Designed and tested in collaboration with some of the world''s top gamers, the Prime Mouse has a comfortable fit for consistent comfort even on the toughest gaming levels. It is very light and weighs only 69 g, which reduces the load on the hands. Heavy-duty construction stands up to the toughest use, while a new matte textured surface provides a secure, non-slip grip. Removable cable.
- - convenient form - good glides - wheel my respects -the best material-plastic that I had (does not slip even if the hand is sweaty) -suitable for any grip - clicks are very clear and tactile
- -dense cable (before that there were mice: glorious, g-wolves, you almost don’t feel the cable there, but here it is still more dense
- Form, quality, flexible setting, light (well, this is already a matter of taste)
- The wheel is too easy to press, boring design
- Clear clicks, build quality, charge lasts a long time
- For some, the buttons may seem loud
- Excellent sensor. Optical switches. Convenient form. Matte finish. Light weight. Quality plastic. Lots of settings.
- 1. The scroll wheel switch is easy to press. Spin the wheel and suddenly click. You have to get used to it. 2. Detachable cable. To work with a stationary home computer - this complicates the design and increases weight.
- - Bomb-free form, in the hand lies like a glove (similar to the EU Zoya but does not completely copy it). Claw grip and fingers fit perfectly, hybrid grips, palm grip (provided that the hand is no more than 19 cm). Quite easy to lift and hold. - Bomb coating, tactilely very pleasant, not easily soiled, not slippery both in wet, just warmed up, and in dry and cold hands. - In my copy, just a great fit of the wheel and very clear cut-offs. Not a hint of the smallest backlash, it feels like the level of some roccata. The click requires medium effort, the click is not tight. - The new "prestige" switches have simply amazing tactility, a rather interesting (pleasant) nature of the sound when clicked, and the uniformity of the click. The main buttons are separated from the body, have light and very useful recesses for the fingers and an amazing fit of the panels without backlash and extra movement back and forth, they sit like glued. Just a monolith. The click of the side buttons is very clear, and the buttons themselves do not have an ounce of extra travel. - The assembly of the entire mouse itself is monolithic, now this is extremely rare, but here it is. There is simply nothing to crunch in the design of the entire body and nothing dangles and does not go back and forth. The most obvious association when evaluating a build is a brick. The mouse is felt entirely as a monolithic piece without a single hint of something there. - The top sensor (3389) and its setup are excellent. And the legs made of not the best Teflon nevertheless provide quite a good glide. - Normal weight of 70 grams and the absence of any honeycombs. - A minimum of RGB lighting, the severity of the appearance. - Where are the peripheries of the SS without their proprietary software? It is here, but if you do not need it, then the mouse works fine even without it out of the box. CPI can be switched with the button at the bottom, 400 immediately go. But even after more detailed settings through the software installation, you can also score on it after. Although it will not be superfluous to ate the firmware after the purchase, and this is only through the software.
- - Not the best (but not the worst) cable, it could be softer for a wired version of the mouse. For some reason, the cable is made removable (why?) and for some reason the micro-usb connector is left, while the wireless version has type c (I would think about unifying the production of all mouse models, but then why change the connector type). - The side buttons are not the best. Bad differentiation is still forgivable and not everyone will notice it, but I personally did not appreciate the hardness in pressing with not the most convenient (thin and sharp) form. Forget about pressing the swipe right away, it would be possible with more softness of these buttons and a less sharp shape (otherwise you just raise the mouse by swiping your finger up). But from the pros - a complete monolith in the fit, no hint of pre and post travel, but at the cost of increased rigidity and the so-so shape of the buttons, which, with the persistence of a ram, stretches from the previous rivl and aerox. - Making legs out of black and white Teflon for different versions of almost the same mouse, it's like color differentiation of pants in a well-known (not everyone) movie. For what? The wireless version has white Teflon feet, while the less premium wired version has plain black. Teflon is not bad, it is quickly polished and the slip is good, but why was it necessary to fence the garden? At 21, putting black Teflon legs in mice is already a sign of bad taste, just like not putting interchangeable legs in the kit. - A wheel button clock switch in a mouse worth more than 50 bucks is, well, such a solution, think about it. The click is not bad in terms of pressing force, but it feels extremely cheap. The Chinese in cheap mice manage to put all sorts of keys, TTCs and even various huans under the wheel, but what prevented the manufacturer of premium peripherals from doing this? - Surprisingly, there are no more obvious flaws.
- Lightness, precision, pleasant to the touch and girth.
- The only drawback - I think it would be better to put other glides.
- Good shape, tactile click (new stylus technology), coating No matter how sweaty the hand, the mouse does not slip Top sensor (well, in a rodent for 6k this is the norm) The mouse lies in the hand like a glove, but everywhere there is BUT
- 1. HORRIBLE wire, at first I thought I'd get used to it, but after 3 months of use I can say that it's very annoying. Not only is the wire removable and, accordingly, the adapter adds weight to the mouse and changes the balance, it is also not flexible, it always freezes in strange positions and sometimes it comes to hand at the wrong time 2. Medium glides
