Verdict

The AOC AGON GM500 is an ambidextrous, wired gaming mouse featuring a Pixart PWM3325 optical sensor with a maximum sensitivity of 5,000 DPI, 100 IPS tracking speed, and 20G acceleration. It is equipped with eight programmable buttons, durable Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks, and customizable 16.8 million color RGB lighting manageable via AOC G-Tools software.
