What customers don't like about A4Tech FG10C Air FG10CS Air

  • Loud secondary buttons: Some reviewers noted that while main clicks are silent, other buttons or the scroll wheel can be noisy
  • Limited buttons: Features only 4 buttons with no dedicated side buttons for back/forward navigation
  • Moderate performance for gaming: Lower polling rate (125Hz) and maximum DPI (2000) compared to dedicated gaming mice
  • Lack of advanced features: Does not include RGB lighting or onboard memory for profile storage
  • Warranty concerns: Some reports of inconsistent warranty coverage depending on the seller

Verdict

The A4Tech Fstyler FG10C Air and its silent-click variant, the FG10CS Air, are versatile 2.4GHz wireless mice featuring a unique 'Desk + Air' dual-functionality that allows them to act as both a standard optical mouse and a handheld multimedia controller. Key specifications include a 4-level adjustable resolution (1000-1200-1600-2000 DPI), a 125 Hz report rate, and a rechargeable lithium battery with Type-C charging. Main pros include its innovative air gesture support (8-in-one gestures), stable wireless range of up to 15 meters, and a lightweight, symmetric design suitable for ambidextrous use. However, notable cons include its relatively low polling rate compared to dedicated gaming mice and the lack of side buttons or onboard memory for complex macro profiles.
