Comfortable; Simple setup; Works in all genres; Nothing extraneous

Jarring illumination; No customization options

Very light; for competitive e-sports play; Braided cord; Four pre-configured dpi settings; Pixart 3310 optical sensor

No-fuss plug-and-play setup; Four sensitivity presets

No customization options or software; Relatively low dpi ceiling; Right-handed use only
