UtechSmart Venus Gaming Mouse RGB Wired, 16400 DPI High Precision Laser Programmable MMO Computer Gaming Mice [IGNs Recommendation]

So I have been looking for a mmo mouse a mouse with 12 or more buttons for mmo games and other things fi years bough this mouse a year ago works fine has full band RGB for those interested thought that it would work as a wired mouse while charging and find not the case, but not a real issue to be honest. only wireless mmo mouse with reasonable dongle unlike the razors charging stand dongle making in m=not portable in the least only real annoying thing in my experience is when turning off the rgb when you turn it back on its a 50/50you rgb setting s wil be reset and you will have to reset your color and th display preference for the color.

Mouse is absolutely amazing for the price, easily beats out R.A.T. brand mice or other over priced abominations. People here say the buttons are hard to press, that is far from true. They give you just barely enough resistance to confirm with your finger that it was press, easy to use. Has rapid fire button, which can be easily configured to do anything else. You can make macros on the software you get with your package, so you have absolute freedom to control your world with this mouse. The card itself is actually a USB drive, so you can have a fancy little software with you for any computer. Lighting is fantastic, although I wish it supported hex coding. You have multiple lighting modes and colors to choose from, so dont worry about that whatsoever. Goes well with any set. Battery life is as describes, long and heavy use for three days straight (more if you happen to have a life or sleep like some kind of healthy human.) Some people here complain it dies too quickly, they most likely forget to charge it. This is not civilian battery operated mouse, so it will not last weeks with power, it already tells you this. You can use the mouse either with or without a wire, although most likely you dont want to be wired so make sure you charge it when not in use, otherwise that is your fault and not the products. DPI is customizable! Rarely any mice let you control this amazing feature, and the mouse lets you have multiple profiles (modes of saved settings.) Being able to control your DPI directly means you can achieve the perfect mouse speed for yourself, make it easy to snipe that Heavy across the map giving sandwiches to a Spy before he can come out and backstab you in 2Fort for the seventh time. (Team Fortress 2 on Steam, the game is also free) The mouse is very comfortable to grip, leaves my hand feeling well rested even in heavy use. The design is to prevent slip, something that means it gets an odd texture on top to prevent your fingers from slipping off if you swear or so on. On top of this, the mouse is also nicely designed to have enough of its own weight to prevent slipping on the mousepad The accuracy of the scanner is competitive level t technology, the only person that can use great tech for good is you. Destroy the battlefield at the same rate and pace as the best gamers in the world. (Skill not included, please play good with mouse to use it for the absolute best of its ability.) If my review did not cover everything you need to know about this mouse then Im sorry but you probably cant read. Just kidding, I will provide any answers needed for this product, this is a mouse I stand firmly with. Do not spend money in anything else, it will be a disappointment, even if you dont want to use this for MMO.

Edited, Jan. 8, 2021: I wanted to write this revised review sooner but of course, Amazon has to approve all reviews and then I forgot until now. Anyways, Ive dropped the review down to three stars because this mouse is just average. You cant hold down the button next to the LMB and press another button on the side, i.e. binding top button to Ctrl and pressing a side button to double the amount of button presses. As previously mentioned, you cannot remap the DPI buttons whatsoever. The wired mouses software is much more in-depth and lets you do all of these things, from what Ive researched. After using this mouse for several weeks, the side buttons are no longer consistent in feel and sound. Some buttons are still tactile, while others are almost silent and mushy. The right click feels much softer than the left click, to the point where I almost dont realize Ive pushed it. The only saving grace for this mouse at this point is the fact that its wireless. I wont be returning the mouse as its not worth the hassle, but Im definitely going to just stick with a Logitech G600. For the price of the wire, I can enjoy double the button presses with everything being customizable. And its cheaper a majority of the time. The pouch it includes is nice, and Ill definitely use that. The mouse is not a bad mouse, its just not exactly what I need for my playstyle. Like I said, its just average. I knew getting into this that I couldnt remap the DPI buttons, but when I found out about the lack of multi-button support and the wired mouses counterpart having much more in-depth software...I was very disappointed. I really feel like the issues Ive come across are software related, but I dont foresee a software update coming anytime soon for these mice. *****Original Review Below***** Please UtechSmart, let us remap the two buttons under the scroll wheel! I personally never change my DPI once I set it via software, but having the option to use the buttons for something more functional would be nice! Pleeeeease. I know there are several other reviews mentioning this. Those two perfectly good buttons are unused otherwise. Created macros also do not show up in the macro list when attempting to assign them to a key. Because of these two easily fixable software issues that have STILL not been updated, Ive docked a star. As for the actual mouse, its great! First impressions, I was definitely pleased to see a carrying pouch and a detachable braided USB-C cable. I bought this mouse as a substitute for my G600 while I travel, as there is no wireless version of the G600 yet. The driver software is included via a very snazzy looking business card that flips out into a baby USB drive. It does the win+r command and types in a command to open a Dropbox with the software files. The buttons themselves are alright, theyll definitely do the job. The scroll wheel is good, though I wish it tilted like my G600 too. But as thats a hardware thing, I can accept that tradeoff for wireless connectivity. Clicks are not offensively loud like some mice, which Im definitely grateful for as Ill be using this while traveling. However, the side buttons are a bit audible, much louder than the G600, but still not terrible. (If you have a Nintendo Switch, the side buttons sound similar to pressing the face buttons on the joycons.) The finish on the mouse is...different than Im used to. But its not bad, just a bit textured. Its not smooth like a G600 or a Naga, but more like a soft sandpaper, if you will. The entire mouse feels like that except for the shiny section in the middle where your palm rests, and the side buttons. Theres a spot under the mouse to store the tiny USB dongle, and its magnetic rather than snapping in. A very nice touch as I have short fingernails and trying to pry something like that out would be a nightmare. I also enjoy the resting spot for your ring finger, and although its not a button like my G600, its still second nature for me to have a finger there. The third clicking button I use on my G600 was just moved to the left of the left mouse button, which I am perfectly fine with. Its not a bad placement and I can easily reach it plus all twelve of the side buttons, effectively doubling the button inputs. Getting onto the software, its...usable. When I first installed it, I could not for the life of me get the colors on the mouse to change. And as I was searching for the solution, suddenly about 15 or so minutes later, the lights just started cooperating. Very odd. It works flawlessly now so I have no complaints, just confusion. The software lets you choose what buttons you want to use, but you have to choose the option Key Combination and just press the key without any modifiers in order to do so. Just in case anyone has any confusion like I did at first. The lighting is all one color, no per-key RGB here. Which is fine, my G600 is the same. I do enjoy the amount of lights though! The scroll wheel illumination is very nice, and the logo illumination is bright. However, the lights on the front of the mouse seem to be different colors between the three grills on either side, which isnt a big deal to me personally. Mapping keys (once I figured it out) was quick, changing the DPI setting via software and disabling the other DPI profiles (hence, making those buttons useless) was painless. Im grateful the software allows macros, but I couldnt get them to show up in the macro list when I tried to assign them to a key, which, like the DPI buttons, makes them useless. TL;DR Pros: The mouse comes with a nice pouch and braided USB-C cable. Feels good to use, a decent wireless substitute to the G600. Mapping keys was quick and painless. Lights are bright and seem to be fairly accurate. (Note: You cannot change the four lights next to the DPI buttons, so I turn mine off.) Mouse weighs similar to a G600. Cons: THE SOFTWARE. Seriously. Please, let me remap the DPI buttons just like the side buttons (which the wired version allows) and let me have the ability to use my macros. If I knew coding and could fix it myself, I absolutely would. Literally the only things wrong with this mouse are software related. I dont understand why these issues havent been fixed. If you can have a fancy business card that runs an entire string of code to download software, why cant said software be fixed?

This is exactly what I was looking for in a mouse. Good shape, good feel, wireless capabilities, long battery, and of course too many buttons! It also has amazing features like adjustable DPI and RGB lighting to make gaming more fun. As this is my first gaming mouse I have a lot to get used to. The twelve buttons on the side are easy to find with the - indent on the numbers 5 and 8, but for now I still misclick. The downloadable app is easy to figure out. All of the buttons are highly adjustable as well as the mouse color scheme. Nowhere on the box explicitly said what that button on the bottom does called Profile Switch. It basically lets you have two mouse settings, which is insane. Ive had my mouse for two days and I think its the best. There are some minor details that may deter some elitist mouse buyers. CONS: -The RGB settings are great, but trying to find a solid color is tricky. As an example, it took a couple attempts before I got purple and not magenta or pink or white washed purple. -The DPI maxes out at 16,000... Apparently higher end mouses can go higher but come on give me a break. You wont need a mouse to go higher than 8k EVER. 16k is extremely fast. -Clicking the twelve side buttons is not as ergonomic as possible. I find my hand sliding further back on the mouse just to hit the last six buttons. Otherwise my thumb has to arch a bit. This could be an oversight to anyone who has used a gaming mouse for years. -This mouse is not silent, every button makes a click sound. I own a silent mouse and so it was one of the first things I noticed. The main right and left click buttons are normal as well as the fire button and DPIs. The twelve on the side are admissible as they are muffled. PROS: -Great feel and texture. My hand is always comfortable when using the mouse and no button is out of reach. The wheel has a rubber grip and the rest are smooth plastic. -Setting up the buttons and macros was very easy to do, hardly took any time at all. The macro options allow one button press to act as hundreds, if thats your thing. Infinite possibilities. -Being wireless is actually an option. The box comes with a wire which allows for charging and/or wired play. -One mouse becomes two mice with that Profile Switch button on the bottom. Maybe your friend wants to use it and your macros confuse them? Maybe you need different macros for different games? You have options. I think the mouse is fantastic. If youre looking for a mouse with good quality and function, this is it.

Edit: 8 months later, I still love this mouse! The UtechSmart VENUS Pro wins my award for the Best Ergonomic Wireless Productivity Mouse of 2020. I am a mouse enthusiast, and this is my 9th and favorite mouse. PROs: 1. With 16 buttons, I have been able to program keyboard shortcuts to operate from my mouse, and I love it. My coworkers are jealous of my ability to mute and unmute our conference calls with a dedicated mouse button. 2. The ability to switch between wireless and corded is really cool. 3. The lights are cool. 4. Ergonomics are great. The ergonomics of this mouse are so good I almost forgot to mention it, because it feels so good I quit thinking about it. I have rejected other ergonomic mice because they werent big enough, but this mouse fills up my hand allowing me to hold a nice round shape and reach the buttons comfortably. Most ergonomic mice are too small or flat such that I have to distort or shrink my hand to grip them. Of the 12 side buttons, there are two buttons that I cant reach easily. I suppose I can reach them, but I have to adjust my grip enough that I usually dont bother. If you dont use those 2 buttons, you will still have a 14 button wireless ergonomic mouse, which is better than Ive been able to find anywhere else on the Internet. CONs: 1. The software to program this mouse is only available for Windows. No Mac Software. If you are rich enough to own a Mac, then you probably have an old windows laptop under your bed or in your closet. You can program your mouse on the windows computer and then use your newly programmed mouse, including shortcuts, on your mac. NOTE: The free mac software called Karabiner can act as a substitute for the missing mac software. After youve set it up with Karabiner, you can also use the mouse with the productivity software Better Touch Tool and Alfred. Karabiner and Better Touch Tool can make any mouse programmable. 2. This mouse does not work well on my dark, grey desk. Often it will not track motion smoothly on dark surfaces, as though the laser or light underneath is not strong enough to reflect off of a dark surface. The problem doesnt happen every day, but it happens often enough that I cant use it normally on my black desk. Since its not all the time, Ive tried to figure out what the trigger is for this problem kicking in. Ive decided its either when the battery is low, or else there is some kind of calibration where the mouse thinks its in a dark room and loses focus on my desk. If I use a colored mouse pad, or even a piece of paper under the mouse, it tracks motion great. I contacted the seller, and they were very quick to reply. They offered to send me a free mouse pad. I dont think that mousepad ever arrived, but it wasnt a big deal because I made my own mousepad. 3. The rechargeable battery life feels a little short to me. My other wireless mouse uses AA batteries, and they last at least a month. This mouse lasts about a week if I leave the lights off, or two days if I leave the lights on. Recharging this mouse is easy using the included USB cable, and I can keep using the mouse while its plugged in. Since this mouse can be used as a wired USB mouse, having the fancy lights on makes more sense when its plugged in. Less Important: I dont actually use this mouse for gaming, I use it to program productivity shortcuts (forward and backward in the browser, move between browser tabs, close windows, copy, paste, Ctrl, Command, Shift, Fn, zoom in and out). The scroll wheel on this mouse is the same as most gaming mice I have used: it scrolls with a bump or jump between lines. I actually would prefer a smooth scroll so that my page doesnt jump as I read. The only gaming mouse Ive used that does this is the wired Logitech G502, which could switch between bumpy and smooth scrolling. CONCLUSION: The battery life and lack of windows software have not been a major problem, but I am disappointed that it doesnt track well on a dark grey surface. I have fixed this by using a mousepad, but its the only thing keeping this from being my perfect productivity mouse. Ive spent years testing programmable mice for increased productivity. This is the only one Ive found that meets my 3 most important criteria: 1. Truly ergonomic 2. Wireless 3. More than 11 buttons. If you are ok with fewer buttons, or you arent as picky about ergonomics, then there a lot of other wireless mouse out there that will track on a black desk. You might enjoy the Logitech G602. But for me, the UtechSmart VENUS Pro wins my award for the Best Ergonomic Wireless Productivity Mouse of 2020.

Ive had THREE Razer products fail me within about a year of purchase, so I vowed to never buy another Razer product again. When it came time to buy a new mmo mouse, I knew I wanted it to be wireless as I was sick and tired of my braided mouse cables getting caught on everything. Also because I had heard that wireless tech has gotten much better over time and, for the most part, you no longer have to worry about new wireless mice being laggy or losing connectivity like back in the day. The difference between wired and wireless mice, at least to me, has become indistinguishable. Unfortunately, love or hate Razer, they were the only kids on the block with a wireless mmo mouse for a VERY long time. NO ONE else was doing it. NO ONE. But I was not about to pay close to $200 for shoddy, overpriced Razer junk. Instead, I waited patiently for some other company to come along and challenge Razer. Years went by. Decades. Millennia. Finally, UtechSmart came to my rescue. Ive been using this mouse for about 4 months now and am honestly very surprised at how much I enjoy it. Chinese brands have really been upping their game lately, at least from my experience. This mouse has a lot going for it. On the bottom theres a switch for On (Without Lighting), Off, and a second On option (With Lighting). When you stop using it for a bit, the lighting turns off and it goes to sleep to conserve battery, so you dont have to worry if you forget to turn it off. When the mouse detects movement, the lighting turns back on. If you dont use it too often, you can leave it there for days upon days (maybe even weeks) without having to charge it again. To charge it, just plug any ol USB-C cable to the front and youre set. The lighting turns white and flashes, or breathes, on and off to show that its connected and charging, which could be annoying if youre trying to sleep. The software appears basic, but it does everything I need it to, without any fluff. You dont need to create an account or any of that nonsense. You can change lighting color, effect, brightness, DPI (there are 5 speed settings), record macros and map all buttons (including the left and mouse clickers) to something else, with the exception of the two DPI adjustment buttons, which is unfortunate, but no huge loss for me, personally. In terms of size, weight and feel, Id say its definitely a wider mouse than most. Its lighter than youd expect, though. If you own a Logitech G600, its a bit wider in comparison. It also seems to be ever-so-slightly lighter, though that may just be because its larger so the weight is more spread out. Beneath the bottom row of the 12 side buttons, it flares out so you can rest your thumb; a feature I didnt think I needed, but that I actually find myself using more and more. The texture of the mouse is rough, as opposed the usual smooth, like most mice. Whether thats a good or a bad thing it up to you. It does seem to help with making all those greasy, oily, cheeto-dust stains not so obvious. Finally, one of my biggest gripes with a lot of mice is how hard it is to actuate the middle mouse button. On this one, it feels easier (and sounds softer) to press than a lot of other mice Ive tried. I do wish it were even easier, though. All in all, Im very happy that UtechSmart made this mouse and HIGHLY recommend it, especially since it looks like, at the time of writing this review, its the only wireless 12-button mouse on Amazon. I hope they consider making a newer edition with even MORE buttons. Maybe a 3rd clicker next to the right clicker, similar to the Logitech G600, and an additional button next to the left clicker. You can never have enough buttons! MORE BUTTONS!!!

I love this mouse and when I saw they offered a wireless version of their wired MMO mouse that I had been using for years, I jumped at it, thinking it would be a clone of the wired version but wireless. BUT, I was wrong. Physically it is a clone(minus the weighting) and feels great in the hand. The give you a second set of sliders and a pouch, which is a nice touch. The mouse has a nice compartment to keep the little wireless dongle handy too. Where they dropped the ball is on the software. I have no idea why they though it was a good idea to... A. Lose the ability to reprogram the DPI buttons. Now this is only has 16 keys programmable instead of 18 like the wired version. B. Lose the ability to program the buttons with keys not on the keyboard, such as MOUSE4 or MOUSE5 and other similar keys. This is possible on the wired version(and just about ANY other mouse I have ever used). C. You are now restricted to switching, ONLY with the button on the bottom of the mouse(there is no longer way to assign profile switching to a button due to the issue listed under B above) between only TWO profiles instead of FIVE like on the wired version. These are some critical options what I used in the past on the wired version and are making me think about returning it. I have no idea why they couldnt have duplicated the SAME functionality between the wired and wireless software. Im hoping they update the software soon to enable these missing functions, but Im not holding my breath. Pros Solid construction Feels great in the hand light Cons SOFTWARE Id love to give this 5 stars but because they dropped the ball on the progammability of the thing, which is a main part of the mouse, I can only give it 3 stars till the software is brought up to the level of the wire version. **EDIT** 5/4/2020 - Please stop emailing me offers of gift cards to delete my review. My review is an honest review, which is supposed to be what is posted here. If you want my review to be better, update the software with better functionality. The software hasnt been updated in over a YEAR and is still the original version released. **EDIT** 11/5/2020 - So here we are almost to 2021, and NOT ONE single update to the drivers/software for this mouse, despite the promises earlier this year(when they kept bugging me to delete my review) that things were being worked on. The drivers listed are still the same 3.0 drivers from MARCH 2019.

alright, ive had this thing since august and have used it constantly since then so i can safely say this is an extremely good mouse for the price with the only caveat being the program that you use to manipulate the mouse functions is lacking in a few smaller, but still important, areas. the mouse itself is sturdy as a rock but nowhere near as heavy with the only physical issue being the area where you are meant to place the weights specifically that there are two rather large openings where you could lose one of the weights in (as i almost did). the buttons make a noticeable click when pressed but do not provide too much resistance but at the same time provide enough resistance that theyre not accidentally pressed. they also seem to have an incredibly long life as i have pressed them all in excess. the scroll wheel itself is, unlike my previous mouse, still functioning appropriately without any noticeable degradation either but has very little resistance to it so clicking middle mouse sometimes scrolls up or down one. the shape of the mouse is satisfying to hold and left/right/middle mouse clicks are responsive and clicky. i imagine i am going to have this mouse for a long time, barring someone intentionally taking a large hammer to it. now for the software. the program used to run the mouse (it doesnt have a proper name just Gaming Mouse Config or GMC i guess) is a solid barebones bit of work which could use more polish overall as well as options in the macro manager section. specifically, the only real detrimental piece is that all macros (and i assume any other mouse button presses) have a minimum delay of 1 milisecond between each character the mouse would generate. this is incredibly detrimental in games where you may need to type a command into a games chat bar to illicit an action but at the same time need to press other keys. the time it takes is short but still long enough to cause the macro to screw up because of receiving extra input during the typing phase and in the same action screw up whatever it is you may try to be doing at the same time. if this gets fixed, macros immediately become something that can be used at any time. the other thing that would be nice to see in the macro manager is more options for macros. an option to set the loop option to loops macro while button is held would be nice, as well as an option to insert delays into the macro itself (so to make the macro press a button, then another a set specific time afterwards), other potential options would be to allow macros to remove either the press or release part of a keypress instead of removing both, and giving macros access to more computer based functions including mouse positioning and movement and mouse buttons 4 and up. another thing that would be nice to be able to do would be to be able to change the scroll wheels color. it seems like it would be able to do so since it can hit multiple other colors as is but the users have no way of changing it to their own specified colors unlike the rest of the mouse and on that note it would be nice to be able to save user generated colors to the color palette or for the less interested user, to be able to turn the lights off entirely. all in all, this is a solid mouse with a usable GMC that could really use more work. definitely worth the price but might not be suitable for users who use macros heavily. would be 5/5 but macro issues bump it down a star. so, please please please UtechSmart look into improving the GMC (and potentially for your other mice as well) as macro use with this mouse is impractical due to the forced 1ms delay between all key presses from the mouse.

I really liked the wired version of this mouse and it lasted over 3 and a half years of hard intense use before the left clicker finally started acting up and for some reasons I couldnt get macros to work anymore. So I decided to buy the wireless version. I tried to review it separately but the review button just brings me up to edit the wired versions review I wrote ages ago... So with that confusion cleared up, lets talk about this new tail-less mouse in my house! FREEDOOOOOM!!!!! After a few days of use I gotta say I LOVE IT! No more wire in the way, or always causing drag on the mouse. I can aim better in games and the freedom from wires is a big deal to me. With the leds disabled the battery drops less then 20% even after gaming like 12 hours and recharges very fast when I need to. I cant notice any lag or delay at all vs a wired mouse (all actions and movement are instant), so all those fears of a latency filled experience can be put to rest. This venus mouse is a seriously good deal at the $40 bucks I got it at, considering the naga pro is $150. Youd think you are getting some cheap plastic junk, but you would be very wrong. This is a very good mouse just like the wired version is. And like the wired version not only is it great for gaming, but for productivity I like it even more. Having the numpad is amazing for doing work and I think the name of the mouse should be renamed. It is MORE THEN JUST A MMO MOUSE! The only real negatives I can think of are- No wheel side buttons. Some folks might want even more buttons (like wheel left ight). Having the LED lights on will drain battery much faster (true for any wireless device). Macro functions are not as robust as razors synapse program. But to me the most major negative is worth of its own large title to emphasize this problem- NO YOU CAN NOT REPROGRAM THE DPI BUTTONS! Unfortunately despite it saying you can in the instructionsoxonline product information, you actually can not. And no there isnt a more recent update that fixes this as of feb 2021. I have held off for YEARS buying this mouse because I noticed reviews saying you cant reprogram them, but a dying mouse forced my hand. I had hoped they updated the software by now, sadly they havent. It isnt unique to this mouse either, the red dragon wireless mmo mouse has the exact same shortcoming. I think you CAN on the razor naga pro, but it costs 3 times as much and a number of people report serious clicking issues with it which kinda scared me off especially considering the high price. I also hate that razor synapse runs all the time and requires internet, and I also hate snakes which is the entire theme of their mice for some reason. I aint want no got dang snakes on my plane! Soo why in the world does the venus mmo mouse product information say you can reprogram the dpi buttons? Translation issues maybe? Dunno, I just know that this is not only misleading but also disappointing. And Why does this matter to me enough to drone on about it? well... I loved using those buttons as my page up and page down on the wired version of this same mouse, a real time saver for browsing pages, or working through various textadobe documents, or even scrolling up and down in video game chat boxes to see messages I missed. I will truly miss those handy buttons. I tried to find a 3rd party app that lets me do this, but I cant find any. The ones out there only let you change basic buttons like right, left, middle click. So I am stuck with useless DPI buttons... seriously who uses those for dpi changing on the fly? I never find a need for that in any game or task. I think vastly more people would use these as page up and down, seems like the PERFECT use for them *shrugs*. Its not easy to accidentally bump these 2 buttons but it will happen now n then which is a little annoying when your mouse is suddenly too sensitive and flying all over the screen. Not a deal breaker, just something to keep in mind. Overall its a good wireless mouse and is ridiculously cheap. There is not enough of these numpad wireless mouse out there, and thats a shame because I dont see why youd want anything else. Ive been using numpad mice for almost a decade now and I cant go back to regular mice now. You will likely find through the years ever more uses for them, which means its a growing convenience that ages very well. Today you buy one thinking its JUST FOR MMOs but in 5 years you will find yourself using the numpad for soo much more and wondering how you ever lived with a normal mouse. I have no doubts that wireless mice are the future, I just hope the numpad mice dont all disappear in time as mmos become a thing of the past (warcraft is sooo lame now). 4 stars. I am docking a star because of the DPI button liemiscommunication. That is really unfortunate because otherwise its such a solid product. I will gladly add that star if Utech gives us an update that actually lets us reprogram those buttons, but Id say this is unlikely given how old this model is already. Their coders are likely onto new projects. NAGA PRO- well... maybe some snakes arent bad? I do suspect that if you get a healthy naga pro that doesnt have the clicking issues people report about, it very likely would be the better wireless numpad mouse, It just costs 3 times as much and synapse wants to always be online which is annoying. If you need robust macro options or even more buttons and you can afford it, it might be your only real option, there isnt enough models of these wireless numpad mice out there so our options are quite limited.

This mouse is absolutely amazing. I dont even know where to begin. The headline speaks for itself. I have not used it for gaming, but I have used it for work. My job requires me to do repetitive tasks. This mouse is not only saving me time, but its making me money. I am able to program a single key to work a lead. The colors are bright and vivid. This is super customizable. Honestly just buy it and see for yourself. The only two cons I have is that the battery life isnt the best Ive used and it is heavy and feels weird to pick up the mouse without pushing buttons or dropping it. Other than that is amazing and would suggest everyone to own this product.
