Hello, and hi. I'm me. With that said, let's get right into this!
About a year ago, I upgraded from an office mouse to the G Pro Wireless. I chose the G Pro as it was one of the few quality mice that were fully functional on my computer as the software for it is compatible with it.
I wasn't impressed by it's looks, but looks aren't everything. It's a comfortable mouse to hold, and it was lighter than the mouse I used before it. The click are so light that I could click for a long time without feeling fatigued. It has a very sturdy design, and though I thought it felt a little cheap at first, I do feel like I got my moneys worth.
The clicks sound especially nice to me, and both the palm and claw grip worked just fine on it. The battery life is amazing, especially when you disable RGB, which you don't really need since your palm covers it up anyways.
Note: RBG lovers, this mouse may be underwhelming for you. All the RGB does it suck up battery life and look good when you are not actively using the mouse. Again, your palm covers up most of it. I do find the three dots signifying the DPI setting pretty useful and nice, however, but it's not necessary.
While the mouse is indeed a very high quality mouse, I wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't competitively play Minecraft as there are some great options for you for a much lower price. On the G Pro, you will most likely be paying for features you won't even get the most out of if you are like me when I first got the mouse.
The G Pro Wireless for ALL clicking methods
- Normal clicking
It's just easy to click, I'm not sure what I can say here. You don't get tired of clicking easily, and it sounds nice.
- Butterfly clicking
I learned how to butterfly click before I learned how to jitter as it was much easier to learn and really easy to perform. While the G Pro rarely double clicks, it was really easy to get 12 CPS and over on the mouse. I did reach 17 CPS once with some lucky double clicks, but unless you really beat your mouse, or otherwise modify it, don't get this mouse if you want double clicks while butterflying. Still, this method worked well for me when I used it.
I used butterfly clicking on the G Pro when I "tossed Hurtin like spring salid", although I was new to butterfly clicking at the time.
- Jitter clicking
I actually learned how to jitter on the Hyper X Pulsefire Haste, a mouse which I will review in a separate thread. It took my a while to get the hang of, but I now main it as my clicking method as it's satisfying to perform, and makes PvP more enjoyable for me.
Back to what this thread is about though, I eventually switched back over to the G Pro Wireless after a two month break from it, and this was when I really realized how wonderful the mouse actually is.
The Hyper X was always super easy to jitter on, but the G Pro easily outperforms the Hyper X when it comes to jittering. The clicks are way lighter, and I felt like jittering was almost effortless. I'm not a jitter god like Huzuni, but I found myself jittering 13-14, sometimes peaking at 15 consistently.
Speaking of Huzuni, I yeeted the man just like Hurtin while jittering with the G Pro, which I thought was pretty cool.
One thing I didn't expect, but maybe should have, was that the G Pro Wireless weight really helped stabilize my aim while jittering. Keep in mind that the G Pro is around 20 grams lighter than the Hyper X. I feel like the mouse was made for jittering.
Cons
- The side buttons
The side buttons are almost just as easy to click as the main mouse buttons, and while that might seem like a good thing at first, I actually find myself accidentally pressing them mid-combat by just brushing my thumb on them.
Because I bound my toggle perspective keybind to those side mouse buttons, this often times heavily interferes with my fights, and has cost me multiple encounters.
An easy way to solve this for you would be to simply not use the side buttons for keybinds, or do something that won't matter mid-fight. The side buttons honestly just feel cheap and I'm not sure why they have to be so easy to click.
- The charging chord
While I understand that the G Pro Wireless is supposed to be a wireless mouse for the sake of a wire not getting in the way, I feel like it's worth noting that, while plugged in, the G Pros charging wire is really stiff and is extremely noticeable when using the mouse.
It drags a ton, and there is a lot of resistance added, which is why the mouse is better off wireless. I actually use the mouse a lot while it's charging for whatever reason, so it bugs me a lot more than it will for most people.
The good news is that the G Pro has long battery life, and it actually charges really fast, meaning you won't have to bother with it's charging chord hardly at all.
- Uhh... sweat?
I have really sweaty palms, which really sucks since it means I am frequently cleaning off my equipment. After even just a short session of playing, I felt like the G Pro was disgusting, and I'd have to clean it. This isn't really the mouses problem, but I do know now that I prefer a honeycomb design on the back of my mice just because I feel like I'm not cleaning it as often, and my palms feel more free, in a way.
This shouldn't affect most people at all, I just thought it was worth noting.
Final thoughts
Yes, the mouse is expensive, I mean that's an obvious drawback... but for competitive players who want a solid, quality gaming mouse that'll last for a longer period of time, I highly recommend the G Pro Wireless. Again, I've used the mouse for a year, and I've had no issues with the mouse. If you can spare the money, and you know you will get the most out of it, go for it!
Well, make sure you watch and read some other reviews, I'd still consider myself a bit of a casual player, and it might be worth gathering some more information from other more reliable sources. With that said, have a good day, and I'll see you next time.
