It’s a flagship gaming mouse, packed full of premium-quality hardware and wireless technology, and that is reflected in the price. It’ll cost you around £115 on Amazon with free shipping, although stock seems to be very limited there. Scan also has it for £99 right now, they do charge for shipping separately.
That’s around the same price as the Razer Viper, SteelSeries Rival 650, Logitech G502, and a few others. They’re all well-proven gaming mice, and while I don’t think Thermaltake’s is any better than them, it’s arguably competitive with anything their competition has to offer. It really comes down to brand, style and the overall feel you prefer, which is pretty subjective.
Thermaltake set out to make ARGENT their more premium series to date, and they’ve absolutely nailed it. It’s easily the best mouse they’ve ever made, although I must admit I still love the whacky Level 10M with its funky analogue side buttons. However, where previous Thermaltake peripherals look very “gamer” and almost toy-like, this new one feels much more mature and stylish. I’d happily own it as a gamer, but you could drop this on your desk in a respectable office environment, and it would look right at home… assuming your set the RGB to a single colour and not a strobing rainbow.
It’s superb, and it’s easily one of the best-made mice I’ve handled. It feels heavy and overbuilt, and I really like that. You can really squeeze it and lean on it, and nothing squeaks or bends. Plus, with it being wireless, there’s an increased chance you’ll bat it onto the floor, or a cat will, and honestly, unless your desk was 20ft tall, it should survive a few hard knocks and bumps. Plus, the overall finish means that it doesn’t show fingerprints and doesn’t really scratch or scuff.
It really is the sum of its parts, with premium quality switches from Omron, rated at 50M clicks. There’s a high-end optical sensor from the well-respected PixArt, delivering very competitive customisation options and pixel perfect tracking. You really can’t find anything to fault there. Throw in a range of connectivity options, and it’s really up to you to decide how you want to play.
At £100+ it’s a big investment, but Thermaltake has what it takes to compete with any of the other big names and their respective flagship wireless gaming mice. What I love about the Argent M5 Wireless is just how stylish it looks and how comfortable it feels in my hand, actually, either hand since it’s ambidextrous. They haven’t overdone the design or overloaded it with too much RGB either, and I’d happily keep this as part of my own work and gaming setup.
