X8-Gray Profession Gaming Mouse with Counterbalancing Irons, Gray

My first reaction to this new gaming mouse was that it is beautiful. It looks great in the listing photos but in person, it looks even better. The variety of quality materials with unique textures used to build this gaming mouse give it a super high-end look and feel.The connection of the mouse was “plug and play”. There is a disk in the box that I haven’t used yet. I probably should. It would probably teach me all of the options for the mouse and help me to tweak the settings. It worked so great right out of the box that I just haven’t taken the time to use it yet.I’m replacing a much more expensive gaming mouse with this LBATS gaming mouse. Because of that, I wasn’t expecting the LBATS to blow it away in terms of performance. Really, I would have been impressed if it had performed equally as well.I was so excited (would have to be a gamer to get the excitement lol) when the LBATS’ performed so much better than my other mouse. Sometimes an inexpensive mouse will be marketed as a “gaming mouse” and it will have a cool appearance with a unique shape, some lights, and extra bling. But that’s where it ends! Using it, you realize it’s all looks because there is no way it has the qualities that make it work well for gaming.The LBATS Professional Gaming Mouse performs in a way that makes it obvious that it was built for gamers by people who understand what a gaming mouse really needs to do. Some of the features that make this a superior gaming (or even a regular use mouse):* extra long cable (5.9 feet) is heavy duty, reinforced at the ends where plugs are attached for extra durability* ergonomic shape that makes using the mouse for extended periods of time comfortable, accommodates left or right handers, textured sides to give a sure grip* customizable counterbalancing irons. I love this feature! This lets you control the weight of the mouse. I like a heavier mouse for gaming because it gives me an added feeling of control. For other computer activities, a lighter mouse can be more comfortable to use.* customizable LED lights that are very cool but not so bright or overdone that they cause a distraction. They are also not bright enough cause disturbing light if the mouse is used in a room where someone is sleeping.* well placed customizable keys that aren’t easy to push accidentally but are effortless to reach and click when needed for fast action* adjustable DPI with a max of 4000 DPIThis gaming mouse is packaged in the way that other very high-end electronics are packaged – solid attractive box. It would present very well as a gift to someone who enjoys quality gaming peripherals.Ordering this LBATS gaming mouse, I was planning to give this as a gift. I wasn’t sure it could really compete with the gaming mouse I already have. I’ve been using it since it arrived and I like it way too much to give it away. We have bonded (lol) and it must stay with me now.

Mouse is comfortable and good weight. Honestly that's all it's really got going for it that's good though. It claims 1000 million clicks, or for all practical purposes infinity. This is simply not true, I use it for drawing software and am clicking a lot. Wearing out after 7-8 months is not ideal. It also feels like it's being broken when you click.

I really like this mouse, like, alot. It's my first step up to a gaming mouse in over five years, with my last mouse being an incredibly expensive MMO gaming mouse with the numpad on the side.This mouse feels almost perfect. The weight, the buttons on the side, the feel in your hand. It's customization options, from the technical (DPI, sensitivity, etc.) to the aesthetic (LED), are amazing. The "click" is perfect.HOWEVER, I have to say that the scroll wheel is pretty awful. Like, I'm honestly tempted to buy a new mouse due to the low quality of this scroll wheel. It's ridiculously out of whack. Sometimes when scrolling it won't detect a rotation or two, sometimes it detects more of a rotation than I actually did (this is annoying in shooters where the weapon swap is bound to the scroll wheel by default). I've found that putting pressure on the wheel helps /a little/, but still the inconsistency is always present and pretty annoying. This affects both regular browsing and gaming.

I am very pleased with how fast and easy to use this mouse is. I actually have a preference for a mouse with a cord as I tend to misplace things and fortunately am less likely to do so with a corded mouse. The cord is actually super long and doesn't get in the way or get tangled easily so it really is a perfect fit for me. It is really fast during usage and molds very well to my hand. I am very particular about mouses as my hands are very small and often times gaming mouses tend to be larger in size, but this one has a very sleek design and fits comfortably.

Three problems with this mouse:1) Scroll wheel makes a loud click every complete (360 degree) rotation..2) The sharp edges catch on my Perixx mouse pad (only used 4 months).3) This mouse is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Resets itself with the smallest amount of static shock. Previous mice didn't have issue at the same workstation. I try to ground myself each time before touching the mouse. Even so I end up resetting the mouse several times per day because of this.The top is also plastic and not aluminum.Not recommended for people who live in arid environments due to the static electricity issue.

So I replaced my etekcity wired mouse with the Lbats x8 mouse, and I have to say, its actually pretty good!What I like about this mouse is the features that it has, so on the left side, you have the g4-g6 feature, which basically you can do the back, forward, and highlight feature for non-gaming use, or for special features. I like the almost silent scrolling whenever you use it for daily use, or for gaming use. Now you can adjust the DPI for your mouse sensitivity to really high or really low.

Short and straight to the point. I order this to replace my broken mouse. The mouse itself has a very well built feel to it. Very pleased and works great! Definitely a mouse that will last!
