The eSPORTS Black doesn't glide quite as effortlessly as some mice like the SteelSeries Xai but when we consider the price difference, this is quite understandable. The rough surface of the Dominator gaming surface doesn't help matters; a finely woven cloth surface would probably be more appropriate for this mouse. We did try out the Dominator with the Xai which we regard to be one of the smoothest gliding mice on the market and it was noticeably better.
Thermaltake have used a 4000 DPI Phillips centre for the eSPORTS Black mouse which is sure to whet the appetities of high-sensitivity gamers. This performed well throughout our tests, tracking accurately without any lapses. Unfortunately ThermalTake don't provide a configuration utility with the mouse which is something that we would expect to be included with any decent gaming mice these days. Instead we are only able to adjust sensitivity to one of four predefined levels – 400, 800, 2000 or 4000 DPI. For such a high-resolution mouse, we would usually expect at least eight predefined levels if not more.
If its around £30 as you say Henry then thats going to be a good solid deal.
Really good to see all the thermaltake reviews here, they are always so competivtely priced. frio, contact29, armor cases etc. Apart from the LEvel 10 of course :p
This seems a good purchase, like the design too
The design is great and if the price is half that of a steelseries it will sell well, even if its not quite as good.
I like the looks of this. nice product again.
Great design and shape. impressed you managed to get a camera to take a picture through your hand too :p
I really like this product, the shape is very appealing to me. Is it well made though? I bought a cheaper mouse last year and the cord all frayed 🙁
Thermaltake are really improving their reputation and I think some of it is due to KitGuru helping to do really good reviews of their products. The photos are always so good here too so you can tell the chassis materials and quality. This looks like a hell of a deal if they get it sold for 30-35 quid.
Any solid release date yet and this new range from them looks really impressive.
great review – styling looks awesome
I am buying this when it is released. A full weight system for this price is incredible. it looks REALLY GOOD
I bought a frio, and an armorcase going on reviews on this site and you didnt let me down. for this price I am in the list for one of this on preorder.
normally I would say ‘thermaltake take over kitguru’ but the products reviewed this weekend are brilliant. Now I need to make a forum account to win that Level 10 case !
im only just after buying a new logitech mouse, but id buy this if I hadnt just spent money already. Looks like a quality piece of kit.
Nice review and very tempting product. I am tempted but need to work out if the build is up to stratch.
I want to say a BIG thanks to Kitguru for all the focus on thermaltake lately. they get overlooked and their products are SO WELL PRICED (no, i dont mean Level 10). They offer a great alternative to logitech and steelseries and razer. I am buying this for myself when its available.
£32 would be amazing, if they manage it, but I think UK will get it for £40. its never a straight price conversion here 🙁
I dont know, sometimes the pricing can be good here and sometimes its not (apple are known to rip off UKers for instance). I would say £35 would be a good price point to ensure high sales like the contact 29 and frio have received.
The materials look very high quality. is the cord tough Henry? Those are the first things to fail for me if I dont spend a lot of money getting one with braided line.
Well worth the price if they can get them sold for 30-40 quid. most high end gaming mice are 70-80 quid now.
The pad has really caught my eye, more than the mouse. Shall invest when available.
This is a great value product, lets hope its not 60 when it hits UK like some companies do. 40 would mean a must buy imo.
