Originating from Thermalright in 2010, Leetgion is a new player to the peripherals game. Built to offer specialised performance, the company’s Hellion mouse is optimised for RTS gaming.
Sporting an Avago 9500 sensor capable of a DPI range from 100 to 5000, the Hellion is accurate and precisely-tracked, giving it the potential to be perfect for any type of game. A single Cherry MX Blue mechanical switch housed beneath the unique ‘Attack’ key can offer unparalleled durability and instantaneous feedback.
On-the-fly DPI switching, a 16.7 million colour LED strip and four pre-defined operating profiles, in addition to a single customisable variant, form the recipe for a successful gaming mouse. But has Leetgion put these enthusiast grade features to good use or is the Hellion a disappointment?
Specifications:
- Avago 9500 Laser Mouse Sensor (100 to 5000DPI)
- Four Made in Japan Omron Micro Switches
- Cherry MX Key Switch Attack Button
- Six Fully Programmable Hotkeys
- Four Custom Profiles sets
- Four distinct LED lighting cues, for indication of the current profile
- Customizable 16.7 million colour LED taillight for each profile
- On-The-Fly DPI Switching
I’m not sure if it’s mentioned, but it looks like the size is adjustable.
I like the lights around this mouse, especially the one on the lower back which looks like the bumper of a 1940’s sedan, but overall the contrast between shape (sharp vs round) is ugly.
Looks like a baby hammerhead coming out of its egg-case, or maybe just a slow snail trying to sprint.
Its a nice looking mouse, very different. Does it suffer from lag at all when gaming on a glass mouse mat?
It looks as if the bulbious shape would be comfortable in the hand, but its always hard to tell until you get your hands on it. That is hard as you have to buy it first.
