Genius DeathTaker Mouse Review

Conclusions

The DeathTaker is a good MMORPG/RTS gaming-grade mouse that can also play RTS games, but for that it would have to have a bigger resolution setting. It’s a comfortable mouse, but its peculiar grip and medium-size body may put off players with big hands. The buttons are well-located. The magnetic cover is an ingenious solution to the weight adjustment compartment, just like its location on the lower back of the mouse. The design has a very dubious taste (visually polluted with too many logos and texts; three different coatings), and it goes against the trend of a sleeker and more discreet peripheral.
