I've had this mouse for about a month now and I like it a lot. I had been using a standard HP mouse that came with my old laptop and decided it was time to upgrade. This thing looked really nice for only $20, but because it's so cheap I was also a bit skeptical. After reading lots of reviews and watching some on youtube, I finally just took the chance on it and bought it. It's only $20 anyway, so why not. I'm really glad I did. This thing is very nice quality and works exactly the way it should. It's heavy the way a high quality mouse should be, the buttons are very responsive, the material is high quality and feels nice to the touch, the DPI setting is simple and quick, and of course the lights look super cool as well as the overall design of the mouse.
I remember reading a few specific complaints from other reviewers. Mainly about the battery life. Also the "glitchyness" or inaccuracy of the optical sensor, the mouse "randomly dying" sometimes, and overheating when used for too long. I'm going to go ahead and clear all that up for you now. First of all, so many people said the battery only lasted like one day or one week or something exaggerated like that. Remember I said I've had the mouse for a month. Well I haven't had to change the batteries even once and I'm a heavy gamer, on top of the fact that I almost always have the lights turned on. The battery life is amazing. I just use regular Duracell. It's not a problem at all. Second is the sensor. Some people said it didn't work well on a mouse pad, or that it skipped around. Completely untrue. The sensor works perfectly fine whether on my mouse pad, on my table, or even on the arm of the couch. I use the mouse on its highest DPI setting and it's very responsive and works great with all my games whether shooters like Warframe, or adventure games like Dark Souls. Next is the "random dying" issue that a lot of people mentioned. This mouse has a feature that apparently most of the other reviewers are clueless about. It's a feature that puts the mouse in a sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. It's there to save battery life, and all it takes is one click of either mouse button and it will turn back on. It would be nice if you could deactivate this feature, but you can't. Honestly though it doesn't even matter. It's not a problem at all. As for the mouse overheating, I'll get straight to the point. It doesn't. It doesn't get hot, it doesn't even get warm. Even with the lights turned on for hours at a time. It stays regular temperature at all times. No problem there either.
There are just 2 small gripes I have with this mouse. When I first started using it, it was a little uncomfortable in my hand. But that may just be because my last mouse was so amazingly comfortable that nothing will ever compare. Haha. It would be perfect if it just had a small indention for your pinky to rest, rather than a hump. But It's really not a problem. Despite that, I've already adjusted to the way it feels and now it's actually pretty comfortable. The only other small problem I had, was the two side buttons. They're a bit wobbly and feel like they were just kind of stuck there on the side of the mouse at the last minute. But even so, they're still responsive and positioned in a nice spot.
Having said all that, I'd definitely recommend this mouse to any gamer who prefers wireless mice. It's very affordable, very nice quality, super cool looking, and works as intended. So if you're anything like me and you're skeptical because of the price and the fact that it's Chinese, go ahead take a breathe of relief and just buy the thing. It's a great mouse for $20. Trust me.
I hope this review helps some of you indecisive buyers like me. Thanks for reading.
