Overall it's not bad, but I expected more.

The mouse is unique and intriguing, and I have not been able to locate any like products on the market. The impressions left by using this mouse are ruined because the scroll function is only implemented technically in a mediocre way. I am unable to advocate purchasing. It would be preferable to have a single-mode soft scroll rather than such a revolutionary miracle.

On May 11, 2022, I made the purchase of G604, and the next day, on May 12, 2022, I brought it back to the shop as soon as it opened, not feeling the least bit of regret but instead experiencing pure ecstasy. The time spent in ownership of this mouse was less than a day. The scroll, my wife, and the seller who handled the return all left a bad impression on me, and the latter was quite interested in learning the reason for the exchange. Everyone got some hands-on experience with scrolling, which was a great chance. This is the very first mouse that I've ever given back to its owner.

I have, for the time being, resorted to using an antiquated cheap wired genius tormented mouse that is probably around ten years old. At this time, there are no double clicks available. The scroll has been wadded, but its operation is now much more understandable. It is completely silent and free of any glitches. Just taking pleasure in a really run-of-the-mill mouse. Please don't mistake what I'm saying here for an advertisement. For these past ten years, I have not made a single purchase from genius.

Pros

1) The manufacturer says that one AA battery can power the device for 240 hours of operation when connected through USB and 5.5 months when powered by Bluetooth. Because of my previous work with the G305, I have reason to believe that this is quite close to the reality. 2) The HERO sensor, of which I have a less expensive version on the G305, has been demonstrated to perform without a single glitch. 3) Ergonomics that are both interesting and comfy. 4) The ability to swiftly and on the fly adjust the sensitivity of the sensor using two dedicated buttons that are both easy to use and do not conflict with one another in any way. 5) The capacity to instantly switch between Bluetooth and USB as the preferred mode of connection. Despite the fact that, from a business standpoint, it is not required for my operation. 6) An additional six buttons on each side. Despite the fact that I have never used them, even when there were only two of them (forward and backward), I have never utilized them. In addition, they provide the function of picking up mice. This is not anything I require. This nuance did not factor into my decision in any way. My preference is for the traditional set of buttons, and I'd want the empty seat to have a pickup that's a bit more pleasant. 7) Unique 2-mode scrolling. The concept is quite intriguing to consider. I had a strong desire to participate in this. Yet, the plan was not successful in its execution.

Cons

1) The mouse is somewhat cumbersome. Dragging something across the table has no effect, although relocating the mouse just out of habit can be a little awkward at times. Hardly crucial, in my opinion, to continue on. 2) Revolutionary 2-mode scrolling. This is what makes this paradigm appealing to the mouse in theory but difficult to use in fact because of the poor quality of the implementation in it. Iron is used to craft the hefty scroll wheel, which is made from a single piece. The equilibrium is only average. While using the classic mode, cutoffs are excessively jagged, and the sound is highly noisy. characterized by a rapid scrolling speed and notes of mechanical bounce. You are able to switch to smooth mode in order to avoid waking sleeping members of your home; however, I believe that it will be very inconvenient to operate with this mode on a continuous basis. It is impossible to reconcile the slight movements that occur as a result of poor wheel balancing. It would be nice to give it a bit more force, but as soon as you do that, you have to catch the wheel with your finger. If you use the tip of your finger to push the wheel well, it will spin for ten seconds. On the MX Anyway 2S, a scrolling mechanism with a similar two-mode design is applied in a user-friendly manner, making its operation a pleasurable experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't done very well on this G604.
