The assembly is excellent. During use, the removable part of the body fits snugly against the mouse and does not play.

Next to the optical sensor on the bottom there is a mode switch: 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, and in the third position, the toggle switch turns off the device.
If the computer is behind a large screen or there are a lot of other wireless devices in the room, then there may be problems, such as shortening the range and increased response time. In this case, it is better to use a USB extension cable for the transmitter. However, the wire necessary for this is not included in the kit and will have to be purchased separately.
This manipulator supports the program. ROG Armory II for Windows, where you can configure many different options. For example, program buttons or change sensor settings.
Here you can save several profiles with different parameters and switch between them on the go with a combination of buttons – side and middle (by default changing the resolution of the sensor).
