"Both are based on PixArt optical sensors, and both come equipped with Omron switches rated at 10 million clicks. The wired mice also incorporate a 1.8 m braided USB Type-A cable, and come with the option to use as a standard mouse, or with full customization via the supporting Viper Gaming software. Meanwhile the RGB functionality is provided via a four zone LED lighting system."
"Both models Also featured is integrated RGB LED lighting from four different zones, and both come equipped with Omron switches rated at 10 million clicks; connecting either the V550 and V551 to a system can be done with a 1.8 m braided USB Type-A cable."
Since when is it necessary to note that a mouse uses an optical sensor? As far as I know optical sensors replaced rubber coated balls almost two decades ago. How is that even a thing to mention it?
Nitpicking because lasers (as opposed to LEDs) have to do with light and optics too, but laser mice have their own set of pros and cons e.g. ability to track a lot better on glossy/flat out glass surfaces, such as with Logitech's Darkfield sensor, are usually able to report at insanely high CPIs, however because they are able to track so well they pick up a lot of imperfections on rough surfaces like cloth mousepads especially at very high speeds, etc. https://tl.net/forum/tech-support/333648-an-overvi...
