Cooler Master MM310 Wire Gaming Mouse Black, Adjustable 12,000 DPI, Palm|Claw Grip, PixArt Optical Sensor, Ultraweave Cable, PTFE Feet, RGB Lighting ((MM-310-KKOL1)

Great mouse. Honestly CoolerMaster mice have surprised me. I have had some other higher end brands (so they advertise anyway) and this one really just feels great all around, performs great, and works well.I highly recommend this wireless mouse to anyone looking for a good solid gaming mouse. The MasterPlus software (not required to use the mouse but is required to adjust settings) works well also. My mouse needed a firmware update out of the box.I've used the G305 wireless, and the Razer Orochi as comparisons. I prefer this one. Also the price on this one beats the others (if on sale, definitely). The G305 is comparable, however does not have option to use Bluetooth if you want to do that, or if you say, lose the adapter or something. It's a brick without the adapter. I had an adapter fail on mine and that ruined it.Anyway, great mouse. Really like it.

I have been looking for a good mouse literally for decades. Like choosing a keyboard, choosing the right mouse is very subjective. With a few exceptions, the vast majority of mice produced in the past 20 years have been marketed as a “Gaming Mouse.” Usually this means they are manufactured as lightweight as possible, using molds that use as little plastic as possible. Usually this means most mice are less than 70 grams. Far to light for my hands. I need something that has some weight to it.Modern mice are also designed with buttons that have very light activation force which causes a hair trigger response that will false click if you just look at them wrong, and of course they are covered in LED’s! It is impossible to actually rest your fingers on the mouse buttons without clicking them. Most also try and incorporate as many extra buttons as possible, and the positioning of these extra buttons leaves no space to rest my fingers without causing false clicks. These features are apparently designed for “E-Sports” gaming, as they supposedly improve speed and accuracy. I have been a gamer for well over 40 years and these “features” do the exact opposite for me!For me, this also makes most of these mice very difficult to use in other software. I have been through numerous varieties of Logitech, SteelSeries, Corsair, Razor, Microsoft and several other brands, all have been a disappointment for one reason or another. The Cooler Master MM310 is as good a mouse as I have found in years, though it does have several of the features mentioned above.I learned how to type on a TRS-80, and stepped up to a IBM Model M a few years later, so my fingers require feedback when I do anything on a computer. One of my biggest issues with mice, especially over the past decade has been switch response and feel. The switches under the buttons on this mouse are Kailh GM 4.0 (60 M), they are still to light for my preference, but they give much better feedback than anything else I have felt for years on a mouse.The mouse wheel encoder is mechanical and gives a good click feedback response. It is acceptable, but again, my personal preference would be for a more solid click feedback. The rubberized coating on the wheel feels quite good. Hopefully that will hold up better than the rubber coating on my previous mouse, a BenQ Zowie S2, that started to degrade after a couple of years and I had to completely replace the mouse wheel using an older Cooler Master mouse as a donor.The optical sensor is nothing special, but preforms quite well with good accuracy. I do also really like the cloth mouse cord, it doesn’t interfere with mouse movement at all. The side buttons on this mouse are well designed and leave plenty of space for my thumb to rest comfortably without accidentally causing an unintended click. I have only had the mouse a few days, so I can’t really speak to build quality, but so far everything seems to be well designed, with one major exception!There are 3 screws that hold the mouse shells together, the first two are easy to find as they are hidden under the back two glides. There is no screw under the front glide, so don’t bother taking that one off! The third is much more tricky to find and I came close to destroying the mouse just trying to take it apart! The third screw is located between the glides at the very back of the mouse under the paper label that covers the holes for the weight reduction on the bottom of the mouse! You can not feel it with your fingers as the holes disguise it. Why manufactures insist on hiding screws is really quite beyond me. I do understand their reasons behind it, I simply disagree with their reasoning completely!There are multiple reasons why mice shells need to be easily disassembled. Dust and debris will still build up inside a mouse and it does need to be cleaned from time to time. The scroll wheel is especially susceptible to this! In my case, I have a set of weights that I saved from an old mouse and I hot glued those into the body to add weight to the mouse. Because I had to remove the glides and punch a screw driver through the paper label, I had to replace the glides and remove the torn parts of the label to make the mouse actually usable for me. I knocked a star off of the review for this inconvenience! If you are looking for a good cheap mouse, it is tough to do better than $18 for this one!

I was looking for a wireless mouse that was lightweight and gaming capable. I needed it to be very lightweight due to hand pain (I've tried things like vertical mouses etc and really lightweight mouses are the only thing that helps). I also have two desktops so I wanted to be able to quickly switch between the two with one mouse. This works perfectly and I've been using it for a year now. Battery lasts a long time too and you can plug it in if you need to use it when the battery is low.

- Fingertip grip, 90% wrist aimer- DPI around 1800-2200 depending on mouse- Lenovo Legion mouse pad- Current mouse: MM710, gloss black coatingDespite it’s bad build quality, my MM710 is easily my favorite mouse of all time, so the idea of getting a wireless version of that mouse with optical switches made me very excited. Unfortunately, Cooler Master has made a product that appears to be an across the board upgrade on paper, but in hand is actually worse in almost every way.Positives- The build quality is a MASSIVE leap over the MM710 and easily competes with the likes of Logitech or Razer while costing much less.- The weight balance of the mouse feels great. Doesn’t feel front or back heavy at all to me.- When waking from sleep, the mouse connects almost instantly. Some wireless mice have issues with this and I appreciate that this one doesn’t.- USB C connection. I know it’s becoming the standard, but it’s always nice to see.- The main clicks aren’t as mushy as the MM710. They’re much more solid and snappy.Negatives- The coating is not nearly as grippy as the glossy coating on my MM710. It’s difficult for me to maintain a solid grip on the mouse, which means I’m constantly having to adjust my fingers in order to keep control.- While most people are praising the removal of holes, I actually used the holes on the sides of the mouse to help anchor my fingers, especially my pinky. This meant that I didn’t have to exert a lot of force on my fingers to keep them in place. With the solid sides, however, I have to use more force, which causes pain in my wrist in shoulders.- Every button on the mouse is harder to click than on the MM710. It’s especially bad with the side buttons and the middle mouse click. The MM710 allows me to essentially “roll” my finger or thumb over these buttons to press them, which makes it easy to quickly use them while maintaining a solid grip. The buttons on the MM712 require so much more force that I have to take my finger off the mouse and solidly press the button. This often results in an uncomfortable shift in my grip that forces me to readjust.- The RGB is pointless and only adds weight to the mouse without any real benefit to the user.Overall, I’m disappointed in the mouse and will be returning it immediately.
