Zalman ZM-M401R USB Optical Gaming Mouse : Acceptable.

I’ve had two of these in my lifetime. I purchased this as an accessory when i ordered a custom-made chillblast pc. It is comfortable in my hand, reliable on multiple different surfaces and very durable. When it’s first sadly expired (due to a reason in no way related to the quality of the product, i must emphasise), i was so content with the product that i felt bound to get the same item again. Twinned with the zalman keyboard of the same set, they have both served me well during the time i’ve been using them for both gaming and general workstation use.

Good coloursgreat designdrops out sometimes when i put other usb devices in pc???flat design.

Pros:the mouse is coated in a great material – it’s matte, non-slippery and the hand doesn’t stick to it, nor does it leave any residue behind. The side buttons are well placed, it’s not hard to push them, however they are a bit too far up front for my liking – but then again i do have a rather short thumb. My small and ring fingers are able to rest comfortably on the mouse’s side. The cable is woven and sufficiently long. Finally, i really like the colours of the lights (which are changing according to the dpi chosen via a dedicated button). Cons:it’s rather on the light side (though this might be a pro for some). The wheel is, in fact, rather wobbly, as some other reviewers said. ————overall a great mouse for the price.

Sturdy build quality, feels nice in the hand, very good value for money. Multiple dpi settings are really handy. Perhaps a little small for some hands, but not a problem for me.

Needed a mouse sharpish as my trusty gaming mouse became faulty. After looking around for a decent yet fairly cheap alternative i ended up taking a punt on this zalman mouse for the purpose of gaming mainly, bearing in mind that for the price i wasn’t expecting anything fancy, just serviceable. Well after about a week of use so far, i have come to the conclusion that this is a decent enough mouse in that it is sturdy, with a well built cable (a weak cable was the problem with my previous mouse fyi), and has decent enough button placement with little to no creaks or wobbles, apart from the wheel which does have alot of lateral movement but doesn’t affect it’s use. I wouldn’t recommend this product however simply because for me, it is a little too small for my hand. I am able to place my hand over the mouse and it barely feels like i’m making contact, and this just ends up being uncomfortable. I much prefer a mouse to fill my hand rather than hide away from it, so to speak. This together with the fact that i find the right-hand side of the mouse lacking in grip means it tends to slip away from my fingers when trying to move the mouse about. It works fine other than that though, and would probably suit alot of people fine but it’s made me realize how much i miss my old mouse, to the point that i’ve already decided to re-buy what i had before as i’m finding it too difficult to adapt. A mouse for the smaller hand then i suppose.

Bought mine 2 years ago, still has had no issues. Great mouse, good weight not to heavy not to light, mouse wheel requires a bit of pressure to click (you will get used to it) and no accidental clicking which is good. Good for palm grippers and leftys and rightys. Side buttons are easy to click and rubberised material (everything on the top of this mouse including actual surface is rubber none slip coated which is very handy) so don’t spend like £50 on a mouse. Only if you’re one of them people who use like 3000dpi+ or need 10 other buttons on the mouse, get this. 10/10 would buy another one.
