to 1.5 seconds.
PS: With the appropriate settings, such as setting the lights to turn off in the first few minutes (1st or 2nd minute) and putting the mouse into sleep mode again in the first few minutes (3rd or 4th minute), you definitely save a lot of battery if you simply do scrolling or watch videos or movies... Maybe then the battery will last you several days without charging.
Overall, I would say it is worth it for what it offers. However, if it goes down by 20 euros, it would be even better because it would be able to compete almost equally with the g pro wireless, which is 40 euros cheaper.
