A Gaming Mouse That Delivers, But Falters on Lifespan

I've been using computer mice for years, and my last one lasted over 3.5 years. It was a great device, but nothing lasts forever, and I had to upgrade. I hate having to search for a new one every time - it's not always successful. The problem is that manufacturers are constantly updating their product lines, so the model I wanted was no longer available. I ended up buying a different mouse, and I'm not sure if I made the right choice.

The mouse I bought was a gaming mouse with optical resolution of 4000 dpi. It's a wired device with a long 1.8m cable, which is a major plus in my book. The cable is securely attached to the mouse itself and has a soft, fabric outer sheath that's nice to the touch.

The mouse has a smooth base with no crevices for dust to accumulate. My mouse glides effortlessly across my desk, without any skips or hesitations. The buttons are galore - a total of 9, which are used for additional functions in games, as well as to switch between different mouse speeds and lighting modes.

I've got to say, the sides of the mouse are covered with a rubberized material that's super comfortable - it doesn't slip out of my hand and feels great to the touch. Initially, there was a design on it, but over time it's started to wear off partially, mainly from the big finger.

The mouse has a backlight for the brand name and scroll wheel. You can customize the colors and modes, which is a nice feature. However, after six months, the scroll wheel started to malfunction. And that's a real bummer. I use tables with a lot of rows for work, so I need to be able to navigate them quickly, but now the mouse just decides to scroll on its own.

I'm keeping an eye out for a new one, unfortunately. This mouse is pretty great - it's responsive, does its job, and feels comfortable in my hand. Plus, it's not too pricey. The only thing that really bugged me was that the scroll wheel broke after just 1.5 years and now it's causing me some issues.

As for the packaging, the mouse came in a compact cardboard box. The design is simple but informative. It's easy to see the features and specs from the outside and inside. The packaging included a user manual and a warranty card.

I always pay attention to the shape and size of a mouse when choosing one. For me, it's essential that the mouse fits comfortably in my hand and doesn't cause fatigue. This mouse is great in that regard - I actually tried them out in the store to see how they felt.

The mouse is manufactured in China, which is a common practice in the industry. The price of the mouse was 1599 rubles in 2024, and now it costs 1399 rubles. You can buy it from М.Видео or Эльдорадо.

Overall, this mouse is a great option for gamers and casual users alike. However, the lifespan of the scroll wheel is a major concern. I'll be keeping an eye on it and hoping it doesn't happen again.

Thanks for reading!

The mouse came in a compact cardboard box. The design is simple but informative. It's easy to see the features and specs from the outside and inside.

The packaging included a user manual and a warranty card.My Experience

I always pay attention to the shape and size of a mouse when choosing one. For me, it's essential that the mouse fits comfortably in my hand and doesn't cause fatigue. This mouse is great in that regard - I actually tried them out in the store to see how they felt.

The base of this mouse is super smooth, with no crevices for dust to accumulate. My mouse glides effortlessly across my desk, without any skips or hesitations.

This is an optical mouse, which means it only works when connected via a USB cable - no battery slot in sight.

The cable itself is impressively long, which is a major plus in my book.

And the cable is securely attached to the mouse itself.

The cable's outer sheath is made of a soft, fabric material that's nice to the touch. It's picked up a bit of dust over time, but it's still holding up remarkably well - no frays or damage in sight.

As you'd expect from a gaming mouse, there are buttons galore - a total of 9. They're used for additional functions in games, as well as to switch between different mouse speeds and lighting modes.To be honest, we haven't actually used any of the extra buttons yet. I'm just a casual user, writing reviews and working on my computer, while my partner plays the occasional online shooter. He's not using the extra buttons either, but I guess that's just the way it is with gaming mice - they're all about the features. The sides of the mouse are covered with a rubberized material, which is super comfortable - it doesn't slip out of my hand and feels great to the touch. Initially, there was a design on it, but over time it's started to wear off partially, mainly from the big finger. The mouse has a backlight for the brand name and scroll wheel. You can customize the colors and modes. As for how it performs, I've got no complaints. The mouse is super responsive both in games and work. The buttons click just right. But, after six months, the scroll wheel started to malfunction. And that's a real bummer. I use tables with a lot of rows for work, so I need to be able to navigate them quickly, but now the mouse just decides to scroll on its own. I'll try to scroll it one way, and it'll scroll the other way, or just freeze in place or scroll in jerks. Maybe it's just got some dust inside, but there's no way to clean it. So, I'm keeping an eye out for a new one, unfortunately.
