Buttons, Scroll Wheel

This is where the Revenger S differs the most from the Minos X5—apart from the shell design, of course. Both main buttons hardly require any force to actuate. They both have some unnecessary travel before and after the click, but I did not find this to be a real deal breaker. They might not be perfect for spamming, which is especially true for the right click that feels a bit strange compared to the left one; it feels as though it has a tad more travel and a slightly different click-feel towards it. The easy fix for the pre travel "issue" is to remove the front two mouse feet and tighten the screws until the pre travel disappears. Make sure not to overtighten the screws too much as it might break the threading, however.

I have seen and tried many mice with main buttons way worse than the Revenger S, but there is still a lot of room for improvement here. Interestingly, the Minos X5 has noticeably better clicks in my opinion. The switches are Omron D2FC-F-Ks rated for 50 million clicks. This is great as many mice with a considerably higher price tag use lower-quality switches than these.


The scroll wheel feels good, but the notches might be too well-defined for some. It's ideal for gaming, but may tire you out over the long run. However, I quite like it. The encoder is made by Alps, a well-respected manufacturer.


I find the middle click to be very tight and stiff. For me, it was uncomfortable, but I am used to light middle mouse buttons. This switch is a lower-quality tactile switch (compared to the micro switches for the main buttons).


The CPI button requires the least force to actuate of them all, and the click-feel is pretty nice here. The button itself is not in the way, so no accidental clicks should occur.


Both side buttons are subpar when compared to those of the Minos X5, which is strange since they use the exact same switches. The front button is very stiff and mushy, while the rear button is a bit more tactile and requires less force to actuate. They both have a bit too much travel before the click happens. The switches used here are marked with a "W"; I am not familiar with that brand.

I made a video in order to demonstrate how these buttons sound:

Cable

Moving on to the cable, it is pretty good; there is no braiding, and it does not generate a lot of friction on the mouse pad and is fairly flexible, though not perfectly so. The cable is 1.8 m long, and the USB connector is gold-plated.

Mouse Feet

The Revenger S has three excellent stock mouse feet; they glide across the surface smoothly and evenly with a medium amount of friction. After a few days of use, they will eventually break in, which makes for a smoother glide with even less friction. I really do like these feet, and thankfully, we have an extra set of them out of the box.

Disassembling

This mouse can be disassembled after removing four screws in total, which are located beneath the mouse feet. The upper shell has a small PCB that holds the side and CPI switches. This upper PCB is connected with a ribbon cable, so be careful during disassembly because it can be ripped out easily by accident.
