It's rather thick though, but at least it doesn't really generate a lot of friction when it contacts with the mousepad, compared to some other mice's cables. The cable is way more flexible than on the white version. You can access the two screws holding the mouse together by poking two holes on the bottom feet, as seen on the picture below. Just make sure you remove the protective film from them. I usually instantly change the feet of my mice to some custom solid PTFE ones, but this one remains unchanged for sure. I like a smooth and low friction glide, and this is definitely top notch. The side buttons could use some further improving, they have some pretravel and they are quite mushy to be honest. The middle click has a perfect acutation force as well, not too light and not too hard either. Tactile, defined steps, yet easy to scroll and no play between to notches. I think it's safe to say it's Alps level. No I didn't hear of them either until now. The scroll wheel encoder was manufactured by a company called F-Switch. There's some post-travel after the acutation but it didn't bother me half as much as it did on the Rival/Sensei 310. The left button was perfectly crisp out of the box, very good click feeling, way better than on my Zowie ZA12. My right main button had some pretravel, but I've fixed that easily with some electrical tape.

This affects pretty much all the newer mice out there. I'm pretty convinced they'll die earlier, because of the QC standards in 2017. The switches are Omron D2FC-F-K(50M) models, which should last 50 million clicks. This is the part where the mouse improved the most since the last iteration. You can read all about setting it up here. There's static lightning in predefined colors that you can assign to the 3 main profiles. There was a little noice when I shook the mouse, but I realized it was the cable at it's the entry point. There is almost zero creaking on my copy when I press it with a reasonable force (obviously it creaks if I squeeze the sides very very hard). This aspect has improved so much since the first version it's off the charts. It can get slippery when wet, so if your hands are sweaty you might consider using some kind of a grip tape on these areas. The side is uncoated, textured ABS plastic. Cleaning's not much of a hassle though, so it doesn't bother me at all. The top is coated with some matte UV coating, which collects fingerprints like I collect mice. I would say this is the perfect weight for my taste. It weighs around 80 grams, which is fairly light for a mouse of this size. The shape is rather close to a Zowie ZA13, but it's a bit taller on the front and more narrow at the back. It's a small-medium sized, ambidextrous mouse, mainly focused on right-handed users, as there are side buttons on the left side only.

It contains a mouse (surprise), a guide, and an extra set of feet. The front panel has a transparent plastic cutout, so you can peek inside. So it's pretty much a standard mouse box, with some information about the mouse printed on it. Same as the white version's - this sentence will be repeated quite a few times, sorry in advance.
