I guess professional gamers know which mouse is best suited for competitive use. The usual suspects come from Logitech and Razer, which are, no doubt about it, renowned manufacturers. But there are some obscure brand names like Ideazon, not really known world wide, which provide good, if not some of the best gaming mice around. However, most of the times gamers will continue to stick to their favorite brands, even though obscure competition might have better mice in stock. That’s the case of Wolf King. I just heard of this manufacturer, but it looks like they have a pretty solid gaming mouse that has been weakly promoted.

The Wolf King Trooper Laser Gaming features a 2200DPI Ultra High Resolution Laser Engine that allows you to perform all sorts of lightning-fast maneuvers. This mouse provides all the now standard features that a respectable gaming mouse should include. Thus, you get driverless on the fly sensitivity adjustment selectable between 2200, 1600, and 800DPI. This allows you to easily switch from browsing and basic PC functionality to those sniping and precision settings required by FPS and strategy games.

Specifically built for FPS players, Trooper enables you to select your rate of fire at the touch of a button. Single, double, triple, and even four round burst per mouse click, again, with no special driver required.

Here are some more features:

• High speed USB2.0 connectivity
• Sleek ergonomic design for comfort and good looks
• Track wheel LED color indicates fire status
• LED DPI speed indicator

Reviews over the net claim that this mouse can’t really compare to Razer Lachesis and the Logitech gang, but I reckon it’s still pretty decent one you see it costs only $26.99.

After seeing that Gizmodo compares a Razer mouse with a SteelSeries (who?) one, I went ahead and checked out who the latter manufacturer is and found out that its laser mice are not that bad. SteelSeries’ latest model is the Ikari Laser.

SteelSeries claims that it has put 15 months of extensive research of ergonomics, technology, shape, motion, hand grip and play styles into their Ikari Laser mouse. It seems that SteelSeries has collaborated with professional players in order to come up with better shape, materials and specifications for the Ikari. Players from Team 3D, compLexity, mousesports, SK Gaming, Team NoA and other world-class gaming organizations provided valuable feedback for the Ikari model.

Ikari is practically made by gamers for gamers, featuring programmable macros for RTS and MMO games and a high precision sensor, especially suitable for FPS gamers. Ikari is also a completely driverless solution, which enables the mouse to remember settings and macros when plugged into tournament computers - without installing any drivers or software.

Here are some more specs:

- 40.000 samples per second (SPS) for unbeatable tracking
- 1 to 3.200 DPI (changeable in increments of 1)
- Built in LCD display (on the underside) to help set CPI values on-the-fly
- Chassis material and shape best suited for professional gaming

SteelSeries recommends a £60 price for the laser model.

I’m sure you’ve heard of Jonathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, the world’s top FPS gamer. Some renowned brand names even used his nickname on their best products in order to make them more iconic. Among these, Creative released a special X-Fi sound card and a laser mouse that bare the “Fatal1ty seal of quality.” Let’s see what Fatal1ty 2020 Mouse has to offer.

Besides being tested and approved by “Fatal1ty” himself, the 2020 mouse lets you customize your gaming experience on the fly with the ingenious G-Weight modular weight system. Each top loading, easy-to-access weight module or “caliber” is balanced to provide an optimized center of gravity.

It’s not the most accurate mouse around, but still, you get an HD-Laser engine which enables deadly accuracy in any game, especially in FPS ones. The RapidRes option coupled with the visual resolution scroll wheel takes full advantage of HD-Laser power, offering you instant switching between resolutions (400/800/1600/2000/2400 DPI).

In addition, this mouse comes with SpeedWire function, allowing for high performance gaming wired connections with gold plated USB plug and tangle-proof outer coating. It also incorporates genuine Teflon gaming mouse feet.

Last but not least, here’s what Fatal1ty had to say about the 2020 mouse:”I only put my name on the very best products. If you’re a serious gamer, you just have to get one of these!”

Maybe you weren’t too much impressed with the Reaper mouse. Clearly, that is some sort of entry-level gaming mouse and its price further confirms this statement. But Ideazon also offers a feature-packed mouse that could easily compete with the best laser mice around. Check out the Reaper Edge.

If you’re looking for precision, speed and accuracy, Reaper Edge won’t let you down. It sports a 3200 DPI laser sensor and it’s got a1ms response time thanks to the integrated full USB support. Couple this two features up and you got a mouse capable of 45 inch per second speeds, sustaining 20G acceleration.

Comfort is ensured by a sleek ergonomic design which comes in a snake skin flavor. The overall design reminds me of Logitech’s MX series with a thumb placement at the base. Additionally, you get upper and lower side thumb buttons, a rubberized anti-slip grip and a signature tire-traction rubber scroll wheel.

Taking a look at the customizable functions, we see the Reaper Edge integrating the usual goodies such as illuminated on-the-fly DPI switching which lets you choose between 800, 1200, 1600, 2000, 3200 DPI, 5 fully programmable buttons accompanied by a multi-profile management software and independent X- and Y-axis calibration.

For what it’s worth, the Reaper Edge has a great price. You can get it from Amazon for only $56.65.

I think we need a break from all those portable rodents. Accordingly, I went ahead and dug up an obscure brand name that offers gaming-grade mice, among other things. Here’s the Reaper Gaming Mouse from Ideazon.

I’ve never heard of this brand name up until now, but this mouse seems decent overall. It comes equipped with a 1600 DPI Optical Engin, so it can’t really compete with any Laser-based mice you’ve seen around. Idazon thought of a more striking appearance for this mouse and provided red LEDs with a sleek black on black finish.

The standard stuff includes the driverless On-The-Fly Sensitivity DPI Adjustment, so you can modify it instantaneously inside whatever game you are playing. It also comes with 6 reprogrammable buttons ( 3 side buttons) to enhance your gaming experience, especially the FPS games. The gold plated USB connecter isn’t something you see often with gaming-grade mice. This feature enables maximum conductivity to give you less latency and more frags, according to Ideazon. Hmmm, could a gold plated USB connector really compare to a Ultrapolling 1MHz engine?

Rounding up the features, the Reaper integrates genuine Teflon mouse feet which supply the smoothest possible slashes across surfaces to keep you on a killing spree. Amazon has this one for about $39.14.
