EpicGear Morpha RGB Optical Gaming Mouse Review

Performance

The EpicGear Morpha is plug and play ready, making it tournament friendly, but if you want to tweak all of the advanced settings, then you’ll need the downloadable drivers and software. The software is a little garish to look at, but all the important settings are easily accessible from the main page. The DPI level can be tweaked from 30 all the way up to 20400; keep in mind the sensor isn’t that fast, it’s just boosted it via software to get that high.

I’m happy to see both angle snapping and acceleration are off by default, which should mean consistent performance from the sensor, but at least you have the option to turn them on if you really need them (does anyone though?).

Finally, we have a powerful macro recording system, which is perfect for using with the button customisation, giving you all the control you’re likely to ever need in-game. Just save all your settings to one of the five built-in profiles when you’re done and then go enjoy your favourite games!

We’ve been impressed by EpicGear’s sensor performance before, but the Morpha takes it to the next level. The optical sensor is absolutely flawless, giving silky smooth and consistent results all the way through the range, with virtually no jitter, no angle snapping, and no issues with acceleration. Basically, if you miss a headshot with this mouse, it was your fault.

Without a doubt, this is a very competent gaming mouse, and while it stands up with a perfect score in our sensor performance tests, it’s hardly lacking in other areas. This is a great looking mouse, and the ergonomics feel natural and easy to work with. I use a palm rest grip and the wider body and arched to provide a very comfortable fit in your palm, and the rubber side grips just give you that fingertip control when you need it.

The weight tuning system is a welcome bonus, and while you’re unlikely to swap them out every game, finding a balance that best suits your play style only takes a few minutes.

The RGB lighting is the last treat in store, and while it does give some customisation, it’s not too over the top, with only three small zones to light up. I don’t like too many lights on my mouse, as it’s distracting, so it’s nice to see the Morpha being a little more understated here.
