    Heya! Actually the Nordic 33 MCU we use in it is the newest one, it's a few years newer than the Nordic 40 series (confusing right? haha!). I'll have our team look into the 4K situation as we've never had any issue with 4K on the mouse, and haven't had others report any. It's a curious situation for sure! Thanks for the review Boardzy!

    Funny thing is southeast asia might have the most competetive pricing for mice since "chinese" mice are easily accessible and cheaper compared to pricing in other countries. The 2nd hand mice market in my country is also really good.

    The 1K version and the 4K version is being sold for WAY cheaper in the Indonesian market (Fantech's home market). Equivalent to about 38 USD for the 1K and 63 USD for the 4K

    it uses nRF52833, while most mice use nRF52840, the only difference i've found is that the ...33 version has less memory and ram and thats most likely used so save macros so you cant really say its worse in any way,

    Can we soon have a more categorical Seal of Approval? Like idk, an example of a category is budget mice. They have indeed gotten better nowadays so, I guess it deserves somewhat of its own category. Lets have a dishonorable reward too, maybe to actually get these companies aware. Just like how Razer literally just owned it last year and just fell off with weird and pointless products this year.

      In my opinion, it has everything it takes to compete with Lamzu, Pulsar, Ninjutso, etc, except my copy has some creaking issues. If they can sort that out, I believe it's a top mouse, and an instant recommend for anyone wanting a lightweight S2.

    One thing I hate about side buttons on mini and ambi mice is that they're just way too small! Whenever I move my finger to press them, they would feel so so so mushy because the meat of my thumb is just resisting any effort to push in. I have soft hands in general so I guess this issue is just me.
