Questions about this item

How does the 18000 CPI sensor behave in actual gameplay?

The TrueMove Air optical sensor delivers true 1-to-1 tracking at up to 18000 CPI, so on-screen movement matches physical hand motion without acceleration or smoothing.

What does the USB interface mean for latency and power?

The wired USB connection draws power directly from the port and maintains a stable signal without the latency variance or battery management of wireless alternatives.

Will the 12.192 cm length and 85 g weight suit a claw grip?

At 12.192 cm long, 5.207 cm wide, 19.4056 cm high and 85 g, the right-handed ergonomic shell lets most claw-grip users reach all nine buttons comfortably.
