HEXUS Community Review Sept 2018 - Would you like to review a SteelSeries mouse?

[Ttaskmaster]

Right, who wants to review these mice ?

I'd love to help... but I don't need a new one at all, am not struggling to justify buying any (even if I can't actually afford them), and don't even have sad tales to tell of awful mice - I've always chosen mine rather well and been very happy with all of them.

I look forward to the reviews, though!

LOL,I thought my one was not bad(due to the selectable lighting),but yours has twin lasers.

Lol, it really really does

[Smudger]

I'd like to complain about the pornography in Post 12.

Calling the mouse 'her', then showing it's underside? Unacceptable.

Won't someone think of the children?

You're lucky I didn't show her wireless.

I don't want to review the mouse, as I've already reviewed it elsewhere, but I'd like to point out that a 1-week window to review something like a gaming mouse isn't very fair, in my opinion. That may well be long enough for a professional reviewer who can dedicate 5-10 hours of their working day to testing out a mouse, but you can't get a good feel for something and a fair assessment within 7 days of normal usage.

Give them a fortnight at least

A fortnight or a fortnite?

If they're actively looking for people that currently have an old and grotty mouse I'd imagine it'll be a massive improvement regardless.

I have an old Razer Mamba 2012 edition, the battery hasn't worked for 3 years so it is no longer wireless and my son thinks it's funny to detach it from the charging cable and hide it.

I can't post a picture of it as the little bleeder can't remember where he bloody well hid it, this was about 3 weeks ago so I am using my laptop mouse, that being a little T630

I am 6'2 and have huge hands so my gaming is on hold pending finding my mouse, send me this and you can have a review from me and my 8 year old daughter who also uses my PC

[Spud1]

I'd be more than happy to review one for you guys, but like many I don't have a real need to replace my mouse - it's more of a desire

I've been slowly shifting my equipment from Razor over the Steelseries and the mouse is the one of the last things to go...(keyboard is on the way!). Mostly as they really impressed me with the Arctis Pro Wireless and that inspired me to make the switch. Plus it's nicer when everything RGB is controlled by the same controller

BUT I can't justify to myself spending £50 on a new mouse now. I'll happily spend hundreds on a GPU or a case, but for some reason my mind doesn't want me to replace my 7 year old Razor mouse.

On a side note I am mildly impressed that any razor product has survived 7 years near daily use without falling to bits!

thank you guys for your intuitive input

I'll work on this today.

I'm going to take our firend Hoonigan's words of wisdom and extend the timescale out to two weeks for the reviews to be complete. What I think would work well is an inital impressions post, followed by a more thorough review. Photos will be great if possible too.

I will create a new thread for the actual reviews

Woohoo! Fame at last. Like the idea of initial thoughts and a followup too.

Also as a DPO kudos for attaching your privacy policy to the post.

Its a work day, I can't spend all day chatting with you guys you know

I'll do a PM.

If you want pictures, is there still a really low limit on what I can upload on here? I don't like cross linking from other sites.

Edit: Yep, looks like I am 760KB used out of 1MB. JPEG artifacts here we come

[peterb]

I really don't have a use for a new mouse - certainly not one like the steel series.

I prefer trackpads or trackballs.

Otherwise I'd happily do a review, but I think others could make better use of its capabilities than I would.
