Con
 Not suitable for all hands/grips

For people with large hands, it's really hard to have full control of the mouse. What is more, its light weight makes this even harder. The mouse is great, but it won´t suit you if you are a grown up man/woman with large hands. If you have small hands then this mouse is great for you.

There is not too much weight to the mouse and it feels a bit hollow, giving it a cheap feel.
