A Closer Look
The chrome effect is actually on the interior of the mouse, the outside is plastic not metal, but I think you’ll agree it’s still got a wonderful looking finish to it and it feels as smooth as glass too.
The shape is nicely ergonomic and tailored towards ambidextrous usage as it is symmetrical.
In terms of controls, there isn’t anything too fancy, two main switches (left and right), as well as a really nice quality scroll wheel.
The scroll wheel has a notched rubber grip to provide added control and the whole thing is heavily recessed into the both of the mouse so not to break up the sweeping design too much.
On the underside you can see there are three switches, the DPI switch allows you to change between 450 / 900 / 1800 / 3500 DPI, Polling can be switched to 125 / 250 / 500 /100 Khz and finally you have the “Color” switch, this is simple enough, an off / on toggle, or you can slide it further to the left to “lock in” which ever colour the mouse is set to at that time.
I had heard of iRocks a while ago but I’d completely forgotten about them but this rodent of theirs looks really funky. It looks a bit over the top for my taste but I like it nonetheless. If this is aimed at gamers I fear they may have missed a trick or two like back & forward buttons and on the fly dpi switching, having them underneath is not terribly convenient in game but I fear that may have ruined the fancy chrome job and chameleon effect. Maybe they’ll overcome that in future updates if this mouse proves to be successful. Way to go.
I really like the innovative use of lighting. Looks like a great mouse to have on ones desk. I cannot help thinking that this would be the perfect mouse to go with the IWIN Tou case. Now we just need a keyboard to match.
