Performance Result
Armaggeddon 814 Optical software optimized gaming sensor on RAVEN III is working decent as expected. Surfaces including slightly shinny and reflective ones are a-okay to it. And I love the optical sensor that is located at center of the mouse. That’s good as no new learning curve here. Ergonomic is perfectly well and fits for small to middle size hand. Buttons are responsive and feedback is good too thanks to durable Huano switches. Great to have LED light on scroll wheel. You can easily know which CPI you at now. Scrolling is decent too – not too tight or loose. Good for both gaming and surfing.
