Button customization was widely supported through Armoury Crate, with reviewers noting remapping, DPI changes, and full button configurability.

Main-button responsiveness is strong overall, with reviewers describing snappy travel, good bounce-back, and reliable actuation during gameplay.

Button responsiveness was mostly strong thanks to quick switch response and low-lag feel, though one reviewer found the clicks firmer than expected.

The included cable was usually described as flexible or pliant, helping offset the awkward side-port layout when charging or using wired mode.

The cable was often considered light and flexible, but one review criticized it for kinking easily.

Charging is fast enough and possible while playing, but several reviewers criticized the side USB-C port because the cable can feel awkward or drag against the hand.

Charging convenience was a clear strength because the mouse can be used wired while charging through USB-C.

Claw comfort depends on hand size: some reviewers liked the low front and relaxed-claw support, while IGN found the small right-handed shell cramped for large hands.

Claw grip comfort was usually positive, with multiple reviewers finding the shape stable or comfortable for claw use.

Click latency is supported by adjustable debounce settings, giving users several response-time presets directly on the mouse.

Click latency was a major strength in reviews that measured or discussed it, including reports of near-instant or 0 ms wireless response.

Click sound is moderate rather than silent: reviewers described the main clicks as mellow or balanced, though one found them fairly loud.

Click noise was mixed: some found the buttons quiet or acceptable, while others described the clicks as loud, hollow, or noisy.

Connection stability was consistently positive, with reviewers reporting no lag, stutter, hiccups, or wireless dropouts in normal use.

Connection stability was strong where tested, with reviewers reporting stable wireless links and no noticeable lag or drops.

Cross-platform and multi-device use was a plus, with evidence for macOS, iPadOS, and simultaneous/multi-device workflows.

Debounce customization is broad on paper, but one reviewer had ghost clicks at the lowest setting while others praised the selectable 2/4/8/12 ms options.

The DPI/CPI range is wide, reaching 26,000, but preset-only adjustment limits fine-grained sensitivity tuning.

DPI range was repeatedly highlighted as high-end, especially on AimPoint versions with 36,000 DPI or earlier versions tuned up to 26,000 DPI.

Durability evidence is limited but positive around the finish, with Tom's Hardware noting the coating is designed for and withstood visible wear.

The M64's right-handed ergonomic shape was a major draw for several reviewers, especially those who liked its low front and thumb groove, though large hands may struggle.

Ergonomic design was generally praised, especially the tall right-handed shape and hand support.

Fingertip grip drew weak support because reviewers found the M64's curvature awkward for fingertip users compared with palm or claw.

Fingertip comfort was more conditional than palm or claw; some reviewers said it works, while others were unsure or preferred larger hands.

Firmware reliability had limited evidence: updates are available in software, but the update process sometimes required extra steps.

FPS suitability is strong when tracking and responsiveness matter, though the shape may favor controlled play more than universal fast-flick comfort.

FPS suitability was strong, with reviewers praising precision, flicking, fast-paced shooter performance, and low-latency wireless use.

Glide quality was praised, with reviewers citing smooth movement, strong PTFE feet, and good glide across multiple ordinary surfaces.

Glide smoothness was consistently praised, mainly due to PTFE feet and smooth movement on mousepads or desks.

Grip texture is mixed: the white coating was seen as grippier and durable, while the black coating was criticized as a fingerprint magnet.

Grip texture was generally helpful, with grooves, ridges, PBT, rubber, or grip tape improving control, though one reviewer found a side slightly slippery.

Handedness is limited because the M64 Pro is explicitly a right-handed ergonomic mouse, not an ambidextrous option.

Handedness is a limitation: the mouse is repeatedly described as right-handed, with left-handed users told to look elsewhere.

Left and right click quality was mostly praised for feel and reliability, with several reviewers calling the clicks snappy, satisfying, or trouble-free in gameplay.

Left and right click quality was mostly positive for low wobble, little pre/post-travel, and pleasant pressure, with some criticism of firmer clicks.

Lift-off distance can be adjusted, typically between 1 mm and 2 mm, and one reviewer specifically needed the 2 mm option on hard surfaces.

Lift-off distance customization was well supported in Armoury Crate, though one reviewer found its effect unclear.

Long-session comfort is mostly positive from Tom's Hardware, but the side charging cable and large-hand fit concerns limit universal comfort.

Long-session comfort was mostly positive due to shape and weight, but larger-hand fit, sweat, and cramped feel created some caveats.

Macro support appears in Armoury Crate evidence, where reviewers note macros can be assigned to buttons.

Materials feel mixed: the shell and UV coating are solid, but IGN felt the ultralight construction made the mouse feel somewhat cheap.

Materials quality was mixed: PBT, rubber, and clean finish were praised, while some plastic was described as hollow or cheap.

MMO suitability received only indirect support through a standard gaming sensor mode described for lower-precision MMO-style play.

MMO suitability was limited; precision was fine, but one reviewer specifically said there were not enough buttons for true MMO use.

MOBA suitability had limited positive evidence, mainly from side-button reassignment for skill-based games.

Motion consistency was a strong theme, with reviewers describing smooth, consistent movement and no obvious tracking irregularities.

Motion consistency was supported indirectly through accurate DPI, no jitter, stable polling, and precise sensor behavior across tests.

On-device settings are a strength for plug-and-play users because key controls can be adjusted directly on the mouse without software.

Onboard memory was a clear advantage, with many reviews noting four or five saved profiles on the mouse.

Palm grip comfort is decent for smaller to medium hands, but several reviewers warned the shape or size can be awkward for fingertip users or large hands.

Palm grip comfort was one of the strongest comfort themes, especially for the larger, high-hump shape.

The Pro model's 8K polling rate is widely documented and usually praised, though some reviewers said they could not always feel a meaningful difference.

Polling rate evidence was positive at 1000 Hz, including one benchmark that exceeded the advertised rate on average.

Portability was a useful but secondary strength, supported by dongle storage, multi-device use, and bring-one-mouse convenience.

Premium feel is mixed: some praised the non-hollow feel, while others felt the quality and finish were not quite top-tier for the price.

Premium feel was mixed-positive: some reviewers saw a premium or quality product, while price and plastic feel prevented universal agreement.

Profile or sensor-mode switching is available directly on the mouse, with Pro Gaming, Standard, and Low Power modes mentioned.

Profile switching was widely supported through onboard profiles and a bottom profile button.

Programmable-button support is basic, mostly limited to standard game or Windows button mapping rather than rich software macros.

Programmable buttons were consistently six-button oriented and useful, though not enough for dedicated MMO users.

RGB is essentially absent, with reviewers repeatedly noting no flashy lighting or special lighting beyond an indicator LED.

RGB features were well covered, with Aura Sync, profile-linked effects, and multiple zones on some models, but RGB reduced battery life.

Scroll wheel quality is generally solid, with tactile notches, consistent scrolling, and easy movement, though one reviewer described the wheel feel as merely okay.

Scroll wheel quality was generally good for tactile steps and texture, but there were complaints about noise and no adjustable resistance.

Sensor performance is consistently strong thanks to the Pixart/Pixart 3395-class sensor, accurate tracking, and stable performance on common surfaces.

Sensor performance was one of the strongest areas, with reviewers repeatedly praising the AimPoint sensor, precision, and high-end tracking.

Shape comfort is the most divisive area: some reviewers loved the locked-in ergonomic shape, while IGN found it cramped for large hands.

Shape comfort was strongly positive for palm and claw users, but size could be too small or bulky depending on hand size.

Side-button quality is split: some reviewers praised their size and crispness, while others found the M64's side buttons mushy.

Side button quality was mostly praised for reachability, placement, and satisfying clicks.

Skate durability was positive because several reviews noted spare PTFE feet or easy replacement if feet wear out.

Software stability was one of the more common weaknesses, with Bluetooth detection, forced update, and Armoury Crate failure complaints.

Software usability is polarizing because there is no software; plug-and-play users may like it, but many reviewers found on-device controls tedious or limiting.

Software usability was polarizing: Armoury Crate offers deep controls, but several reviewers called it overloaded, unintuitive, or unreliable.

Surface compatibility is acceptable on normal plastic and wood surfaces, but glass was reported unusable.

Surface compatibility was positive where reviewed, with calibration support and successful rough testing across glass, cardboard, and mousepads.

Switch durability was a standout feature, with replaceable switches and 70-million-click ratings repeatedly highlighted.

Switch feel is generally good, with reviewers praising snappy, balanced main clicks, though one early impression found the implementation merely okay.

Switch feel was generally good and customizable, though preferences differed between mechanical and optical switches.

Tilt gesture controls are effectively absent; the relevant review evidence says the wheel is pressable but not tiltable.

Value is mixed to weak: the $139 Pro version performs well, but reviewers questioned the 8K surcharge and compared it against strong software-supported competitors.

Value for money was divided: several reviewers found the feature set justified, while others saw the price as steep or insufficient versus rivals.

Weight is a clear strength, with reviewers repeatedly measuring or citing roughly 54-55 grams for the Pro model.

Weight was generally favorable for the AimPoint at 79 g, while the older 89 g wireless version was considered heavier than some competitors.

Wireless latency was mostly praised as lag-free, though IGN questioned whether 8K gains are noticeable to average users.

Wireless latency was consistently strong, with SpeedNova, low-latency 2.4GHz, and even 0 ms wireless latency evidence.
