The mouse is the 2nd Razer that passes through my hands and the 6th gaming mouse I have tried after various PC friends and relatives that I have had the chance to build. In general, as a company, I was starting to trust it, on a personal level, recently (last 1.5 - 2 years) as I work every day for 8+ hours with the Razer Kraken, which has shown reliability and quality despite the "biting" prices of its products.
The mouse is exactly what I expected. Plastic that doesn't slip even with sweaty hands, (yes if you are a student and work 2 hours before the deadline or you are in the provisional for diamond III, you will sweat a little haha). Ideal weight and size for a large palm: for me, from the wrist to the middle finger, it's 19.5-20cm. It has the right space to grip it and the thumb can hold it without accidentally pressing the side buttons, which is important especially in games. The little finger is the only one left out (see photo) but let's face it, which gaming mouse doesn't leave it out?
I use it for 6-8 hours of web browsing, programming, lectures, meetings, etc., and another 2-3 games (from Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, Metro Exodus to LoL, CS:GO, and PUBG with friends). It hasn't tired me in the 5 days that I've been using it, and that's definitely a positive thing because it sits comfortably in the hand and becomes one with the mouse. It's worth the 5 stars considering its price.
Personally, I haven't found a use for the 16,000 DPI yet as they seem excessive to me (especially after 6,000). Usually, during work hours, I use 1000 DPI and in games, I might go a little higher, but someone else will definitely find a reason to use them in games like Fortnite maybe. However, what has been extremely helpful for me are the shortcuts (Hyprshift) that it provides along with the software called Synapse. It took me 20-25 minutes to understand their logic and set them all up as I wanted, but the result is perfect. You can open Viber, Skroutz, email, and Microsoft Teams with just 4 combinations using your mouse. It definitely saves time for those who spend many hours in front of a keyboard.
The RGB LEDs are what make the difference at night (see photo). They respond quickly to changes and through the physical "profile" button, at the bottom of the mouse (see photo), you can switch between 4 different profiles that you can also create through Synapse. Even during the day, even with a lot of sunlight, they shine much brighter than a 40 euro keyboard that I have (yes, they are that powerful).
We are definitely talking about a very promising mouse with the corresponding price, of course. Razer proves its quality once again, even to the most demanding users like myself, as hard as I tried to find negatives, it was impossible!
I will come back to complete and finalize the evaluation after one year of use.

EDIT (1.5 years of use): I am deducting 2 stars because the scroll wheel stopped working. Very strange, as in the last 1.5 months, I had moved and didn't use it at all. It's unacceptable for a gaming mouse to stop working so early. Here you see HyperX mice lasting for 5 years... such a shame. I returned it and with the warranty, I got the Corsair Sabre Pro Champion RGB for the exact same price, which I will evaluate very soon.
