*Reference images for size comparisons*After hours and hours of research, videos, and reviews on gaming mice I settled on this Aria XD7 by Fantech. I enjoy using this mouse for my hybrid fingertip & relaxed claw grip style. You can palm grip this mouse pretty well if you have smaller hands. A straight fingertip style is good but its best suited for a claw grip style. Most importantly this mouse fits great for my lower end medium male hands. I do not have those quarterback or basketball star hands; my life is over :(I have been using this mouse wirelessly for a month straight, just about every day for 3+ hours.Overall, the battery life is very good. I charge a little over once a week, 7-9 days.The switches are great, very responsive, and great for my slow set for double clicking for guaranteed double clicks.The mouse wheel feels just right. It's not smooth rolling and gives you solid control.The polling rate is at 1000hz, it has a very good sensor; a pixart 3395 if memory serves me right.The software is good. It is exactly what I would expect for a performance gaming mouse. I do enjoy the customization with the DPI settings. I am a fan of the simplistic RGB lighting too. I am also a fan of the fact that the RGB can be customized beyond just a few colors, you can set pulsating or breathing responses at any duration you may choose. You can even set macro key sets with this software, not really important for me, but I am sure someone out there will appreciate the detail to give a user more options in the competitive atmosphere.I have had zero connectivity issues wirelessly. Thee has been no drop connections, not one. The Bluetooth tech is not there IMO. It lags and takes time connect. Setting up the Bluetooth was easy to do but it took more time than I would have expected it would take.The only issue outside of poor Bluetooth Tech (not the mouse's fault) was in finding the software program on the Fantech site. If memory serves me right, it wasn't a simple task. I had to do some hunting, or a few changes in the URL address words from another mouse software download location. Once I got it downloaded it has worked great.I do like the magnetic cover changes that come with this mouse. Two different styles for the palm area.The feel of the mouse clicks are very good. Kailh 8.0 switches hold up great with above average response times.Build quality is pretty spot on here. I have had no noticeable issues. It has a light feel to it that gives the perception that it's brittle but it's not. Now hell I could throw this like a baseball at the wall and I will destroy it but with normal usage it holds together very well.Lastly this mouse is a great value for what you will receive. Is it the best "top" tier competitive gaming mouse? No. Is it great for standing your own in fps, casual gaming, and some lite mmos? Hell yes.Overall, a great buy. I have even humored the thought of purchasing another one.
