The post Sharkoon Light² 180 Mouse Review first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
It's been a while since we last reviewed a product from Sharkoon, but that changes today with our look at the Light2 180. Following in the footsteps of the successful Light200 we reviewed last year, the Light180 offers a symmetrical shape reminiscent of the Zowie S2, in a package that weighs just 63g. It is also very competitively priced at £35 here in the UK, making it well worth closer inspection…

Aside from the obvious difference in the shape, the Sharkoon Light180 is pretty similar to the Light200 on paper. It offers the same swappable top shell, giving users a choice of a solid or perforated panel, while the RGB implementation appears to be consistent across both mice too. Unlike the Light2 200 though, the Light180 comes equipped with PixArt's PMW 3360 optical sensor, offering a maximum DPI of 12000.

If you follow the latest trends across the gaming peripheral industry, you will be familiar with the concept of ultra lightweight gaming mice.

The post Glorious Model O- Mouse Review first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
There's no denying that ultra-lightweight mice are becoming more and more popular, and this trend has led to a variety of manufacturers trying to cut as much weight as possible from their peripherals. Glorious PC Gaming Race, known as just ‘Glorious', was one of the first to get on board with this trend, following in the footsteps of Finalmouse and the original Ultralight. Today, we review the Model O-, weighing in at just 58 grams.

As the smaller brother to the Model O, the Glorious Model O- is immediately recognisable as an ultra-lightweight mouse thanks to the copious amount of hexagonal holes cut into the top and underside of the shell. Available in two colours – black or white – as well as two different finishes – matte or glossy – the Model O- also sports RGB lighting, an ‘ultra-flexible Ascended Cord' and the PixArt PMW 3360 sensor. Just how good is this mouse?
