Tt eSports Level 10 M Mouse Review

Main Characteristics

The real breakthrough of the Level 10 M is the design mash-up of futuristic and industrial lines. The body is slightly ambidextrous; that is, with buttons on both sides and body tilting, it can be used by both right- and left-handed users. However, the two main buttons don’t have the same size, and the Z button is hard to control with the pinkie if the user is left-handed, so it’s wasted in that case.

Aesthetics aside, the Level 10 M follows the trends of the best gaming-grade mice on the market. It features a large number of adjustable functions, and it records macros and uses profiles on the 128 kiB internal memory, which means the user can trade computers without losing his or her preferences.

Everything is controlled by the Tt eSports’ software, which, unfortunately, doesn’t follow the same design of the mouse itself. It has an ugly and unfriendly interface. Once the user gets through the visual pollution, it’s easy to program the 11 buttons and even cancel the use of the lateral buttons, leaving only the two main buttons activated.

The user can choose four different resolution levels up to the 8,200 dpi limit. By default, the Level 10 M comes pre-defined with 800, 1,600, 3,200 and 5,000 dpi settings. Despite the confusing interface, macro recording is easy, and the user can even edit delays between keystrokes.

The software also controls the LED illumination on the tip of the main left button and on the Tt eSports symbol that lies beneath the hexagonal grid. Other adjustable functions are the X- and Y-axis sensitivity, the pointer speed, and the lift-off distance.
