Mionix Castor Black Optical Gaming Mouse

Perfect shape and sensor, i needed a new mouse after my razer naga 2012's switches finally broke, i tried out a few others like the logitech g402 which is a good mouse with a great sensor but the weight and shape were really hard to get used to, the rival 100 was also another i tried but the "safe shape" of it felt really uncomfortable to me. finally i found this, its a really nice shape with a really comfortable rubberized hard plastic coating giving it a nice grip feel, it doesn't weigh alot (around 86 grams i think), i found the sensor is super responsive and snappy and doesn't rattle when you shake the mouse. another thing i like is all the buttons on the mouse require significantly less actuation force than those on the logitech g402.as for the software it's a little clunky but that could be fixed with firmware updates in the future, other than its easy to use. the only thing i can really think of that i dont like is that the cable comes bundled up in lots of short folds so its all zig zagy and catches of your desk so i had to straighten mine out for a few days, other than that the braided cable seems very good quality and smooth. all in all this mouse is a 5 out of 5 for me, really pleased with it.

Its technically a "gaming mouse" but it doesn't have a lot of the settings/features the likes of Logitech/razer would give you. Its fairly comfortable and should be great for most people. ( I have large hands and it was still good).2 Main gripes.- The liftoff distance cannot be changed and this messed my aim up a bit in csgo as i am a mou$eLifter.- The clicks are fairly loud and harder to press than e.g a deathadder.For that i will be giving this mouse awayHowever it is still a vary nice mouse and i would recommend it to most average gamers due to the low price but still getting a good sensor, braided cable and side buttons.

The Mionix Castor is a great mouse; I've used it everyday for almost 3 months now and it has been great! Let me start off by saying its extremely comfortable and responsive. I play games like cs:go that require precise mouse movements and this fits the job perfectly. It comes in a strong, beautiful box! The cable is attached to the mouse however... For some mac users you cannot change the colour, you will have to change it on a pc then bring it back to mac, never the less it still works on mac (if you don't change it the colour we be yellow.greenPros:Extremely comfortable for long sessionsLeft and right click is very responsiveTracks movements extremely wellFit well for small and medium handsLooks goodHas adjustable lightingCons:Thumb grip does not work too goodNot for very big handsGets dirty easily (however this also effects many other mice)DPI/Sensitivity button is easy miss clicked and is a botherHard(ish) to cleanCan't change colours of macOnly 3 DPI settingsNon of the cons above should be considered deal breakers!!!

I have mixed feelings about this mouse...The ergonomics are good with the mouse fitting my hand very well. The tracking is good too.RGB is just RGB, nothing special there. The software utility has a lot of options available and doesn't even have to be installed to operate.A major downside in my opinion are the buttons. They feel mushy and don't give you enough tactile feedback when you press them. It becomes a problem when you are wearing a headset and can't tell how many clicks you've made. Another annoying thing is that you can't rest your hand on the mouse due to the second mouse button being very sensitive. It doesn't take a lot to press the button and I found myself constantly missclicking it with my middle finger even though I don't have large/heavy hands.Overall not a bad mouse but I would not recommend it for competitive gaming. Had to send mine back for a refund due to the above.

I got the "legacy black" color. It was 23 pounds, a perfect deal for such a great quality mouse.It has a rubberized texture, which feels very good to the touch and also improves its grip.I didn't download the software to customize the RGB color, so I can't comment on that.The only downside was that this mouse (at least the legacy version) doesn't work on laminated wood surfaces (like office desks), so I had to buy a mousemat. Not a big problem, but it wasn't expected as I had a cheaper mouse with an invisible optic sensor that worked perfectly on the same surface.
