It is an excellent quality / comfort / price ratio, for use mainly in office automation. Its basic characteristics are less suitable for games and anything that requires a lot of precision (image editing …) than the G500 which remains our favorite.

As an alternative
A cheap alternative to the Pulsefire Surge, this Pulsefire Core with limited ambitions on paper is doing relatively well in practice. Very manoeuvrable because of its lightness and excellent glide, not tiring to use for long hours, it nevertheless sins on a few details: a lack of grip, an acceleration of the movements of the sensor that cannot be deactivated, a symmetrical design but a design not -ambidextrous and software that deserves a little more care and richness. Sold for around forty euros, it will have difficulty finding a place in a popular segment where the Logitech G403 Prodigy or Corsair Saber Optique reign supreme, alongside of course the essential G502 Proteus Spectrum from Logitech.
