Just as reliable as a wired mouse
The G900βs transmitter performs well enough that itβs almost indistinguishable from other wired mice, in some cases even surpassing them in click latency tests. This, combined with its high quality sensor, makes it a great wireless option for a gaming mouse.
See More
Top
Con
Limited thumb buttons
Those switching from the G700 will find that they are going from 4 thumb buttons to two. Yes, the G900 allows for customizable side buttons of up to 2 on each side, but those who like to have more than 2 thumb buttons for gaming (especially MMOs) may find this hard to adapt to.
See More
Top
Pro
Excellent sensor
The Logitech G900 uses a PMW 3366, a virtually flawless sensor that doesnβt alter movement in any way. It is seen as a slight upgrade to the FK1βs sensor but the differences are so minor that any improvement is only marginal.

Lasting and sturdy build quality
Logitech mice typically have above average build quality and the G900 is no exception. The body is made with a rubberized coating that doesnβt scratch easily and is pleasant to hold. The main buttons have a mechanical pivot design that contributes to its precise and tactile button clicks. The cable is braided, which prevents it from twisting and damaging the wires.

Exceptionally comfortable for palm grips
The Mionix Naos 7000 gaming mouse was designed for a full five-fingered palm grip.

Larger than a typical gaming mouse, its ergonomic shape is very comfortable for long gaming sessions.

Software is Windows-only
The software does not support Linux or macOS operating systems, meaning the mouse can't be configured under them.

Somewhat heavy
Being that this is a wireless mouse there is the battery weight to contend with. Batteries in the weight of the device is 152 grams, which isn't all that bad considering but still not for users that like a lighter mouse. The mouse can also be used with a single battery, which is useful for not only reducing weight but also for balancing the mouse. With two batteries the mouse can be a bit slipper on the right side when picking it up as the pinkie and ring fingers don't have as much to grip - but balancing the weight over towards the thumb allows the mice to be more easily picked up as the side buttons allow for a decent place to grip.

Gets all the little nuances that make a mouse comfortable to use just right
The left and right mouse buttons have small grooves to help fingers rest in place. The left side lets the thumb grip the mouse comfortably. The side buttons are in an easily accessible, yet unobtrusive position. The coating is slightly textured to help you control the mouse confidently. EC2-A weighs just 94 grams, making it light enough for quick mouse movements and won't cause fatigue after extended use. At the same time, the mouse feels solidly built. Its elegant, ergonomic design is suitable for most hand sizes regardless of the way you hold it. It's worth noting that Zowie offers the EC1-A version for larger hands.

All Zowie mice are built to be straightforward and simple to use. However, its settings cannot be changed easily during normal use: you have to unplug the mouse and use a combination of different button presses while plugging the mouse in, which is unintuitive and a hassle to learn.

Specs
Top
Pro
Comfortable to use
Its rather small size and lower than usual height allow for a substantially comfortable grip. The sides have a dent which helps fingers positioning. Additionally, the sides are smoothly textured so you shouldnβt ever feel like your hand is losing its grip.
See More
Top
Con
Lacks sidebuttons
Since itβs in the style of a classic three-button mouse, the lack of side buttons limits customization options.
See More
Top
Pro
Well suited for fingertip and claw grips
Unless you have small hands, this is a mouse that is meant for people who use either the claw or fingertip grip. In addition to being a small mouse and having low height, it's also extremely light, weighing only 68 grams. This makes it easy to control with a fingertip and claw grip as it relies on the mouse being as agile as it can be.
See More
Top
Con
Small size takes some getting used to
The Roccat Lua is a small mouse, measuring only 11.5 cm in length and 3 cm in height. The width is pretty standard with 6.5 cm at the back and narrows down towards the front. The small size might raise some concern about the grip. If itβs your first mouse of this size you might need to adjust your grip to accommodate for the smaller scale of the mouse. Commonly the grips change and include some elements of a fingertip grip.
See More
Top
Pro
Well built
Even though itβs a budget mouse, it has high quality components to ensure that the mouse can last for years. There are no unnecessary moving parts while button clicks are clear and donβt give out after heavy use. The body of the mouse consists of rubberized coating at the top and textured plastic on the sides which gives it a quality feel.

Con
Top DPI value may feel insufficient for some gamers
The DPI amount caps at 2000, which might not be enough for some.
See More
Top
Pro
Good amount of customization provided by the accompanying software
The software is very simple and easy to use. It lets you change the DPI steps, double click speed, vertical scroll speed, polling rate, very basic lighting control and the choice of hand-mode. In addition, it has the option to reassign its buttons, but since the Lua has only four buttons itβs practically useless as the main three are almost always invariable.
See More
Top
Con
Can suffer from small amounts of jitter on high DPI values
This mouse's DPI setting can be set from 250 to 2000, in increments of 250. At DPI settings higher than 1250, it can generate small amounts of jitter. The mouse works the best at 500 DPI with a 1000Hz polling rate.
See More
Top
Pro
Excellent budget sensor
The Avago A3050 optical sensor that the Lua uses has small, unnoticeable prediction and doesnβt carry over perfect tracking at high speeds (depending on the chosen DPI setting, over 60-120 inches per second or 1.5 m/s-3 m/s). But unless you use it at extremely low sensitivity, it shouldnβt be a problem. When reaching such speeds, some negative acceleration may be noticed.
