Verdict
Best for
- high-DPI wired gaming
- adjustable weight tuning

Who should skip this
- Ultralight FPS players — even before adding the tuning weights it's heavy for flick aiming
- Wireless-required desks — this is the wired HERO model, so plan for a cable
- Minimalists — eleven programmable buttons are wasted if you only need clicks and scroll
