Not a bad product, nothing extraordinary.

More about the disadvantages:
The mouse has a rib on the sides that goes from the front along the very bottom, and closer to the back it rises. With a claw grip (which is the only convenient one in my case), it turns out that the little finger falls exactly on this edge. There, the angle is about 120 degrees, at first this is not noticeable, but over time, the right side of the little finger pad begins to hurt.
In games, you often need to move the mouse when it goes too far. To do this as quickly as possible, the mouse is not raised high. Good gaming mice stop working when separated from the table by 1 mm. This mouse works at a height of up to 3 mm. In some cases, this leads to the fact that when you move the mouse, the cursor returns with the mouse.
A child of 5-8 years old may still be suitable. It is inconvenient for an adult to use such a mouse on an ongoing basis.
I don’t understand what prevented them from making the mouse work from 1 AA battery or at least from two AAA. The weight would be significantly less. And the mouse is very heavy for its size. Plus, because of the batteries, the mouse has a heavy back. When moving the mouse across the mat, due to the particular grip, it is not possible to lift it entirely, but it turns out to lift only the front part, and the back drags along the mat. At the same time, the sensor triggering limit is obtained at an inclination of up to 6 degrees, which corresponds to raising the front of the mouse to a height of 7-8 mm. This is fucked up.
In general, the software can be tolerated, it is not really terrible, but rather annoying. When you first start it very persistently prompts you to register. In order to synchronize and change settings remotely 24/7. Why ask? Select Guest mode. After that, it asks 2 more times in different windows. That is, you need to select the Guest mode 3 times. Approximately once every 2 weeks some ate comes out and it asks to be ated, it is ated for about two minutes each time. You can also refuse it, but every time you connect the USB adapter, the installation window will pop up.

Pros

1. The sensor itself is not bad, quite accurate. With acceleration disabled in the mouse settings (checkbox Increased pointer accuracy), move the cursor to the left edge of the screen and put a support to the left of the mouse, then move the mouse left and right at different speeds back and forth, then return the mouse to the support, at this time the cursor approaches the border screen with an accuracy of about 10-20 pixels. Taking into account possible measurement errors, it is quite accurate. 2. If you do not use the mouse for some time, it does not fall asleep completely, as, for example, the Logitech M330 Silent (2022) does, when you need to press one of the buttons to start working again. Probably, there is an accelerometer here, which is triggered by the slightest movement (1-2 mm on the rug).

Cons

1. It is inconvenient to hold the mouse with a claw grip - the little finger hurts. In the attached photos, I tried to show exactly how I hold the mouse and where my little finger rubs. 2. The mouse sensor continues to work with a significant separation from the surface, which is bad, because. forces the mouse to move higher when moving. 3. The mouse is too small. As a laptop portable in order to use it on the road for a few minutes, it will do. For a full-fledged work at the table - not very much. 4. The mouse is very heavy. Especially for its small size. In the hand lies like a piece of stone. The declared weight is 68 g. But this is the weight without batteries, and there are already two of them, and heavy AA ones. As a result, the weight grows by 40% to 113 g. 5. Idiot Razer Synapse software, the installer of which weighs ~400 MB, the main functionality of which is fake whistles related to LGBT lighting and recommending discounts on games. Installation takes about 5 minutes. It's a lot. Plus, the Razer logo appears for a few seconds every time the user logs into Windows - infuriating. As for the frequent loss of communication or the operation of the buttons every other time, I did not notice this. But I only tested with a 2.4 GHz USB adapter. The adapter was placed in a USB hub closer to me. When working in the kitchen, I noticed intermittent movement a couple of times. Possibly radio interference due to the operation of the refrigerator. Other devices operating at 2.4 GHz can also affect the operation of the mouse. For example, a Wi-Fi router. Try switching it to 5GHz mode. The computer's power supply can also be affected (I have an expensive BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 850). Within the room I checked - everything works fine. And even from another room, it works through a plasterboard wall, but only up to the middle of the room.
