    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!

    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,

    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.

    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.
