UtechSmart Venus Gaming Mouse RGB Wired, 16400 DPI High Precision Laser Programmable MMO Computer Gaming Mice [IGNs Recommendation]

Mouse is absolutely amazing for the price, easily beats out R.A.T. brand mice or other over priced abominations. People here say the buttons are hard to press, that is far from true. They give you just barely enough resistance to confirm with your finger that it was press, easy to use. Has rapid fire button, which can be easily configured to do anything else. You can make macros on the software you get with your package, so you have absolute freedom to control your world with this mouse. The card itself is actually a USB drive, so you can have a fancy little software with you for any computer. Lighting is fantastic, although I wish it supported hex coding. You have multiple lighting modes and colors to choose from, so dont worry about that whatsoever. Goes well with any set. Battery life is as describes, long and heavy use for three days straight (more if you happen to have a life or sleep like some kind of healthy human.) Some people here complain it dies too quickly, they most likely forget to charge it. This is not civilian battery operated mouse, so it will not last weeks with power, it already tells you this. You can use the mouse either with or without a wire, although most likely you dont want to be wired so make sure you charge it when not in use, otherwise that is your fault and not the products. DPI is customizable! Rarely any mice let you control this amazing feature, and the mouse lets you have multiple profiles (modes of saved settings.) Being able to control your DPI directly means you can achieve the perfect mouse speed for yourself, make it easy to snipe that Heavy across the map giving sandwiches to a Spy before he can come out and backstab you in 2Fort for the seventh time. (Team Fortress 2 on Steam, the game is also free) The mouse is very comfortable to grip, leaves my hand feeling well rested even in heavy use. The design is to prevent slip, something that means it gets an odd texture on top to prevent your fingers from slipping off if you swear or so on. On top of this, the mouse is also nicely designed to have enough of its own weight to prevent slipping on the mousepad The accuracy of the scanner is competitive level t technology, the only person that can use great tech for good is you. Destroy the battlefield at the same rate and pace as the best gamers in the world. (Skill not included, please play good with mouse to use it for the absolute best of its ability.) If my review did not cover everything you need to know about this mouse then Im sorry but you probably cant read. Just kidding, I will provide any answers needed for this product, this is a mouse I stand firmly with. Do not spend money in anything else, it will be a disappointment, even if you dont want to use this for MMO.

My Razer Naga Pro stopped working just over 12 months old. The new version is close to $200.00. I read the reviews for the Utech and gave it a chance. Absolutely worth it for the price.

Very disappointed in this mouse. Worked well a handful of times and now no longer holds any charge at all. Not sure if this is a defect but the mouse does not charge at all anymore and Ive barely used it. UPDATE 6/6/2023: The seller reached out after my prior review and sent a brand-new mouse as a replacement. Customer service is excellent! I will be trying this one out over the next few months and will update if the same issue arises.

Honestly, the battery lasts forever, it can be used wirelessly or via USB. The software.... Works. And its got decent comfort and weight. Really, my only complaint is that the programmable buttons cant be programmed to use the mouse 3 and 4 buttons. (You know the traditional 2 side buttons). Instead, you need to program it to any other keyboard button. It just means you have to edit your games keyboard commands to reflect that. Otherwise, solid design, weighty, smooth, good button design and placement, versatile, gripy, and long lasting. I recommend.

This mouse works very well. Would buy again. I liked this mouse more than my Razor Naga.

UPDATE: UTechSmart reached out and provided a replacement at no cost to me shortly after I placed my original review. The issues I had previously were definitely due to an unfortunate faulty product. The replacement mouse lasted a week of solid use that my original could not have come close to. The issue I mentioned before about the #10 button being loose is also not a problem on the replacement. I am very happy with the level of support and the speed at which it was handled. I can now once again fully recommend this mouse and will be back in another (hopefully) 10 years to buy the latest model when this one finally gives out. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I ordered this mouse after 10 years of using the same mouse as a wired version. I thought it was going to be a great upgrade since I love the wired version which has not failed me. The software that is required to assign functions to each button is not as good as the one that works on the wired mouse. And the main issue is the battery does not last as long as advertised. I get a day and a half of light use max. Really defeats the purpose of having a wireless mouse if I constantly have to plug it in to keep it powered on. Last notable thing is that the #10 button on the side is very loose. It can wiggle side to side with little pressure.

Purchased this mouse and I have been very happy with both the product and the seller. a few months into owning it a small problem cropped up but the seller was very fast to make it right. Otherwise, I have to say that I find this mouse an almost indispensable tool for working, and not so much gaming. it is really nice to have variable DPI when working over several monitors, so you can increase/decrease the pointer sensitivity at the touch of a button. The main thing though is the bindability of the buttons. On buttons 1-12 I have: 1. ctrl + x (Cut) 2. ctrl + c (Copy) 3. ctrl + v (Paste) 4. Delete 5. ctrl + a (Select all) 6. Forward (browser function) 7. Back (browser function) 8. New Tab 9. (ctrl +z)Undo 10. (ctrl +y) Redo 11. Win+ Right (snap window right) 12. Win + Left (snap window left) Being able to perform ALL of those functions without having to lift my hand from the mouse has been a real quality of life improvement. It seems like a small thing, but it is a huge convenience when you are at work and perform each of these functions dozens, if not hundreds of times per day.

I have small hands and most mice (?) Ive used have been unwieldy for my hand. I have been looking for a fairly small mouse with at least 9 buttons and have tried a lot of them. I saw a review that said they had small hands and recommend this mouse so I decided to try it. It is completely perfect (for now, things may change over time). I received this mouse about a month ago and have been using it gaming and I love it. I also have a neurological problem that is sometimes worse on some days and adjusting the dpi to my daily needs is truly lovely. Its not as ergonomic as my vertical mouse, but it is definitely more useful. This is a must have mouse for any small handed person.

Ive used this mouse for years now. This first one started failing after 8 or 9 years so I got a replacement. For the money you pay, its a fantastic mouse. My only issue with it is its a little on the light side, but other than that no complaints.

I am modifying this review a few days after I posted it. I have zero problems with the mouse, but the company (not the manufacturer) selling it left a bad taste. A few days after receiving the mouse I got a card in the mail offering me $12 in Amazon credit to review the mouse, even if it was a negative review. I posted the review you see below. The company gave me $10 in credit and asked if I could remove the disclaimer about being paid to do the review. I told them that this was unethical and that they owed me $2. They pretty much immediately coughed up the additional $2, but again asked me to remove the disclaimer. I am happy with the mouse, but I have serious doubts about a seller who clearly gives zero effs about ethically running a business. In other words: maybe buy this mouse from a different seller. My original review follows: I have used this mouse for several weeks and Im very happy with it. When I first started using it I noticed that the textured surface has a lot of relief. On day two I actually thought the grainy texture might be annoying, but by day three I simply wasnt noticing it any longer. The surface is grainy, but the rubber is forgiving, so it has the texture but not the feel of sandpaper. I hold my mouse with many differing grips and I always feel like I have a good grip on this one. Some mice have an unusual shape that just doesnt feel right -- not so here. The very many buttons all work fine and feel solid. The main right and left click buttons are just a tiny bit easier to click than I would like -- I click them once in awhile while just resting my fingers on them. If I could make them 10% more stiff, I would. I have owned two other mice with similar button layouts, one of them made by Razer. I think I prefer this mouses setup/macro software to either of the others. I regularly use some complex macros, and I sometimes have to use middleware, like Autohotkey, to get my mouse to do what I want it to do. I have not had that issue here, so far. As for durability, I simply havent owned the mouse long enough to tell you that it will last for years and years, but if it does, this will be one of my favorite mice ever, and Im a former IT guy who has literally used hundreds of mice. This mouse gets an easy four stars, and if it doesnt fall apart in the next two years, I think it will earn five stars from me. Disclaimer: Amazon offered me a gift card to write a review for this mouse, but they did not stipulate that it had to be a positive review.
