Build Quality

Overall build quality is solid. When shaking the mouse, there is a slight rattle from an indeterminable location. When applying lateral pressure, no creaking of the shell can be observed. Lastly, when slamming down the mouse, no accidental clicks occur.

Buttons

Main buttons on the Strix Impact II Moonlight White are excellent. Both pre and post-travel are remarkably low, resulting in a snappy and satisfying click feel. Since the clicks are separated from the main mouse body, slight button movement can be provoked, but it's hardly noticeable during use. Button stiffness is light. Omron D2FC-F-K (50M) China switches are installed by default, but can be replaced with either Omron D2F Series (D2F, D2F-F, D2F-01, D2F-01F) or Omron D2FC Series (D2FC-F-7N, D2FC-F-7N (10M), D2FC-F-7N (20M), D2FC-3M) switches. Changing the switch is as simple as pulling the old one out and putting the new one in.


Side buttons are good. There is a decent amount of pre-travel and an even greater amount of post-travel, as the buttons can be pushed in way past their actuation point. The click feel itself is quite decent, though. The pressure point is even across the entirety of these. Button size and placement is good as actuation is possible rather easily by rolling one's thumb over these. A set of Kailh switches (grayish shell, red plunger) switches is used here.

At the bottom of the mouse is a button for cycling through the set CPI levels. Its click feel is decent.

Scroll Wheel

The scroll wheel is good. Scrolling up in particular is rather noisy, and while the individual steps are reasonably well-defined, scrolling is fairly light and tactility thus lacking. The encoder comes from Kailh (black core) and has a height of 11 mm. The middle (scroll wheel) click requires little force for actuation. A seemingly unbranded tactile switch is used for this one.

Coating

While the gray sides have a riffle pattern along with plain ABS plastic, the top has a matte white surface. Grip is fine on both, and neither attracts fingerprints, dirt, or the likes too much. While the top is easy to clean, and there are no signs of wear left after doing so, the sides are prone to catching dirt due to the riffle pattern. All in all, very good materials.

Disassembly

Disassembling the Strix Impact II Moonlight White is trivial. All screws are exposed, so just remove their covers, unscrew them, and the top shell will come off with ease. Both the screws and their sockets are of high quality too, so durability should not be an issue. The internal design is equally simple. Everything sits on a single PCB, aside from the auxiliary PCB next to the scroll wheel providing illumination. Five screws in total are used to affix the PCB to the bottom. The MCU is rear-mounted and very difficult to identify, but from what I can tell, it belongs to the STM32F072x series, whose datasheet can be found here.


As for the soldering and general quality of the PCB, I'm unable to find any noteworthy flaws.
