Cons
Con Requires signing in and connecting to a server before the mouse can be used to its full potential
To get the latest drivers or edit settings you have to download "synapse" an "online cloud device updater and profile storage" application. You have to register an account with your email and have it running in the background constantly for changes to take effect.
Con Poor build quality
Con Scroll Wheel may stop working
You can look it up on youtube, there's a video which explains how you can fix it but you'll need to physically open up the mouse and void the warranty.
Con Driver for side buttons in not open source
The mouse has two button for thumb control. The driver for the mouse and is not open source and not available for Linux users.
Con Distracting lights, wich can be turned of this can be done trough the Synapse software
Although the lights on the mouse look nice, they may bother or be distracting to some people. If they are too distracting, they can be turned off but that does require proprietary software that many do not like having installed.
Con Software issues
Using Razer Synapse causes slower boot up times as well as forced online sign in to use which is just a cheap attempt at an always online DRM.
Con Middle click dies way too fast
Several users of this mouse have complained that the middle click doesn't last long, in some cases not even 1 year.
Con Rubber coating
Like all of razer's mice, this one has a rubber coating. Which means that it's hard to clean, will drip oil after long period of disuse and generally less comfortable than hard plastic.
Con Software is Windows-only
The software does not support Linux or macOS operating systems, meaning the mouse can't be configured under them. However, if you have access to a Windows PC, you can configure the mouse on that device. And because the configuration and profiles will be saved on the device itself, you can use them on Linux and macOS.
Con Slightly less comfortable for claw and fingertip grips
Unfortunately, as it's more comfortable for palm grips, this has meant that users with claw and fingertip grips will find the mouse awkward to use.
Con Mushy scroll wheel
Tends to rotate when trying to depress for a click.
