“Prime mini is a banger at that price. Shape is great. Clicks are on the stiffer side, but not too bad. 3335 sensor, has a higher than usual liftoff distance that cannot be adjusted in software. I already have one, but if I saw one at that price I'd get it for sure”

“Prime isn't " fine " by any means. It has terrible weight balance, 3335 sensor is considered outdated, battery efficiency is ass even with a 500mah battery and its 78G. For the same price nowdays you can get MAD R or ATK mice.”
