With the BOLT, Fnatic finally returns to the gaming mouse world. Equipped with PixArt's PAW3370 sensor, Kailh GM 8.0 switches for the main buttons, and weighing just 68 g, the ambidextrous BOLT is in line with current trends. Furthermore, Fnatic claims up to 110 hours of battery life, and up to 220 hours using Bluetooth.

Excellent review.

I’m mixed on the mouse personality after owning it for 2 weeks.

Eventually gave it to a neighbor and settled on the Pulsar Xlite V2 wireless.

Same button switches, same sensor, however the shape and better weight distribution won me over (as did the red color).

Still use Fnatic LP Stresk 65 keyboard (small fast and solid build) and Fnatic Control 3 desk pad.

Man, all these cool new mice being released and they’re all too small for me... Still, it looks like a nice mouse and I hope it does well.

Coating for me was slippery and the side buttons were kinda dry and creaky.

Noticed that too. Review has been updated accordingly.
So it sold very well, and Fnatic rewarded the gaming community with a $20 price increase.

Of course.

Asshats :)

Hello, I bought Fnatic Bolt recently and I'm not sure if I should use debounce time at 1ms or default 4ms? Does it affect anything beside click latency?

You'll get slam-clicking and possibly double-clicking further down the line if you set it to 1 ms. I'd give it a try at 1 ms for a couple of days to see if you can handle the slam-clicking. If you can't, increase to 2 ms, try it again, then 3 ms if it's still annoying, and so on.
