What changed?
This compares the V2 Med with the same-size Pro. Both are listed at 122 × 62 × 37 mm.
| Feature | Pro | V2 Med |
|---|---|---|
| Polling | 8K wireless, 1K wired | 8K wireless and wired |
| Main switches | TTC or Omron optical | Omron optical only |
| Encoder | TTC Dust-Proof Silver | RAESHA optical |
| Sides | Slits or solid | Solid only |
| Magnesium shell | Earlier construction | Thicker, reinforced |
| Nominal weight | 41 g, solid sides | 45 g |
| Edges | Earlier design | Beveled |
| Top cutouts | Larger | Smaller |
WLMOUSE describes the thicker shell as stronger. The tradeoff is about 4 g over the solid-side Pro, comparing nominal weights. Both have a ±2 g tolerance. The added weight accompanies the redesign, not necessarily the magnesium alone.
