Just got mine in the mail 5 minutes ago. I was hesitant to order one at all after seeing about the gyroscope integration, knowing that it had a large chance to negatively affect movement. I had read beforehand that there was no way to turn this feature off except by installing the driver and then it would only temporarily let you turn it off while that window was open.
If you switch back and forth between on and off modes for the fusion engine on this window, it's pretty easy to tell this feature does affect cursor control, and it's entirely in a negative way. It makes the cursor, for lack of a better term, feel swimmy and less accurate with it turned on while moving the cursor around for fine control movements.
They can save this mouse easily, but it will require a firmware update to let you permanently disable this useless gyroscope feature without having the driver installed and fusion engine window open.
Other pros & cons:
Pros
- Aside from this rather enormous gyroscope problem, the cursor lag is otherwise drastically reduced from A3090 and A3310 models.
- Glides a million times better than G502
- Weight is much better than G502
- Build quality is good.
Cons
- The cord is the front runner here. It's very stiff and heavy, and greatly disturbs the featherweight cursor movement of the mouse which will throw off your accuracy.
- Middle mouse button requires a high pressure to click. Feels like a Huano. A lighter Omron click would be a lot better.
- If you want to palm grip this mouse, you will not be able to. Just as I described with the G502, this is a forced claw grip mouse with a large palm grip shape. Kind of a paradox there. I prefer fingertip and claw grip over palm myself, but If you're building a claw grip mouse, it should be more of the size and shape of a Xai.
- Sensor resolution is pretty low. They would have done a lot better by reducing the lag on the A3090 instead of using this sensor, but if they can fix the gyroscope problem, it should be acceptable.
Yea...you just use the same switch as the main clicks.
I also forgot to mention, I would currently rate this mouse worse than the 3500 DPI G400 in terms of cursor control and accuracy. IF, and that's a big if, they fix the gyroscope issue and let you permanently disable it while not having the driver installed, I feel like it might be overtake the 3500 DPI G400 then. The 4000 DPI A3090 sensor in the revised G400s I considered a complete dud due to greatly increased smoothing for anyone that doesn't remember.
I saw m0e streaming CS:GO last week and he turned of the gyro because it was said to improve the cursor, but he turned it back on after 30 seconds because he litterly couldn't swipe to make a 180 degree turn. It would just stop.

While attempting to move the cursor abnormally fast for flick shots using 800 DPI 1000hz with 2560x1440 resolution in League of Legends at gold 2 rank I get :
The fusion engine is probably not accurate whatsoever. I mean I'm flicking the cursor about as fast as I can do a flick shot and putting more force behind it than a normal human would and it still only registers as that.

It's not malfunctioning with the fusion engine turned off because I get the exact same numbers with it turned on. My normal fast movements and flick shots register as 0.3 to 0.5.

Which is why I don't think the software is even close to accurate. I'm flicking the mouse with some pretty big force behind it on purpose and only get that value. Even if I shake the mouse from left to right back and forth like I'm having a seizure, it might register as 0.7 max.
I use 800 DPI though, so when I do a flick shot, I'm only moving the mouse 1-2 inches max. I'm not one of those 400 DPI people that moves their arm literally 2 feet to do a 180.

CPate says the engineers who designed the mouse specifically ensured that the tracking variance is in line with that of the 3090 in the G400 and much better than the 9800 obviously. Don't let doomsayers that say that every single mouse on the market is complete trash except for the Intellimice and 3366 mice dictate your purchasing decisions.
