Bigbruin, Funky Kit, and ThinkComputers have reviewed the Arctic Cooling Arctic M571, a new low-priced laser gaming mouse with a 2400DPI sensor.

Here's what they had to say:

  • Bigbruin:

    "The Arctic Cooling Arctic M571 gaming mouse is a great entry level mouse for gamers. With the ability to set your preferred weight and with a conveniently located rapid fire button, gamers and enthusiasts will not be disappointed. The distinct curve and shape of the mouse's body should also keep your hand comfortable after hours of game play.

    As mentioned with the M551, at the highest DPI setting the Arctic M571 is very sensitive... almost too sensitive. Arctic Cooling realizes that DPI settings are not one size fit all, so they offer three settings covering a wide range of DPIs (800/1600/2400), and at least one of them should work for any user and their specific needs."

  • Funky Kit:

    "If you're after a low cost, budget gaming laser mouse that offers decent DPI settings that come with a weighted system, then the Arctic Cooling M571 Gaming Laser Mouse is worth considering. It's a good alternative to the standard mouse. As for professional gamers who are after more features, such as programmable buttons ... you might want to look elsewhere."

  • ThinkComputers:

    "The Arctic Cooling Arctic M571 is a solid mouse and very comfortable with the exception of the one issue I noticed with the scroll wheel. It is one of the most comfortable mice I have used, ranking up there with much more expensive ones form Logitech, Microsoft, and others. Unfortunately the scroll wheel issue is a major problem. While the wheel on the M551 was also a little off when scrolling (it would take 2 “clicks” to get moving) it was consistent and never jumped back on me."

Assuming the scroll wheel issue is not widespread, the M571 definitely seems like an excellent mouse for very little money ($30).
