Cons
Con No MAC OS drivers available
This is a common con for many gaming mouses. But since the mouse buttons can be bound to direct input events, lack of drivers can be overcome.
Con Functions cut down if not using Roccat keyboard
There are extra features with the Easy-Shift[+] thumb button but a Roccat keyboard has to paired with the mouse to utilize them.
Con Scroll wheel
Although it features nice, defined scroll steps, the rubber coating on the X5's scroll wheel is quite unexceptional to say the least.
