@superrob a lengthy 1st client review of skoll
The G-wolves skoll is the worlds first light weight ergonomic mouse. This mouse uses one of the most beloved shapes ever made, the ec series and expands upon its design by adding brand new features and improvements while keeping all the most beloved aspects of the ec series.

The design details of the skoll:
Sensor: This mouse uses the Pixart 3360 sensor. Using one of the top sensors, the skoll will perform pretty much flawlessly in play and wont give you any issues with aiming. This sensor is used in many popular mice such as the finalmouse and model o, so you can expect top quality precision when gaming without any faults.
Buttons: The buttons used are Omron switches with 50m clicks. They are very light, tactile, Crisp sounding and has fast reponsiveness. If you have ever used a finalmouse, they are almost identical to the switches on that.
Weight: The skoll comes in at 66g, weighed with the cable. This is incredibly light considering the old ec series came in at 85g+. This mouse utalizes the honey comb design to keep the weight down. Anywhere and everywhere that could be thought of to lower the weight, has been removed.
Cable: The mouse uses an acutal paracord for the cable. Unlike the finalmouse and model o which their lightweight cables still have shielding, the skoll does not. The cable feels 99.5% like an actual paracord, only reason I didnt say it was 1:1 was due to the texture and weave being slightly different and tighter. However it still feels exactly like a paracord when in use.
Coating: The coating of the mouse is Matte. Its has a very subtle rough feeling that provides excellent grip. Its amazing for people who have sweaty hands. Mouse Skates: While the skates are not pure ptfe, they are still very good. When testing with the stock skates, I could say I had literally no issue with them and wouldnt mind keeping them on stock. They are very smooth right from the get go and glides really well. Id say they are more slightly on the speed end than control but still can aim precisely with ease. Overall never had a single moment where I felt the mouse being scratchy during use.
Side buttons: The side buttons on the skoll have completely been redesigned. They are in a new position and feel a lot more natural to press than the EC series. With the EC series, it always felt weird to press the side buttons during play. However with the new design, I have not once felt that and feel these were done perfectly. Its a major improvement. The side buttons also have no pre travel that the EC side buttons suffer from.

Appearence: The design of the skoll is exactly the same shape as the EC series, except comes in slightly larger than the EC2-a and Smaller than the EC1-a. The coating on the mouse is matte. However the matte feel is a bit more rougher than mice like the model o. The color scheme of the mouse comes in two styles. Faded black and a subtle white. The version I managed to get was the black. The black version on the top coating features a fade from gray to black. Where as the sides and bottom of the shell were pure black. The Scroll whell is also black on the rubber and grey on the plastic. The G wolves skoll logo is tastefully added under the scroll wheel giving it a nice aesthetic look.

Initial thoughts and final words: When I first took this mouse out of the packaging and held it, I instantly felt the same familiarity and feel of the ec2. It felt almost 100% the same. I had to look hard and compare the two to only realise the size was a tiny bit bigger. It still felt very natural and gripped a lot better to my hands than the ec2 (my hand size is 19.5×10). This mouse definately is one of the best on the market. The price costs 60$ and is worth every dollar. It has so much value and so many extras. If you were considering getting an ergonomic mouse, this should be your first choice. Its that good…
