Cooler Master revealed the MM830 about a year ago at CES 2018, and it just became available for purchase. It features a top-of-the-line optical sensor, PBT main buttons, an OLED display, a unique D-pad, and many more interesting features—and it of course has RGB lighting as well.

1000hz isn't perfectly stable? yet it is highly recommended? why would i drop 80 on this if it isn't stable...
 
Looks almost like a Logi G502 clone with a few changes to stay within the law.

I was very doubtful about this, and been thinking about it for a few days straight, and I came to the conclusion that I'd still recommend it. I knew it's gonna be controversial, but I stand by it.
There are some companies out there who produce "eSports-grade" mice that are locked to 500 Hz for stability reasons. This mouse isn't, but it takes two clicks to get it down to that value, and after that it works as intended. And again, I was able to measure, but unable to actually feel this unstableness in multiple games, on a 144 Hz monitor with high FPS counts. It's a more casual-gamer-friendly product with its features to be honest, and I'm pretty sure a casual gamer won't care about some spikes on a graph if they can't feel its downsides in-game.
On the other hand the mouse is straight up fantastic when it comes to its materials, build quality, main buttons, cable, etc.

Or 110g mouse. Or that badly shaped.

Shape is always up to personal preference, it might not work for you but it can easily be the best one for some people with a different hand size/grip style. I agree on the weight part.

It's very far off actually.

As noted in the review, it's not perfectly "stable" when measured. But that instability doesn't seem to make itself felt during gaming.
 
Hello @Vanir you mention "built-in weights" Is it very hard to remove them? Beside the need for tools. I really like my razer basilisk v2. I love the thumb rest but i dislike the ABS material, which is already shiny. I also have the MM830 and it's great because it has a thumb rest and is made of PBT. Did you maybe make any photos of the weights? How much weight could be removed this way?
