  • Hot-swappable batteries on the Pro and Elite
  • Clear boom mics and multi-device base stations
  • Comfortable ski-goggle headband

Weak at

Good at

  • Apex Pro adjustable switches with rapid trigger
  • Light Aerox and Prime mice
  • GG software fairly clean

Weak at

  • Premium pricing
  • Mouse range narrower than Logitech or Razer
