Ozone Neon Precision Laser Gaming Mouse Review

Performance

Setting up the Neon is as simple as plug and play, but to get the full benefits of this mouse you’re going to want to install the included software (or download it from the manufacturer’s website). The software is really easy to use and the first page gives you access to independent X and Y DPI sensitivity, as well as your DPI speeds over four toggleable mode. You can also configure each of the 8 mouse buttons, all of which can be set to up to five different profiles.

The system settings tab gives you control over double-click, pointer and scroll wheel speed.

Advanced settings give you control over the polling rate and on-to-go speed, although after some head scratching I am not sure what on-to-go speed does, so I’ll leave it at default (2ms).

The mouse comes with a build it in multi-colour LED indicator, with a colour per-profile and DPI setting to give you at-a-glance feedback on which settings you have applied.

The sensor on the Neon features no angle snapping or prediction, something that will no doubt please many gamers. At the four default DPI settings (800, 1800, 3500, 6400) the mouse is  pretty accurate, things do get a little jittery towards the maximum, but this is way further than most people use anyway, for quick turning in Battlefield 4 or other such games, that jitter won’t make a difference.

Being able to configure all the buttons and profiles it a big advantage, as it also means you can make use of the extra two side buttons for casting extra buffs while playing MMO’s, or even just as extra shortcut keys in programs like Photoshop. The ambidextrous design isn’t going to be needed by everyone, but it feels every bit as good as a dedicated left or right-handed mouse as you could hope for. The liftoff height doesn’t appear to be configurable, but it’s certainly less than 1mm at its default setting, perfect for those who enjoy using low DPI and a lift-off play style.
