Main problem=after about 7 months, the rubber on the scroll wheel stretched a lot, and now it slips when trying to scroll and I can't find a new scroll wheel on the Internet to buy and replace / there is no charge indication on the mouse, I had to buy a docking station to display the level charge / sometimes the software freezes (rarely, maybe 2-4 times a week) for 5 seconds the mouse does not work and this led to defeat in online games /mouse have very poor energy efficiency / It is also indicated on the docking station that the mouse can work at the polling frequency 4KHz (I carried out many tests, it gives an average of 1500, usually from 1300 to 1700, sometimes it drops to 900+ or rises to 2200-. The maximum number that was caught was 2303. The response was on average 0.8ms. The maximum that was caught was 0.6ms

oh damn, that sucks! But I can see that happening; I already notice that the scroll wheel isn't really as tactile compared to their MX Series and this mouse constantly goes freewheel very easily which is kinda annoying. As for the polling rate, the 4Khz is not really a benefit, at least right now. I think it's just a marketing thing to sell more; I've been playing for a few weeks now and there's really no visible difference between 1Khz vs 2Khz and 4Khz polling rate, except that at 4K, fps drops and I have a ryzen 5950X + 6900XT so never is being bottlenecked, I dont think.

@@lcadigitalmedia I tried to somehow wash the rubber band from the scroll wheel using various means so that it would decrease in size = did not give any results, in the end I glued it with special glue, it was difficult because the rubber band expanded not only in length, but also in width, and I wanted to fit into the recess on the scroll wheel, but in the end I managed to glue it by cutting off the excess, which ended up being an extra piece of rubber 13mm (0.51 inches) long.

@@Seele1803 hmm, that is certainly something that needs to be think about before spending for this mouse

[@dmac42trs]

Cool vid. Mouse reminds me of my Logitech MX but more beefed up for gaming

[@lcadigitalmedia]

Thanks! It is indeed a hybrid leaning towards gaming with up to 4000 Hz Polling Rate. It's not bad for productivity either.

Great mouse gonna get it. Nice review, tho one tip. If you game on your PC use windows 10 latest build. Win 11 is not that optimized yet..

[@lcadigitalmedia]

Hey, Thanks for liking the review, Appreciate it. Yes, win 10 is more optimize for gaming than win 11 for sure; but I am running an Unraid Server on this PC with 2 VM's (win 11, macOS)

[@RFnQ]

ty 4 the review now i know i should stay at 2000 bc i won’t notice the different between 2000 and 4000

[@lcadigitalmedia]

Hey, Thanks! Glad you like it. Yeah, the 4K Hz Polling rate is just Marketing BS, and taxing on your CPU unnecessarily. Maybe the pros can notice the difference, but I can't really; even the 1K Hz is pretty optimal.

[@masonrawdon155]

Just bought this bundle for like 200 after tax on amazon and like why is this still only like 30 to 50 bucks off a year to 2 years later lol Frick razer

[@lcadigitalmedia]

it's just Razer being what Apple is doing lol. The old TrashCan MacPro is still being sold for almost $5K which is stupid lol

[@geoffashden2]

The new 35K version is better!

[@michalmijok]

And a lot more expensive
