Buttons, Scroll Wheel


Both main buttons are medium-light in terms of tension and very tactile. Their click-feel is great, and both are easily spammable. My right copy button has some noticeable pre travel, but the left one actuates just perfectly. They both have a negligible post travel after the click. The switches used here are manufactured by Omron, D2FC-F-7Ks that are rated for 50 million clicks.


In my opinion, the scroll wheel could be a tad wider, but I had no real issues with it. I did not encounter slips or any other discomforts while using it. The notches are rather well separated, and the scrolling is light, but tactile. The encoder is made by Alps, which are considered to be among the very best.


The middle button is a bit tighter than the main buttons, so there should be no accidental clicks while scrolling. It is not overly stiff though and can still be used comfortably, but of course, it's not very easy to spam compared to the main buttons. The switch used here is a slightly lower quality square switch, probably manufactured by Panasonic. The CPI button requires pretty much the same force to activate as the middle mouse click, and the micro switch used here is a smaller tactile switch.


And now comes the part that makes the Nemesis truly unique: the side buttons! There are a total of twelve of these with a maximum of eight and a minimum of four visible at a time. You can rotate each panel in order to choose between one or two buttons on them. The default setup comes with all eight visible. In order to change between them, you first need to slide the plastic clip at the bottom of the mouse out by as much as possible. Then, you can rotate the panels in order to reach your desired configuration. Once finished, simply push the clip back into its place—easy as that! As for describing these buttons, they are quite stiff, have a lot of tension, and are rather uneven (the rear ones feel a bit lighter and more mushy than the front ones). It is pretty hard and uncomfortable to repeatedly press them excessively, which questions the whole functionality of an MMO mouse. However, their stiffness can be understood because you would normally rest your thumb on them (you can't really put it elsewhere), so any accidental clicks should be eliminated by making them pretty heavy.

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

Cable


The Nemesis Switch cable is unfortunately very stiff and quite thick. It is 1.8 m long, and the USB connector is gold-plated. I would highly advise using it with a bungee or by securing the cable firmly to the edge of the desk or monitor, or somewhere like that, so its resistance does not cause too much discomfort. Of course, not everyone is picky when it comes to such things, but I for one definitely am.

Mouse Feet


There are three bigger mouse feet attached to the bottom of the mouse. They provide a smooth and even glide with a medium amount of friction. I had no issues with any scratching whatsoever. Even though the feet are relatively thin, the bottom of the shell did not make contact with my mouse pad.

Disassembling


The mouse can be disassembled after removing four screws in total, which are located beneath the top and bottom feet. Both side panels detach from the bottom plate once you remove the top cover, which you should do very carefully as there is a ribbon cable that connects the middle PCB with the one that is screwed into the top shell.
