Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The NIGHTSWORD is the tunable-weight option in this ranking, and the listing covers the numbers: an 18,000 DPI sensor, 10 programmable buttons in the title, wired USB, LED lighting and a matte black plastic body, under the NIGHTSWORD RGB name.
One internal inconsistency is worth flagging honestly: the title states 10 programmable buttons while the specification table gives a button quantity of 8. Read that as a listing mismatch rather than a hidden feature, and check the shape against your grip before buying. At the time of collection it carried 1,545 ratings at 4.4 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
