Testing
The 2020 worked as intended without having to install any drivers on my computer. Installing the driver software provides you with several features. The mouse has a cpi switching button behind the mousewheel, and by default without using the drivers it will change to 400cpi when Red, 800cpi when yellow, and 2400 cpi when green. These values can be changed through the software, also allowing you to assign 1600 cpi and 2000 cpi to the three steps of resolution changing provided by the cpi switch button. With the software, you can also change the polling rate for your USB port from 125Hz all the way up to 1000Hz. After testing the polling rate with monitoring software I was happy to find that the mouse does not have the inconsistent polling rates that plagued the 1010 and can reach 1000Hz with no trouble. The software also allows you to reassign all the buttons to most key combinations. Beside these features, the software is not necessary for the mouse to behave appropriately.


I tried the mouse on two surfaces, a Steelpad Qck+, and the legendary fUnc 1030. The mouse did not have a problem reading correctly on both surfaces. However, just like other laser mice such as the Razer Copperhead and the Logitech G5, it was possible to make the mouse skip when moving it very fast. It became harder to do when I increased the cpi to 2400. I noticed that it was even harder to make it skip when I tried it on a white piece of paper. The performance of the laser on the black surface of the QCK+ while using 2400 cpi was acceptable. I could still do flick shots in CSDM without having it skip when my sentivity is a 270 degree turn per 15” of movement (across the entire QCK+ surface). This could still cause problems with some gamers that flick faster than I do or have even lower sensitivities.

After using the mouse in several sessions of CSDM, I found it really easy to adjust to its shape and weight. I decided to use one of the heavier weights (19g, 26g is the highest) for the most precision. I could still flick the mouse easily with this heavy weight as the mouse is easy to grip, but I also did not feel any movement restrictions while moving my wrist due to its wideness. The heavy weight allowed for a lot of precision for long range shots, but the shape also allowed for quick movements for short range aiming.
