Pros

-
Weight was one of the strongest points across reviews, repeatedly described as feather-light, easy to move, and central to the mouse’s appeal.
-
Shape comfort was generally strong, especially for users who liked the low, simple Haste shape, though ambidextrous flatness did not satisfy everyone.
-
Glide smoothness was a major strength, with reviewers praising low-friction skates and smooth movement across pads, desks, and glass.
-
Battery life was widely praised, with reviewers often going many days or weeks without charging, though one questioned whether 100 hours was realistic.

-
Bluetooth support was valued as convenient and versatile, particularly for multi-device or console-adjacent setups, though it was not the preferred performance mode.

-
Value for money was generally favorable, with many calling it affordable or high value, though feature-light design made some reviewers question the price.

Sensor sentiment is mostly strong thanks to fast, fluid tracking and an upgraded sensor, but some reviewers reported buggy implementation or firmware-related sensor issues.

Cross-platform compatibility was positively noted for console and PC use where games support keyboard and mouse.
-
Switch feel was polarizing: several reviewers loved the satisfying, crisp clicks, while others found the switches too firm or a downgrade from the original.
-
Button responsiveness was usually praised as quick, tactile, and usable, although firm actuation caused missed clicks for one reviewer.

Wireless latency was mostly viewed as low or unnoticeable, though one reviewer cited latency and motion weirdness in stability testing.
-
Fingertip grip comfort was generally favorable, though some reviewers framed it as more hand-size dependent than claw grip.
-
Cable flexibility was praised on wired use, with reviewers calling the cable flexible, soft, and nearly unnoticeable.
-
FPS gaming suitability was positive, with reviewers saying it performed well in shooters and felt fast and accurate for FPS play.
-
Materials quality leaned positive for sturdy plastics and solid feel, but one reviewer disliked the scratchy, slippery plastic choice.

Polling-rate feedback is mixed: wired reviewers liked 8,000Hz responsiveness, while wireless reviewers accepted 1,000Hz but noted it trails higher-end options.

Portability was praised through the receiver garage and lightweight travel-friendly build.

Surface compatibility was mixed: the mouse worked very well on some pads and glass, but reviewers warned about leatherette or overly slick surfaces.
-
Handedness options were mixed: reviewers liked the symmetrical leftie-friendly shell, but side buttons only on the left limited true left-handed use.

Ergonomic design drew mixed opinions: some found the arch natural and stable, while others criticized the ambidextrous, low-profile design as not truly ergonomic.

Switch durability had limited opinionated support, with one reviewer saying the 100-million-click rating should satisfy most users.
