I think it's safe to say that a lot of people, be it casual gamers or hardcore competitors, anticipated a new successor to the Logitech MX500 series—even if it wasn't Logitech who released it. Thankfully, Nixeus delivered, and they've made an absolutely great mouse. This shape is very unique, and people who struggle to find a replacement for their trusty old MX518 or G400, for instance, finally have an option in the REVEL Fit if its other specs aside from its shape suit them, of course.

As for the coating, it's phenomenal on the REVEL Fit; this rubberized finish is so grippy that I wish all my mice would feature something like it. The only downside of this rubberization is that it usually doesn't last forever. I very much hope the one on the Fit doesn't start to peel off after a year or two because even some high-end, very pricey mice tend to have the issue.

Sensor-wise, there is nothing much to say aside from the sensor being fantastic. The PixArt PMW3360 is a top-of-the-line sensor that features very raw and perfectly accurate tracking with high acceleration and maximum speed values. The firmware is quite well-written for the Fit too, but there are some minor quirks. The CPI divergence is a tad high, and the 125 Hz polling rate seems to be off—it tends to periodically drop down for some reason, which I didn't mention as a negative in my list because the other three, faster values are perfectly fine.

Moving on to the buttons, I think it's safe to call them good, but they are very loud for some reason. The main buttons feel nice and tactile (my copy has a scratchy left button, but I didn't see anyone mention this before, so I guess it is just a QC hiccup). The scroll wheel is quite light, but not loose or rattly at all. The side buttons feel good. They are better than the greater average as there's only a small amount of unnecessary travel. As for the CPI button, it can be a tad hard to reach with big, bulkier hands, especially if you are palm gripping.

The mouse feet on the REVEL Fit are alright; they are nice and smooth and have a medium amount of friction. They don't follow the same design as the previous MX500-series mice, so replacement feet might be hard to get for a while. Thankfully, there is a set of spare skates in the box. The cable is alright; it's fairly light and its surface doesn't generate a lot of drag on the mouse pad, but it's a bit stiff. It's only 1.5 m long, which is curious, but will probably be enough for most people.

The driver software of the REVEL Fit is basically the one written for the standard REVEL, but the Fit works with it too. I think they should update the design a little bit by at least adding the Fit's image in the middle of the window when it's plugged in. The software is usable; I encountered no bugs whatsoever, and it's very lightweight, which is great. RGB lighting is modestly present on the REVEL Fit—the rear Nixeus logo and a stripe above the back of the bottom plate light up according to the set CPI value. These colors can be modified too, but only static lighting and a breathing effect are available, so if you want some serious eye-candy, the REVEL Fit might not be your best choice—I don't think this should be a determining factor when choosing a mouse, though.

I think Nixeus nailed it with the REVEL Fit. It's an absolutely great mouse with only a few things to nitpick, and none of those things should be a deal breaker if you're looking for a mouse. The price is pretty good, too. At $49.99, it's a fair deal compared to the competition. I would gladly and wholeheartedly recommend this mouse to anyone who finds its shape and other specifications appealing. In my opinion, it would be best for palm grippers who have medium to large hands, but it's all up to personal preference.
