  • Conclusion: The X5 will make gamers happy with its dpi buttons and number of buttons. For a better deal, however, look for the original model.
  • Pros: Comfy; programmable buttons; fast and accurate sensor; on-the-fly dpi buttons.
  • Cons: Still the same bulky shape as the older model; really only three buttons to program; side buttons still prone to accidental clicks.
