I have to say Fnatic did a great job overall with the Flick 2. The shape is rather unique, which means it might not be the most popular, although I think it fills some sort of gap in the current mouse market. It's a big ambidextrous mouse with a rather high profile—it resembles the shape of the Cougar Minos X5, but is way bigger. With medium to large hands, it can be a top choice for palm or claw gripping in my opinion, but for a fingertip grip, where only the tip of your index, middle, and maybe ring finger touch the mouse, it's too big, especially when it comes to the length of the shell.

The surface coating is absolutely great on this mouse. The whole mouse is nice and grippy, and the side panels are even rubberized with a little bit of texture added in. As for the build quality, that's one more thing Fnatic can be proud of. The Flick 2 is rock solid; I could not make it rattle or emit a single creak or squeak.

Sensor-wise, Fnatic went the right route by using a flagship model for the Flick 2: the PixArt PMW3360. This sensor behaves as expected, of course; it's raw, responsive, and tracks perfectly. It has the small issue all other mice equipped with the PMW3360 have, which is +2 ms input lag above 2000 CPI. Honestly, if you are not a competitive gamer, you shouldn't worry about this.

Buttons on the Fnatic Flick 2 are something I would like to see improved in the next release or even batches of this model. The main ones should have less travel and be more consistent, while the scroll wheel needs some tactility in my opinion. Maybe a better, higher-quality encoder can save it easily. The other buttons are decent as there are no real issues with them I could nitpick on. The click latency is also pretty low compared to the competition.

The Flick 2 has some rather extraordinary mouse feet; they are really large and take up most of the space on the bottom of the mouse, which leads to some added friction. However, the glide remains smooth and consistent. Unfortunately, there is no extra set of mouse feet in the box, and I'm going to count this as a negative because it's not easy or cheap to find replacements once the stock ones wear out. The cable is pretty good; however, it could use some more flexibility.

Fortunately, there aren't many mice out there with "early access" software—the Flick 2, however, is on this short list. Basically, the only downside of this is that macros are not yet implemented. Also, I'm not sure whether you will be able to add more or delete existing profiles or not, but it would surely be a good addition to Fnatic OP. It's also quite a heavyweight; consuming 181 MB of disk space and 87 MB of memory while running in the background isn't the best thing. As for RGB lighting, the Flick 2 has nothing to be ashamed of; it has three great-looking effects with quite a few customization options, all of which result in vivid colors and smooth transitions.

All in all, the Flick 2 is a good mouse, but it's not without small issues that should be fixed in a next release. Hopefully, the software will be finished soon, so I can cross that point off the negatives list. At $59.99, this mouse cannot be called cheap, but the competition with similar specifications is in the same boat. If the shape and specifications suit you, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Fnatic Gear Flick 2.
