The cheap-looking processing is criticized. Many users complained that the first buttons failed after just a few months to 2 years. In addition, the mouse is considered too small and light, making it unsuitable for large hands.

It’s practical to use the thumb wheel to play shooters or MOBAs, use the numpad for demanding MMORPGs, and with the 2 buttons for normal tasks. Otherwise, the software is criticized; there have been regular bugs and crashes. However, it is admitted that the newer versions run significantly more stable and pleasantly.
