Speaking of the software, MasterPlus is a neat little bit of software that supports most of Cooler Master’s ecosystem, from their RGB controllers to their more recent peripherals. Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply.

These state-of-the-art babies use optical components to give you near-instantaneous actuation - with input that registers nearly three times faster than those from mechanical switches. They also appreciate the light weight and the fact that it has no issues with acceleration or faults at speed. As for inputs, I found all of the buttons, both primary and secondary, to be placed in a reachable place, yet away enough to avoid accidental presses. A minor suggestion to the Cooler Master MasterPlus+ team is to include a dropdown for mouse profile selection not only here in the macro section, but in the different sections of MasterPlus+.

Engineered in-house and composed of durable yet lightweight fiber, the cable doesn’t pull your way through the map, and doesn’t make precision aiming a pain. While there were prior reports of wireless issues, I was not able to observe any since using the updated firmware.

Cooler Master advertises the battery life on the Cooler Master MM731 is up to 190 hours connected via Bluetooth with LED lighting off and up to 72 hours connected with its USB receiver with LED lighting off. However, please keep in mind that said variance will still differ from unit to unit, so your mileage may vary. I wish it was behind the scroll wheel like most mice, but I guess some sacrifices had to be made to achieve this level of weightlessness. It doesn’t matter if you’re a student on a tight budget, a graphic designer that’s brand new to building, or a veteran modder of high-end gaming PCs; we offer components to inspire creative freedom in everyone. I really like the classic Intellimouse-inspired shape that Cooler Master went with for the MM530/ MM531, and there was no chance on Earth — or any mythical place in existence — that I was going to give up the chance to experience a similar ergonomic shape, but now lighter and wireless.It has a comfortable, right-handed shape suitable for all grip types, and you can program all buttons using the customization software. I personally game and work with the Cooler Master MM731 set at 1700 DPI, which is perfectly accurate without jitter, acceleration or angle snapping. The larger pill shaped button right under the serial number is the DPI switch, giving you the ability to switch between a total of seven customizable preset sensitivities.
