What customers like about ADATA XPG Primer

  • Durable double-shot PBT chassis that is resistant to wear and grease
  • High-performance PixArt PMW3360 optical sensor with up to 12,000 DPI
  • Satisfying and clicky main buttons using Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks
  • Lightweight and flexible braided cable that reduces tangling
  • Tasteful and customizable RGB lighting effects
  • Grippy matte coating that is easy to clean and does not show fingerprints

What customers don't like about ADATA XPG Primer

  • Shape can feel uncomfortable or unsupported for some hand sizes and grip styles
  • Permanent high-pitched noise (coil whine) reported by some users during tracking
  • Textured side grips are plastic rather than rubber, which some find slippery or 'cheap'
  • Heavier than many modern competitive gaming mice at approximately 98g
  • Side buttons and scroll wheel can feel 'spongy' or have low resistance
  • Limited customisation options in the software for DPI and lighting compared to competitors

Verdict

The ADATA XPG Primer is a right-handed wired gaming mouse featuring a high-performance PixArt PMW3360 optical sensor with 12,000 DPI, 250 IPS tracking speed, and 50G acceleration. Built with a durable double-shot PBT chassis and Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks, it offers seven customizable buttons, a 1000Hz polling rate, and vibrant RGB lighting. Main pros include its robust build quality, reliable sensor performance, and comfortable textured side grips. However, notable cons include its relatively heavy 98g weight, stiff braided cable, and lack of advanced software customization for fine-tuning settings.
