Build Quality

Overall build quality is solid. There is no rattle when shaking the mouse. When applying lateral pressure, minor creaking but no flexing of the shell can be observed. Activating the side buttons by squeezing the sides is possible but requires excessive force. Lastly, accidental clicks when slamming down the mouse do occur infrequently regardless of the set debounce time.

Buttons

Main buttons on the MVP Wired are good to very good. There is some pre-travel, and post-travel is moderate, but the response itself is firm and snappy, albeit decidedly different between the left and right main button. Whereas the left one is heavy and loud, the right one is muted and quieter. Looking inside the mouse, it becomes clear that this discrepancy is due to the switches themselves. Despite being visually separated from the shell, lateral button movement is minimal. Button stiffness is medium. A pair of Kailh GM 4.0 (60 M) switches is used.


Side buttons are very good to excellent. Both pre and post-travel is minimal, and the button response firm and pleasing. The pressure point, however, isn't entirely even across the entirety of these. Button size and placement are good as actuation is possible rather easily by rolling one's thumb across. Another pair of Kailh GM 4.0 (60 M) switches is used for these.

At the top of the mouse is a single button for cycling through the set CPI levels, which works just fine. A Huano switch (white plunger) is used for this one.

Scroll Wheel

The scroll wheel is good. Scrolling up and down is noisy, but tactility is quite good, providing decently separated steps and fairly light yet controlled scrolling. The encoder comes from F-Switch (brown, orange core) and has a height of 11 mm. The middle (scroll wheel) click requires medium to high force for actuation. Yet another Kailh GM 4.0 (60 M) switch is used here.

Surface

The MVP Wired has a smooth matte surface all over. Grip is fine, but it does attract fingerprints, dirt, or the likes somewhat readily. It is easy to clean, and there are no signs of wear left after doing so. All in all, good materials.

Disassembly

Disassembling the MVP Wired is easy. The screws are located beneath the rear skate. Once those are taken care of, applying some force is necessary to dislodge the clips found at the sides and front.

The internal design is equally simple. Aside from the side-button PCB screwed into the top shell and connected through a 3-pin connector, everything sits on the main PCB, which is fairly thin. Three screws in total are used to affix the PCB to the bottom shell. The MCU is a Holtek HT68FB560, whose datasheet can be found here.


As for the soldering and general quality of the PCB, I'm unable to find any noteworthy flaws. That said, the PCB isn't flush next to one of the screw hole cutouts.
