Professional reviewers commend the Venus for its exceptional customizability, ergonomic comfort, and precise Avago sensor performance, while noting that its weight and bulkiness, along with a modest 1000 Hz polling rate, limit its appeal for users seeking ultra-light or ultra-fast response devices.
Everyday users love the intuitive side-button layout and the comfortable grip, especially during long sessions, but many echo the same concerns about the mouse's heft and the hassle of swapping weights, making it a favorite for stationary MMO setups but less attractive for portable use.
Professional reviewers commend the M801 for its pinpoint accuracy, ultra-quick wired and wireless response, and robust feature set including nine programmable buttons and high DPI. The build quality, magnetic dongle storage, and comprehensive software are highlighted as strong points, though the lack of Mac support and unspecified switch durability are noted as minor drawbacks.
Everyday users generally praise the mouse for its smooth dual-mode performance, vibrant RGB lighting, and the convenience of long battery life with Type-C charging. Common themes include appreciation for the extensive macro capabilities and occasional frustration with the software learning curve and the mouse's heavier weight compared to lighter competitors.
