LOOKS AND DESIGN
First off, the M2 looks the biz with two silver buttons on the side and a silver plate in the middle housing the wheel and an extra button. Coated in a matt black non-slip rubberised finished, the M2 has the cool looks of a modern mouse.The M2 has a well thought-through, ergonomic design which nicely fills my large palm, though, truth be told, I could do with it being a tad larger… but I do have hands like spades, so I reckon the average gamer would have no trouble with it. On the right-hand side, there’s a small wing to rest your pinkie on, which plants the M2 firmly in the right-hander territory. This is a handy addition as it saves you dragging your pinkie on the table… which is a boon you’ll only notice once you're no longer doing it.
The wing actually gives you the chance to hold the mouse far more comfortably and effectively by prompting you to rest just your pinkie on the wing and cup the mouse in your whole hand. This means you naturally settle with your index on the left button, middle finger on the wheel and ring finger on the right button… you may do this already, but with the M2, you’ll find that this grip, weird as it feels as first, is essential to really make use of its abilities.
