A cool design and good functionality.
I just got this earlier today and so far it seems like a really nice mouse. The scroll wheel is nice and dense and the button clicks feel really nice. I really appreciate the charging station or how it has a Type C plug in both the station and the mouse so you can charge without the station if need be. It connected to my MacBook just fine and I’m sure it’ll connect to my PC just as easy. It’s a really cool licensed mouse for the price. The only thing I’d suggest for them is if they can make a Gameboy Color line of this product in Atomic Purple I’d immediately buy the whole set!

Looks great, feels great, nice dock
As a light gaming + general use mouse with an aesthetic that looks awesome on my desk, it is 5 stars. It feels good in the hand, buttons have a satisfying click, and the sensor is precise and picks up tiny movements perfectly. The dock is also heavy and docking the mouse is an elevated experience. I like it a bit more than the Logitech G305 on my other computer (also a great mouse).

If you play videogames or browse the internet, do not buy this mouse.
Terrible terrible left and right clicks. The rest of the mouse is just fine. The right side duo buttons are difficult to press with your ring and little fingers. The scroll wheel is just fine.But I cannot recommend or even keep my mouse because of how bad the LMB/RMB switches are. They don’t activate with the button’s click and often don’t or double click. I requested a replacement and had the same issue again. After returning them both, I can comfortably say the keyboard is passably better but I would avoid the mouse unless you’re using it for decoration. Which, you may get away with buying secondhand in a few weeks when people past their warranty have given theirs up.

Pretty good
The mouse works wonderfully but the skates on it should be replaced asap. Also the software only works 1/10 of the time. Using the mouse otherwise is great

Critical component of my setup.
This is one of my favorite mice yet. The dock that it rests on is hefty enough that it doesn’t slide around my desk (and it has a rubber pad under it).The available options are insane. I can hook this thing up via USB-C and use it as a wired mouse, I can leave the dongle in the stand and have the stand hooked to the PC, I can plug the dongle up directly to the computer, or I can use it via bluetooth!The dongle either plugs into the stand, or you can put it in the recess in the bottom of the mouse. It holds in place with a magnet.The mouse feels good in my hands, it’s high DPI (which is configurable with the 8bit do app).Just be sure that you take the plastic off the pads on the bottom of the mouse! (I am not a smart man.)I use this for both work and play.Performance wise it’s about the same an any other gaming mouse I have used.The buttons are very clicky, they make a satisfying sound without being annoying.My only gripe is that the side buttons (on the left side) are very easy to hit, so I just disabled them in the app.If you get this, DEFINITELY get the matching keyboard and/or controller.WELL DONE 8BitDo!

It’s alright… Could’ve been better.
Doesn’t do the matching keyboard justice at all. No lighting at all and crappy side buttons. Mouse is a little small, but I have pretty large hands so it might feel normal for most. The wireless charging stand is a really nice accessory. Otherwise it’s very smooth and in my opinion the perfect weight. Not too heavy or too light. SUPER steep price for what you get, but we all know why I bought this mouse. To match the keyboard! Overall could be worse but could be so much better.

I like the charging stand
I got big hands, and this one is about the biggest one with competitive specs. It’s a mouse gamer, it works good.

The ergonomics are poor (unusually sweaty), the concave side buttons should have been proud as they don’t feel nice to press and you can accidentally click the opposing buttons. It’s also way too easy to middle click whilst scrolling and the scroll wheel rolling is very mushy. (dealbreaker) At polling rate of 4000 the mouse will jump and skip distances, its fine on 2000 and lower. The weighted dock with receiver USB-A plug and green translucent USB-C cable are a nice touch and for the money it’s a pretty good deal. But the moment I went back to Asus ROG Chakram (also has a crappy mouse wheel) or a Logitech G502X, I knew I had to return this one.
Amazon Customer –
I really want to love this mouse but it falls short of being great. I bought this in addition to the matching keyboard and they look gorgeous together. The classic Xbox theme is beautiful but the main selling point for me was the charging dock. The build quality is great but the scroll wheel is where it is lacking. It’s mushy, not a great texture. The side buttons enables both lefties and righties to use this mouse. Some people have shared they wish the buttons protruded but I feel it’s just gone. My biggest wish ( besides a better scroll wheel) is some LEDs on the dock and mouse. The light effect on the keyboard looks so good I wish the mouse had an led for each click. Overall for the price I think this is a very good mouse but it’s not great.
