Pros
Pro Great material for easy grip
Pro Extremely adjustable DPI
You can change the DPI from 50-16400. This isn't as important for MMOs, but different genres (like FPS) will benefit from this.
Pro 16M + LED colors
Variety of LED colors to suit any mood, or to match colors with the current game/desktop theme.
Pro Adjustable acceleration
You can configure the acceleration settings from 0-30g through software.
Pro Highly customizable
With three sets of swap-able thumb keys as well as two different grip plates, one that caters to claw grip and another that caters to palm grip, the Nyth is customizable to fit comfortably in anyone's hands.
Cons
Con No scroll wheel side-click
Most mice these days have this feature. This one lacks the ability to rock the wheel left or right. Not a huge con, but it means 2 fewer functions.
Con Side button customization is lacking
There is currently no way to setup a three button layout on the side (short of turning off three buttons in a six button setup). There is also no large buttons included, which means when using a button setup lower than twelve the buttons will still be the same size even though there is room to have less buttons that are larger. For the selling point to be customization of the mouse there really should have been optional larger buttons included in the kit to allow for easier button presses on low button setups.
