The Pwnage Ultra Custom Wireless Symm 2 is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse with modular L/R button covers and palm rests for your choice of a solid or honeycomb shell. It’s the wireless version of the Pwnage Ultra Custom Symm 2, and it uses an upgraded PixArt PAW3370 sensor and newer Kailh 8.0 switches for its L/R buttons. The symmetrical shape feels comfortable to use, and, performance-wise, it has impressive click latency, a very low lift-off distance, and a wide CPI range, within which you can adjust the set CPI in increments of 50. Unfortunately, our unit undershoots the set CPI during quick cursor movements.
Our Verdict

However, you can reprogram every button and even bind macros to them to speed up your workflow. While it doesn't connect with Bluetooth, it does connect wirelessly with its USB receiver.
