Switch feel split reviewers: some liked the crisp, reliable feel, while others found weight, inconsistency, wobble, or grind.

Left and right click quality was mostly positive, with praise for consistency and similar actuation between sides.

Left and right click quality was highly praised by some reviewers but criticized by others for heavy feel, wobble, and grind.

Premium feel was mixed: some found the mouse premium, while others felt the coating or hollow shell hurt the premium impression.

Premium feel came from the compact density and understated RGB/design touches.

Glide smoothness was consistently praised across stock PTFE feet and multiple surfaces.

Glide was often excellent, especially on PTFE feet, though two reviewers were lukewarm or negative on stock skates.

Battery life was generally praised as good to excellent, with caveats that high polling rates and active use drain it faster.

Battery life was a clear strength, with multiple reviewers saying the 100-hour claim held up over long use.

The DPI ceiling was seen as technically impressive, but one reviewer found very high DPI practically unusable.

The 26,000 DPI ceiling was treated as more than enough and even described as fantastic.

Shape comfort was generally praised, especially for right-handed ergonomic users, but hand size and finger length created caveats.

Shape comfort depended heavily on hand size, from joy and comfort in small-hand use to poor fit and pain for larger hands.

Fingertip grip comfort was mixed; some found it possible, while others found the ergonomic shell awkward for fingertip use.

Fingertip comfort was strong for smaller hands but poor for at least one larger-hand relaxed fingertip user.

The cable was usually praised as flexible, free-flowing, and low-friction, with one reviewer calling it a bit stiff.

The cable was praised as light and malleable with little drag in wired mode.

Long-term durability was not directly tested, but switch durability and repairability evidence supported limited durability scoring.

Durability over time was inferred positively in one review from tight, compact, long-lasting-feeling construction.

Materials quality was scored through reviewer judgments about the nylon/PBT shell, coating, and perceived premium or slippery feel.

Materials felt solid and mostly pleasant, though one review was more mixed due to coating behavior.

Sensor performance was one of the best-reviewed areas, repeatedly described as accurate, top-tier, or flawless.

Sensor performance was broadly positive, with reviewers calling the sensor good or performance fine across gaming use.

RGB was generally appreciated as a rare lightweight-mouse touch, though a few reviewers disliked the implementation.

RGB was understated and liked as a small personality touch, but reviewers did not describe it as feature-rich.

Scroll wheel quality was mixed, ranging from excellent and distinct to average, light, or prone to overscrolling.

The scroll wheel was usually considered reliable or good, but one reviewer struggled with consistent actuation.

Side button quality was mixed: several reviewers praised crisp placement, while others found them small, high, or stiff.

Side buttons were generally usable and well placed, with disagreement over sponginess, wiggle, and post-travel.

Click noise impressions were mixed, from quiet and pleasant to fairly loud, depending on reviewer and switch comparison.

Click sound was praised in one review as sharp, precise, and satisfying.

Reviewers consistently praised tracking accuracy and precision, with only one reviewer warning that extreme DPI values became irregular.

Reviewers praised precise tracking and high-control movement, though one noted the 800 DPI setting felt a little fast.

Grip texture was the most divided attribute, ranging from non-slip praise to strong complaints about slippery coating.

Grip texture was praised for grippiness and finger security but criticized in humid use for becoming swampy.

Bluetooth was viewed as a useful convenience for work, travel, and multi-device use, not as the preferred competitive mode.
