Shape & Ergonomics
This is a bigger mouse than the GPX Superlight on paper, and I expected that size to work against it the same way it does on most oversized shapes. It doesn't. The hump isn't nearly as restrictive as I expected going in — it gives your palm more room to actually settle instead of forcing a single hand position the way a tall, centered hump usually does.
Part of that comes down to the button height being lower than I'm used to on a mouse this size. That lower profile up front changes how the whole shape reads in hand — it keeps the front end from feeling bulky even though the body behind it is genuinely large. It's a good example of how one dimension can offset another; this shouldn't work as well as it does, and it does anyway.
Coating
Top of the line. This is as good as Logitech's coating, which on this site is the highest compliment we hand out — that's been the bar every other mouse gets measured against, and Razer actually clears it here.
Sensor & Performance
The Focus Pro 50K sensor is well past what any real gameplay scenario needs — 50,000 DPI, 930 IPS, 90G of acceleration headroom — but it's reassuring to know there's no ceiling to run into. True 8,000Hz polling over HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 keeps things feeling immediate.
Battery & Connectivity
180 hours at 1,000Hz is excellent for a sub-50g wireless mouse, and even at full 8,000Hz polling you're still getting a reasonable 44 hours — that's a real trade-off you can actually choose, rather than one polling rate quietly draining the battery in a day.
Pros
- Bigger shape than the GPX Superlight without feeling more restrictive
- Lower button height helps the overall shape read smaller than it is
- Top-of-the-line coating, on par with Logitech's best
- 49g with genuinely competitive sensor and battery specs
Cons
- Still a larger mouse overall — won't suit hands that want a compact shape
- Premium price to match the premium internals
Verdict
On paper, a bigger mouse with a big hump should have been an easy pass for us given how much we favor compact shapes on this site. In hand, the lower button height and how the hump actually sits change that calculation completely. Combined with coating that finally matches Logitech's best, this earns one of the highest scores on the site.
