Tt eSPORTS decided to provide a software CD with the Theron mouse – a decision that is becoming increasingly rare amongst peripheral manufacturers.
The Theron software's main page provides access to all of the key user-definable setting sub-sections. Hovering above a specific button on the mouse's image informs you of its current function.
Main performance attributes can be edited and then assigned to a specific profile. 800, 1600, 3200 and 5000 DPI modes can be set via the software or specifically-assigned DPI adjustment buttons. For those of you that love to tinker with settings, DPI levels as low as 100 and as high as 5700 can be manually input into the user-definable scale.
A convenient on-screen indication appears when the adjustment buttons are used to switch DPI level.
Macros can be assigned, created and loaded in a specific sub-section of the mouse software.
7 different light options are present with the Theron gaming mouse. Tt eSPORTS provides a likeable ‘Battle' mode that dynamically adjusts the LED brightness dependent upon the clicking frequency.
3 LEDs located on the mouse's underside create an attractive glow that transmits to the surface below. A further 2 LEDs located in the scroll wheel and Tt eSPORTS logo help to enhance the Theron's aesthetic appeal.
Tt eSPORTS designed the Theron with ease-of-use and comfort ranked highly in its priorities list. Becoming accustomed to the mouse's shape wasn't an issue for me, as a palm grip user. Claw grippers with sizeable hands may require a greater time-span due to the curved rear edges on each side forcing one's ring and little fingers into a compressed orientation.
We wouldn't flag this up as a comfort issue, but a slight degree of adaptation is required for claw grip devotees.
General usage is an efficient process with the Tt eSPORTS Theron mouse. Convenience of the ‘backwards' and ‘forwards' side buttons' positioning makes them easily accessible to one's thumb, allowing the main ‘click' fingers to remain in their intended location.
The horseshoe-style pattern embossed onto the scroll wheel allows for a controllable grip to be achieved.
During gaming, the Theron provided a comfortable and desirable experience that was excellent for lengthy sessions. A design which features exaggerated curvature in the vicinity of Tt eSPORTS' ‘Dragon' logo promotes a comfortable palm-resting grip.
This grip is perfect for allowing your click fingers to rest while scrolling around the screen, but doesn't force them to lie too far away from the trigger or crucial input selector.
1600 DPI was our preferential setting for the majority of gaming environments, but there were times where we welcomed the increased sensitivity of the 3200 and 5000 settings. We did notice that during a heated bullet exchange or simulated battle, the DPI adjustment buttons were positioned just a little bit too far back to make them easily accessible.
Reaching for the DPI increase arrow required an almost complete retraction of our index finger whilst the decrease selector was out of range without physically moving our hand and partially terminating contact with the Theron mouse.
