Comfortable, good tracking, unreliable wheel, and too "light " weight in hand

At around $30, I found this mouse to be good value; It used to be sold for $50-60, which I think is overpriced for him. I would like to highlight three features that caught my eye. (1) This mouse fits comfortably in the right hand. It's slightly above average, which is good. I have medium sized hands and little mice make me feel like I have to be careful where they are all the time or they'll disappear. This mouse doesn't draw too much attention. It's important to note that it's wide enough for the thumb and pinky to rest comfortably and is raised just enough below the base of the index finger. This makes it easy to hold without squeezing and the hand rests comfortably on it. This helps ensure the mouse is ergonomic and feels "organic" in your hand. In my opinion, these are the strengths of this mouse. (2) The mouse seems to work pretty well when it comes to how the pointer movement "feels" on the screen. The coordination between mouse movement and pointer movement is flawless. Prior to this mouse, I had another high-sensitivity mouse configured on my computer, and it was ugly, although tweaking the software settings partially helped. Switching to this mouse seemed like a big improvement and I just needed to slow down my pointer speed a bit. Pointer movements feel smooth and precise. (3) I wish this mouse was a little heavier. I also wish the wheel feet were a little beefier. Both the mouse and the wheel require a bit of effort to move, which isn't enough for my comfort. This is particularly problematic with an impeller. The finger glides over the wheel without triggering it, it takes mental effort to push the wheel to spin it but not too hard to move it. This is a big minus of this mouse. I would say an additional 20-40 grams of mouse body weight would be crucial. And a slightly more durable or rubberized wheel would make a difference. The relative lightness of the mouse and the low resistance of the wheel draws attention and takes away from the sense of satisfaction I like in a mouse. Other than that, the mouse feels more solid than a regular, cheap, small, lightweight, plastic mouse. Some users might prefer a lighter mouse, and some users might like a fat wheel that's hard to turn, but I don't like it.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
