Introduction

skip to "whats in the box" if u want the actual review :p

Hi, I'm Monarch, and I got into peripherals earlier this year and into aim training pretty much just yesterday.

My hand size is around 18 x 8cm (middle finger to first wrist crease x width of the underside of knuckles, excluding thumb), and I have a relaxed claw grip (at least as far as I can tell). Occasionally, I use other grip styles, such as palm and fingertip; however, I don't use them enough in-game to consider them grip styles I use.

I've been playing FPS games for about 4-5 years, mostly with a Razer Basilisk V3 (wired). Throughout those years, the only competitive shooter I have played was Valorant, which I only played during 2021, and I managed to achieve a rank of Platinum 2 (although it was much easier to rank up back then, so I don't think it's as big of an achievement as it would be now). Since then, I have mainly played Roblox shooters, and more recently, Minecraft PvP.

I've been interested in peripherals, specifically mice and keyboards, for about 6 months. I'm not a super competitive player, nor am I extremely versed in the technicality of peripherals, which is why I believe that I might be able to provide a more accurate review of what a typical user would experience. That's not to suggest that you should trust my word entirely. It's always better to compare multiple reviews in order to see whether or not the product they are reviewing would actually fit you.

Before you judge the rest of this review purely on what I play, I'd like to say I have relatively decent aim. Of course, that idea is based on who I've played against, and the average skill level in Roblox shooters is obviously quite a bit lower than the average skill level in games like Valorant, CS2, Overwatch, etc., so take that with a grain of salt. However, I do play against pretty skilled players. In my defense, I currently play on a MacBook, so I wouldn't be able to expand into those games even if I wanted to.

Here's my peripheral history, which may help you understand my perspective a little better:

• ~2021 – 2022 — MSI Laptop (unsure which; it had integrated graphics), Razer Basilisk V3, some random cheap cloth pad
