It's very small, so if you have hands over 18cm long you'll have to fingertip grip it. Build quality is very good, new PTFE skates are great and software is nice. I think it's using the modified version of Pixart 3335 sensor which is positioned awkwardly low. Weighs only 68 grams, and battery lasts up to 200 hours in Bluetooth mode. In my opinion it's a great mouse to use with a laptop, but if you don't need Bluetooth there are much better options.
It is a nicely designed mouse, I like the shape and weight and weight distribution. The feet whatever it is does work greatly. But compliment pretty much ends here.
The software is okay - it contains "Moment" function which is useless to me, but can be turned off. The mouse function control is good however I can never make the light feature properly setup. Like if I turn them off, the mouse still lights up.
The battery life on this sucks a lot. I came from Logitech G experience, that my G305 runs months on AA battery and GPW runs weeks if not months between charge. Not Aerox 3 Wireless, I have to charge it about every 30 hours.
And the signal or receiver is the worst I have used. I don't think my environment is full of interference, and all of my other wireless peripherals works fine. Just this mouse, it disconnects once every a few hours.
In comparison, HyperX Pulsefire Haste is much better and in direct competition with Aerox 3. I have none above issues with Pulsefire Haste, and it is cheaper (at cost of no BT connection of course).
That being said.
If you have the money to mod a g305 enough to reduce the weight down to 70 grams, you can always just hot swap batteries - but g305 will run you (lowest I've seen regularly is 35 dollars.
35 dollars for mouse
30 dollars for AAA lithium recharger + 4 batteries
plastic end caps for AAA to fir tin AA compartemnet = 7 -10 dollars
Main body mod - 15 to 20 dollaRS
Rear attachment mod-15 to 20 dollars

When RMA'ing the mouse, they make you send proof of destructions (photos/videos of you breaking the mouse apart) or ship it back at your own cost. I've never seen a ridiculous policy like that before. I had issue with Logitech/Corsair mice in the past, they either made me ship it back or toss the mouse.
