"the button layout lets me choose where i want things to be. ... having the choice to put something where you want it to be vs where you have a button to program is so much nicer. ... Best button layout on a mouse by far"
"The Aerox 5 has a button like that. ... replace the side buttons with paddles that go up and down. Same form factor, same position, double the inputs."
"The side up and down rocker button is quite intuitive for Mac I find when configured with Mac mouse fix, especially for Mission Control and spaces."

"What I also didn't expect is how smooth the Bluetooth connection is. ... But one day I decided to use it on my work laptop via Bluetooth and it was incredibly smooth! ... Lo and behold this random gaming mouse has the best Bluetooth connection I've ever experienced. ... I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between bluetooth/2.4ghz/wired. It's so good."
"Tracking seems more than responsive enough with Bluetooth for my purposes too, which saves need for dongle."
