None that I found
Talking about the new thumb paddle and dorsal fin-switch I used them quite often during my testing. Again they take some time to get used to, but they are quite effective. In Battlefield 4 the thumb paddle made driving vehicles, mostly aircraft much easie...

I didn't have any issues with the Roccat Tyon's performance. Over the course of three weeks, the Tyon was my daily driver, and it was used on a variety of surfaces (hard desk, soft/cloth mouse pads as well as hard/textured pads). I didn't experience any t...
