  • De gaming-muizen in deze test presteren allemaal goed, maar zijn niet allemaal voor hetzelfde doel bruikbaar. Vooral door matige grip en een slechte lift-off distance is niet iedere muis geschikt voor low sense gebruik. Ook de vorm en de extra functies...

  • Trådløs. Presis og meget rask. Ekstra museføtter. Smart lader.
  • Skarp kant på høyre side.
