Hi guys and welcome to my review for the TeckNet M008 Gaming Mouse, now I know as well as most the market for mice is huge and trying to decide which mouse you want and how many of those boxes it ticks is important, but I was in a hurry as my long serving Gigabyte mouse was on it's last legs so I had a good surf with a small budget in mind and a list of must haves and came across what I thought was a "too good to be true" product. Now when this happens alarm bells start ringing and the counterfeits start appearing so I did a little research and read quite a few reviews, albeit Amazon customer reviews mainly and those pokey "pop gamer so called reviewers" which all pretty much lead to the same brown nosing results. Well not content with that I fired off a few emails to a: the manufacturer and b: the Amazon seller, with surprising results they were really quick at returning my messages and confirmed everything. So Bang! the trigger was pulled and I handed over 18 of my British pounds and proceeded to play the Royalmail waiting game.
48Hrs later, here is what I have.
Firstly the packaging was sparse and very... well basic compared to other mice I've had in the past, no fancy plastic that's impossible to open without the need for a medic on standby it's just a simple brown box with brief description on it, extremely Eco friendly and a plus point in my eyes, onto the contents:
1x Mouse
1x Driver disc
1x Weights set
1x Instruction manual
The Mouse.
I was not disappointed here I can tell you, first thing you notice is it's heavy, very heavy in fact I had to remove 4 of the weights before I was happy with the weight. The construction is solid with a full aluminium base and frame, even the center top piece that contains the scroll wheel and DPI lights is aluminium, the anti-sweat coating is a delight to hold and covers everything even the buttons it really does make for a comfortable experience, the scroll wheel is firm and yet very manageable indeed with illuminated side pieces and a thick tire tread rubber center, the cable I'm in two minds over this, I like the braided cable and who doesn't like a braided cable but this one is just a tad too stiff, while it is that lovely soft braid it is as I say stiff also the colour I feel should have been neutral either grey and black or simply black rather than red and black. The underside of the mouse is also work of art, the brushed aluminium is just eye catching, the 4 nylon feet are nicely spread and quite large making a flatter more stable gliding surface and also tucked away on the bottom is a settings switch which alters the colour of the LEDs.
The Details.
DPI Resolution - 1000/2000/4000/8200/16400 (Avago A9800 Laser Sensor)
No. of Buttons - 13 (Omron Switches)
Polling Rate - 1000hz
Acceleration - 30g adjustable 100 - 150 ips.
Programmable - Yes
Extra Weights - 8PCS, 2.4g Each
LED Lights - 5 colour switchable, 16 Million via software.
Cable - 1.8Mtr Braided, gold plated USB
Conclusion.
So in conclusion should you consider this mouse, most definitely yes! Given the build quality and shear comfort and ease of use for the price it is unbelievable, I would still be happy with this mouse if it had cost twice the price, I know TeckNet don't have the glamour or the exposure that say Corsair, Roccat, Madcatz or any of the popular mouse manufacturers have but that shouldn't put you off this companies products this mouse is clearly a winner, feature full and solid quality, while I found only one thing I don't like about this mouse namely the braiding, with all this in mind it still gets my gold award, great work TeckNet.
