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 shouldn’t ever feel like your hand is losing its grip.
See More
Top
Con
Lacks sidebuttons
Since it’s 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 it’s 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 it’s 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 don’t 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.

Top
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 it’s 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 doesn’t 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 shouldn’t be a problem. When reaching such speeds, some negative acceleration may be noticed.

Con
Rubber cord is prone to breaking
It has a rubber type cable which means there’s less resistance and drag against the desk but at the same time can be more prone to damage when bent.

Top
Con
Light weight takes some getting used to
At 68 grams, it's about 30% lighter than most mice. Switching from an average mouse might take some getting used to and feel like the Lua is a bit floatey.

Top
Pro
Can be used by both righties and lefties
Uses an ambidextrous design that actually feels as if it is and ergonomic design no matter what hand is using it.
See More
Top
Con
Uses an outdated sensor
The Lua’s optical sensor might be a bit dated, since it was released five years ago. Still, it mostly only shows weakness when it is facing really fast mouse movements. And as long as you are aware of it, this shortcoming can be entirely avoided.

Excellent 3200 CPI optical sensor
The Zowie FK1 gaming mouse uses an Avago 3310 optical sensor which is regarded as one of the best in the world. It has no built-in acceleration and no angle snapping. It’s practically jitter-less when set at 125 and 500Hz polling rate, and has barely noticeable jitter at 1000Hz. The Avago 3310 has no native CPI, it is made to have each step of 50 CPI work as well as the previous one. With CPI steps of 400/800/1600/3200 for the FK1, all CPI choices should work equally well.

Con
Only 4 DPI settings

No unnecessary functionality
Zowie has kept the mouse remarkably simple. There's no RGB lighting, adjustable weights, or superfluous buttons that end up only getting in the way. It's plug-and-play and requires no additional software. You can customize only the essential settings such as lift off distance, polling rate, or switch between left or right-handed modes with just a combination of specific button presses.
See More
Top
Con
Not quite as comfortable as a non-ambidextrous mouse
Due to its thoroughly ambidextrous design, sometimes the ring and pinky fingers can touch the side buttons. Even though they are deactivated and won’t cause mispresses, they are still not as comfortable as non-ambidextrous designs.

Just as reliable as a wired mouse
The G900’s transmitter performs well enough that it’s 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 doesn’t alter movement in any way. It is seen as a slight upgrade to the FK1’s sensor but the differences are so minor that any improvement is only marginal.

The Avago 3310 sensor used by this mouse is exceptional. It delivers a true portrayal of mouse movement with no jitter, acceleration or prediction. The available DPI choices of 400/800/1600/3200 are all native and should ensure an equally good performance, regardless of which one is chosen.

Ergonomic, accommodating shape, especially for those with big hands
Though it may look tame, the mouse’s shape is quite ergonomic. Its subtle curves help your fingers position themselves while also allowing various grip types. For the same reason, the bulge of the mouse is located strictly in the middle, making it accommodating for the most amount of people, and even more for gamers that have big hands. Nevertheless, it may be more suited for palm grips because of the subtle curve at the right side which provides support for the ring and pinky fingers.

Built to last
The switches don’t randomly break down, no component excessively rattles and the scroll wheel doesn’t degrade easily. Although the mouse has a rubber cable which is quite vulnerable to bending and damage, the mouse as a whole is well built and can be expected to last.

Coating ensures a good grip

Excellent sensor
The G303, along with the Logitech G502 and G900 and the Corsair M65 PRO RGB, has the single best sensor on the market, the Pixart PMW3366. This sensor has no acceleration or angle snapping that can't be disabled and has a native DPI of 12,000.

Con
Build quality not the best
Scrolling wheel sometimes makes cranking noises while you are scrolling through it. If you tighten the mouse from the sides, the cheap plastic will make a noise.

Compact size gaming mouse
People with small hands needn't look at mice like the Corsair M65 gaming mouse and despair. The G303 gaming mouse has a solution. It's about the size of the $5 USB mice that are often bundled with desktop computers, but it has most of the features of a full-size gaming mouse.

Con
A minimum selection of buttons
The Logitech G303 only has one controllable button on the top, two buttons on the side and a programmable mousewheel. The mouse offers six different buttons if you include left- and right-click.

Comfortable
Logitech G303 is very comfortable if you have medium to small hands, and if you are using your mouse with claw or fingertip grip.

Pro
Accessible price
The G303 gaming mouse has an MSRP of $49.99, but it goes on sale rather frequently for as low as $24.99. Compared to high-end gaming mice like the Rival 700 and the G502, that's quite a steal.
