Buttons, Scroll Wheel

Moving to the buttons, the Surpassion impressed me. It has objectively better clicks than some of the more expensive Cougar mice, or more expensive mice in general. The main buttons have no unnecessary pre-travel before actuation, and their post travel is absolutely negligible. The right click has slightly more tension than the left click, which is often the case with ergonomic mice. The clicks are nice and tactile, and very spammable. There is no mushy feeling whatsoever; however, they are bit stiff for my taste (I prefer very light clicks). Also, they have a slightly sharper sound than usual. The switches are D2FC-F-Ks by Omron and are rated for 50 million clicks.


The scroll wheel is definitely among the best I have ever had the chance to try. The wheel itself is out of a great rubberized, non-textured material that provides a perfect grip, so no accidental slips should occur. The encoder is made by Alps; it is very tactile, yet the scrolling through the notches is still relatively light. There is absolutely no play between the notches; scrolling through these is just perfect. Listen here competition: this is how you should make a mouse scroll wheel!


As per usual, the middle mouse button has more tension than the main ones, but not by a great deal. One of my biggest problems with the Revenger S is that the middle click uses a tactile switch that has a very high operating force. The Supassion uses a Kailh micro switch that makes this button only slightly stiffer than its main buttons, which leads to no accidental clicks, but keeps it comfortably usable over longer gaming sessions.


At the top of the mouse shell is a small, square-shaped button that controls the lighting functions. This one is operated by a lower quality tactile switch that does the job just fine. More on the lighting a bit later.


Both side buttons are good, and they seem to use the same Kailh switch as the middle mouse button. These feel nice too, and again, there is no unwanted travel to them. They are pretty much one of the best side buttons I have ever dealt with.


The underside of the mouse contains two more buttons, but I will discuss these and the lighting controls in the Settings & Lighting section.

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

Cable

The cable is not bad at all, but I liked it less than the ones on the Revenger S and Minos X5. This one is a bit thicker and heavier, although its flexibility seems to be pretty good. If you are using a bungee (or if you simply hold it with some tape or something) you should not have any issues with it.

Mouse Feet

The mouse feet are not bad, but not spectacular either. They are quite mediocre, but the glide is smooth and even. They just have a bit too much friction, and their edges should be rounded down vertically a bit more to avoid a scratchy glide with thick and soft cloth mouse pads.

Disassembling

The mouse can be disassembled after removing four screws in total, which are located beneath the mouse feet. The upper shell has two PCBs that hold the side and CPI switches. These are connected with ribbon cables, so be careful while disassembling because the ribbon cables can be torn quite easily by accident.
