Price:	$24.99

I saw this and was: "wait, what? No Asus tax?"

And then I saw all the cons and understood why.

Also they castrated user swapable buttons found in their RoGarbage and ProArt mice.

Truly baffling release by Asus. Is a bit of paracord and decent skates really so expensive that it would add to the price? SMH. Even at this price point you can do better, and if one is willing to add 10-20 bucks (not an unreasonable ask) - the world is your oyster with options that completely eclipse this.

Do have a question though. How bad IS the click latency like this, realistically? The graph makes it look terrible, and it is, but I am asking since I remember older Zowie mice (from 3310 era and before) were also somewhat notorious for fairly high click latency, but that didn’t stop them from being a top choice among, say, professional CS players. I assume this one is significantly worse?

In my experience, the degree to which it is noticeable depends on how the mouse is used. For anything click timing related, it mostly is a matter of getting used to it—i.e., one needs to the time the clicks such that when flicking, you click ever so slightly before the crosshair is on the target. For reaction shots (think holding mid with AWP on Dust2) where you only have a set amount of time available to hit a shot, the additional latency may result in one missing a shot, however, especially when one's own reaction time is a bit on the slower side.
