Look like Christmas came early this year:



I am planning on doing a (mini-)review of this wheel, also in comparison with some of my own creations, so stay tuned

For reasons I'll not get into right now, I have swapped the GPX for the LM-Pro.
The used encoders/buttons/shifters feel identical from the GPX to LM-Pro.

The encoders feel the same as the popular CTS288 encoders (which I like very much in my own made wheels).
They have very nice aluminium knurled knobs on them.

The buttons, honestly, were a bit of a surprise to me.
I have used knitter buttons, NKK and APEM on my own wheels and other wheels i have bought (SSRG among others) and those all feel better.
You get a more tactile feeling, you really know when you clicked the button, especially handy when you are wearing gloves.
You dont get the same tactile feeling with the PSE GPX/LM-Pro, unfortunately.
On the LM-Pro the buttons are lit, which is a nice feature.

The shifters on the other hand are very tactile, they have a much louder click and snap action than the Martin ascher / SSRG shifters / CubeControls.
They are almost too tactile and require almost too much force to actuate (for my liking) to shift down multiple times fast.
Im considering putting different magnets in them, or spacers to reduce the magnets strength.

The attached coiled USB cable is amazing.
Very thick, very rugged.
Also uses a very nice connector.

The grips on both wheels are amazing, the grip you get from them is very good.
Being rubber, they wont wear quickly .

Fit and finish in general is very good, which better be the case, considering the price
