Hardware Secrets, Madshrimps, ocaholic, TestSeek, and TweakTown have reviewed gaming mice from Cooler Master, Logitech, OCZ, and SteelSeries.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Hardware Secrets: OCZ Eclipse Gaming Mouse Review:

    "Even without giving in to the competitor’s race for the upper levels of sensitivity, the Eclipse handled more than adequately in two weeks of intense usage, both as a work mouse and a gamig-grade device, over a tabletop surface and a mousepad. The smaller body felt good in the hand that rested comfortably over the rubberized body. Our only gripe was the hard to press thumb finger that had also a very, very loud click. The lack of pre-sets of dpi settings was a good thing, since it gives the user the freedom to choose each individual dpi setting to match his gaming style."

  • Madshrimps: OCZ Behemoth Double-Laser Gaming Mouse Review:

    "So how much of a decadent PC-style would one have, to use one mouse for browsing the web, and one mouse for gaming. At first I thought it would not be feasible to recommend such a setup, but that was before I looked up the price of the Behemoth. The Logitech MX1000 still costs about $70, the OCZ Behemoth is less than $15. Paying $15 for a mouse dedicated for games is quite a bargain, given the feature set of the OCZ Behemoth, the software tools and the fact that it simply excels at what it is made for, it would be hard not to recommend it, or at least give it some serious consideration. Logitech’s wired gaming mice with similar features cost at least twice as much; as do other gaming mice from other companies; is there a more affordable gaming mouse with similar features as the OCZ Behemoth out there?"

  • ocaholic: Steelseries Ikari Laser Gaming Mouse Review:

    "In cooperation with professional gamers, Steelseries created an overall very good gaming mouse which can be used for office purposes and shows off all its abilities in Fist Person Shooters. Very practical is the fact that with the integrated onboard memory the mouse, even with already specially programmed buttons, can be plugged into every computer without the need to install a driver."

  • TestSeek: Logitech Performance Mouse MX Review:

    "Weak points? I really can’t think of much. But one should remember that we are all different and some of you may not like the design or the ergonomics. This is quite a big mouse which might be a problem to some. It fitted my big hands greatly though. Doubtless, Logitech has yet again put out an innovative and high quality product with great features and ergonomics.

    The quality and feel of the used materials and the construction of the mouse seems very good. The charging options are also outstanding as well as the USB receiver.

    Perhaps the unique thing that I have to put on the negative side is its rather staggering price at around $100 (90Euros). But of course, it is a high end mouse directed towards people who accept nothing but the best."

  • TweakTown: Cooler Master Storm Sentinel Advance Review:

    "Options galore and a great price is what Cooler Master brings to the table. As the image at the top shows, not only does the OLED show what the current DPI setting is, but allows via software to even add a 32 X 32 pixel image as a gamer tag, or in this case the TweakTown logo. With most of the functions a click away and with such an easy and user friendly driver package, I can’t see where Cooler Master went wrong with this introduction. A proposed asking price of just under $70 is just icing on the cake. While the Tactics DC is in fact a very nice gaming surface, it isn’t really needed as the Storm Sentinel Advance works well on any surface you happen to be using. For the complete package, I do recommend the DC pad, as I did find the Sentinel more accurate with it than with other surfaces I tried. I will say this, when my MX-518 dies I am replacing it for my second computer with another Cooler Master Storm Sentinel Advance mouse."
