Cons
Con No Linux support
Con Button in front of scroll wheel is awkwardly placed
The button in the front of the scroll wheel is difficult to press when holding the mouse normally, while it is always nice to have more options of programmable buttons, the placement makes it difficult to use as ones grip will need ot be changes, which takes time off of other actions that one may need to perform.
Con Sticky light strip plastic
The plastic used for the light strip on the device tends to stick to ones skin, which can make moving ones hand feel odd.
Con Ostentatious logo
While not really visible when using the mouse, the logo on it may be off putting to some who want a sleek looking work desk as well as worthwhile gaming mouse.
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.
Con Feels cheap
There is not too much weight to the mouse and it feels a bit hollow, giving it a cheap feel.
