Verdict

The Cherry MC 9620 FPS is a customizable wired gaming mouse featuring a high-precision PixArt PMW-3360 optical sensor with a resolution of up to 12,000 DPI, 250 IPS tracking speed, and 50g acceleration. Its standout characteristics include a 5-stage extendable palm rest for ergonomic adjustment, nine programmable buttons—including an innovative analog thumb trigger—and a weight-tuning system with three 5g inserts that adjust the total mass from 130g to 145g. Key pros are its robust build with OMRON switches, smooth Teflon glide pads, and 16.8 million color RGB lighting with a unique logo projection. However, notable cons include its relatively high weight compared to modern ultralight competitors, a lacks of rubberized side grips, and software that some users find limited in customization options.
