Software not verified to work with Windows XP
Can’t store different button configurations
Scroll wheel is a little stiff at first
Ambidextrous design is not as comfortable as "right only" mice
Cant fine tune sensitivity in game
55 price tag
Should be heavier

Design not very ergonomics
Side buttons too easy to press accidentally
Price a bit steep for a wired mouse.
Software feels generic and needs to be refined
Large
Edgy side buttons
Hardware DPI switch requires the use of navigation buttons
May be a bit too lightweight for some
