The ergo shape on this mouse doesn't feel quite as aggressive as I thought it would and ends up being very comfortable despite not exactly matching my weird, fat hands. I think it's actually a bit safer of a shape than a lot of people have been claiming. The build quality is solid. There's a tiny bit of creak if I squeeze the mouse harder than any sane person would in use, otherwise it's creak free. The buttons are all great. 20M Omrons also won't have the same weird failures as the 50Ms will, which is a big deal. Trigger buttons have a little noticeable pre-travel, but it's small enough I don't notice unless I'm paying attention. Side buttons have barely any pre-travel and allow a fair bit of post travel. The clicking and actuation force are great. The scroll wheel is one of the better I've seen, but let's face it, no one has perfected the scroll wheel yet. There are no problems with sensor tracking. The CPI settings being hardware only is super nice coming from the clunky Corsair and Razer software, but it would be nice to see some smaller steps down at the low CPI levels that most people use. The stock sliders are like butter.
The cord is of the slightly heavier variety, which is great if you don't like babying the super light cords, but not so great if you whip your mouse around like Willow Smith's hair and that little bit of cable drag bothers you (buy a bungee you whiners). It could also do with a tiny bit more length for those of us with weird set-ups. RGB looks great if you care about that sort of thing.
Up to this point everything about the mouse is either great, nitpickable-but-still-good, or things that boil down to personal preference. The one thing I find objectively bad about the mouse is the finish. The black one I received is a super matte finish that is wicked slippery. Adding some Lizard Skin bat grip to the sides of the mouse completely fixes this issue, but they really should have chosen a better finish in the first place. Adding the grip tape takes this mouse from slightly annoying to damn near perfect for me. A better finish would make this a 5-star mouse hands down.
