Coming from a Logitech G603..... purchased 2x initially and Logitech replaced 2x under warranty and all 4x of these mice have developed the well known mouse click issue. Two of these developed the backwards wheel scrolling. Logitech lost a long time customer (interestingly discontinued the G603 after a short period)
I'm done with any mouse that has Omicron mechanical switches and this limited the new mouse choices significantly. Next filter was any review with a reverse wheel scroll issue was out. Interestingly, this mainly left the light weight gaming mice to choose from. I occasionally do gaming; but mainly use the mouse for regular desktop work.
I initially passed this mouse as some of the external reviews gave it a poor score...... mainly for the launch price of $150 and not being at the top of the pack in terms of competitive gaming. The weight of the mouse wasn't really a factor for me (never been a problem in the past)
This mouse went on sale for $60; one of the cheaper mice with optical switches and decided to give this one a spin (and Amazon indicated free returns). I was very impressed with the responsiveness and being able to position the cursor accurately. I expect that some of this is due to the mouse being very light along with a top notch sensor. High DPI is also needed for the dual 4k monitor setup that I have.
Battery life is acceptable; I have set it on blue tooth with 250ms response and this gives me a solid two weeks of 10+ hours a day. Not as good as the 6 months I managed to get out of the G603; the only area where Logitech had an advantage. That said, I would happily trade some weight for more battery life if this were ever an option.
For those looking for a high quality desktop productivity mouse; don't overlook these light weight "gaming mice"!
