👎 Cons

  • Specific CPI ranges for the two sensitivity settings are not explicitly provided, only that they are pre-defined by professional gamers.
  • The optical technology, while tournament-grade, might not offer the same level of granular customization or extreme high DPI as laser sensors for some users.
  • While 3 programmable buttons are available, this might be fewer than some users prefer for highly customized gaming macros.
