Surface


Now, this is the part I like the most about this mouse. It feels so great in the hand that words cannot really describe it. This is absolutely intuitive of course, so you might hate what I like. But generally speaking, it is slightly rougher and grippier than the usual non-rubberized mouse coating. The main buttons are made out of PBT plastic, which, unlike the commonly used ABS, doesn't get shiny after even years of heavy use - nor does it lose its color.


On the right side of the mouse is a small patch of textured silicone. This is a thing many users didn't like about this mouse so far because it is rather slippery. My hands are on the sweaty side, and I too didn't like this small side grip. But everyone's different, so it might be to the liking of some users.

Build Quality

The build quality is simply excellent. I found no flaws whatsoever. There are no creaking, squeaking, or rattling sound from the mouse. Everything feels right in place. The only thing I noticed was a small amount of pre-travel on the main buttons.

Weight

The stock weight is roughly 102 grams with a few centimeters of cable. This is kind of heavy for a mouse of this size. But worry not, this can be changed. There is a built-in piece of weight that can be removed, and you're instantly down to 89 grams. Now, that's a more sensible mass, isn't it? I would really suggest removing it as the mouse feels very slow and sluggish with that piece of metal inside. Of course, this is a matter of personal preference, but lighter mice are generally also better for your wrist joints over the long run.
