Tt eSports Level 10 M Mouse Review

Playing with the Level 10 M

At first, the stylish design of the Level 10 M is a bit intimidating. It immediately begs the question: Is the mouse comfortable? Well, we’ll start with the weight. With an all-aluminum body, the mouse weighs 6.5 oz (185 g), so the lack of a weight adjustment system is justifiable. With a hollowed-out structure, however, the peripheral is light under the hand, and the high resolution means the mouse doesn’t need to be dragged around too muc

As for comfort, the Level 10 M doesn’t have rubberized niches for the thumb and pinkie. These fingers have to rest on the metal ridges of both sides if the user is a palm-gripper. If he or she is a claw-gripper, that design quirk won’t affect him or her much, but the Level 10 M could also have had a length adjustment to better suit users with short fingers since it’s a long peripheral.

Most of the buttons are very precise, but the C button (near the right side tip) is a bit difficult to hit, especially for the ring finger. On the other hand, the Z button is extremely sensitive. Our thumbs hit it by accident one time too many in the heat of combat. The concept behind it is great – a mouse button that functions just like an analog stick on a videogame controller does – but the location makes it vulnerable to being hit by mistake. The scroll wheel is amazing, one of the best we’ve tested so far, but unfortunately, it doesn’t scroll horizontally.

In terms of performance, we have no complaints about the Level 10 M. The user is free to select the four stages of sensitivity better suited to his or her gaming style. As always, we suggest a lower resolution for a more accurate aim, and a higher resolution when selecting multiple units or enemies when playing RTS or MMORPGs. The Z button made the dpi and profile change quick and intuitive, but the location problem remained.
