Cons
Con Rubber textured sides come off.
After prolonged use, the glue used to attach rubber textured sides no longer bind the sides.
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 Scroll wheel squeaks
When scrolling using the mouse wheel, an annoying squeaking occurs. Surprisingly, this is a more common complaint than one would think... Google it.
Con Poor build quality, or longevity of product
Often need to get a replacement.
Con Distracting lights
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 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.
