Perfect basic gaming mouse

New E-blue Cobra Wired USB Gaming Game Optical Mouse Mice 1600DPI For windows Mac Linux

Pros: This mouse has left and right click, middle scroll and the scroll wheel is also a clickable button. There is also a DPI button. Pressing it cycles through 3 different DPI settings, which will basically change the speed of the mouse because the precision changes. For gamers, this is great when you play an FPS and need to snipe someone.

Cons: None for me, though the mouse may feel a tad bit light to some gamers, and the mouse's profile is a tad bit low. It's more of a longer mouse. Your hand would be more flat on it. If you are used to resting your hand on the mouse in a claw-like fashion, then this will be different. But I'm pretty picky and this feels great; but it still might be a con for some.

Overall Review: This comes from Hong Kong and there is very little English instruction. But this isn't really a problem. The only thing you might need to figure out is what the DPI button does, but like I said, it just cycles through 3 different DPI settings. Also, they sent me a note in English that gave me contact info if I had any questions, so I see no problems with this at all.

Slightly broken but still works well

Pros: Two connection options, either eSATA or USB 3.0. I'm using eSATA and transfer speeds are wonderful with my 7200 RPM 1 TB Western Digital HDD.

Cons: Materials feel cheap (this does not necessarily mean they are). Fan button simply fell down when pressed down normally, and it does not come back up and I can hear a piece floating around inside if I move the device. HOWEVER, the fan still works perfectly, and if I turn the speed all the way down, the fan turns completely off anyway, so I don't "really" mind the button being broken. Still, because it seems a bit cheaply made and was broken, I felt I should give it an average rating.

Overall Review: My friend also has one of these and he said he noticed that eSATA transfers are more consistent while the USB 3.0 transfer rates fluctuated. I have not tested this on my own device. I have used this only for a couple days, so I cannot vouch for extended use.

Good so far

Pros: Mouse tracked just fine on it. No super strong "new" smell (some mouse pads will smell very chemical-like).

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: The only thing that might go wrong is it could end up falling apart very fast. I have only had it for a few days. But so far it has been great. We'll see how long it lasts. Also, it might be obvious but it's standard size. Gamers might want something a little bigger (gaming mouse pads tend to be a bit larger).
