What customers like about Turtle Beach Burst II Air

  • Extremely lightweight at approximately 47g, making it ideal for fast-paced gaming and reducing wrist fatigue
  • Versatile connectivity options including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.2, and wired USB-C
  • Excellent gliding performance provided by high-quality pure PTFE skates and included larger replacement feet
  • Precise tracking and responsiveness thanks to the 26K DPI Owl-Eye optical sensor
  • Satisfying and durable click feel from Titan Optical Switches rated for 100 million clicks
  • Comfortable symmetrical shape that accommodates various grip styles (palm, claw, fingertip)
  • Generous included accessories such as grip tape, a flexible PhantomFlex cable, and extra skates
  • Impressive battery life on Bluetooth (up to 120 hours), though 2.4GHz is more modest (40 hours)

What customers don't like about Turtle Beach Burst II Air

  • Unconventional placement of the DPI button on the front-left side can be awkward to reach during gameplay
  • Lack of RGB lighting, which was omitted to prioritize weight reduction
  • Black model is prone to showing fingerprints and smudges easily
  • Some users report a 'hollow' or loud sound from the main buttons
  • Swarm II software can be unintuitive, cluttered, or occasionally buggy with battery reporting
  • Limited battery life in high-performance 2.4GHz mode compared to some competitors
  • Scroll wheel lacks a rubberized grip, which some users find slippery during intense use
  • Occasional reports of minor build quality issues like side-wall flex or slight button wobble

Verdict

The Turtle Beach Burst II Air is an ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse featuring a best-in-class 47g solid-top shell and a high-performance Owl-Eye 26K DPI optical sensor with 650 IPS tracking speed. It utilizes durable Titan Optical Switches rated for 100 million clicks and offers versatile tri-mode connectivity including lag-free 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.2, and a flexible PhantomFlex USB-C wired option. Key pros include its exceptional lightweight design for quick flick shots, pre-tensioned buttons for responsive clicking, and long battery life of up to 120 hours on Bluetooth. However, notable cons include a relatively short 40-hour battery life when using the 2.4GHz gaming mode, a polling rate capped at 1,000Hz which may trail some elite competitors, and a lack of RGB lighting for weight reduction.
