![]() Etekcity Gaming Mouse Full Line OfIn a very full line of products that they offer, you will find this mouse that we are about to get up close and personal with here in just a moment.
What we were told upon receiving a few samples from them is that they are geared to sell products designed to gamers with most of the bells and whistles we have all become very used to in the last few years of mouse development. The thing is, that while they are even opting to offer high-end components included with their products, what will amaze you is the fact that Etekcity is able to offer us something worth our time to have a look at for less than a twenty dollar bill. Considering that top end gaming mice are in the realm of 80 or more, our eyes should not be the only ones widening here. Today, we are having a go with the Etekcity Scroll X1 (also known as the M555). This mouse is designed for claw or relaxed grip users, which we fall into the latter category, so this mouse should play right into our wheelhouse. While we dont have a previous history with Etekcity, sometimes that is a good thing as we can go in eyes wide open and see just what they are offering. ![]() It will work with any USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port on your motherboard or laptop, and affords five feet of cable to get comfortable with on your desk. We see the DPI is adjustable, but only in the preset increments of 800, 1600, and 2400 DPI as it max. It weighs in at only 180 grams, comes with seven programmable buttons, and even offers polling rate adjustments in four stages, from 125Hz to 1000Hz. We are given the dimensions of 129mm from nose to tail, 72mm of width, and at its highest point, it stands 40mm tall. What we dont see, however, is that there is no mention of materials of components. The mouse is made of plastic, but the Scroll X1 even has a sleeved cable on it, terminating in a gold plated USB 2.0 connection. Inside, you will find the main switches backed by Omron switches, and the secondaries, Etekcity went with Huano switches. There is no mention of the use of the Avago ADNS A5050 optical sensor to track your movements. Etekcity Gaming Mouse Software To CustomizeWhile there is a mention of the CD and drivers, there is no mention made about the fact that this mouse even goes as far to offer software to customize beyond the default options, and over multiple profiles. We do know that looking for an Etekcity product, such as this Scroll X1 mouse, leads you to one of four options to buy one. Etekcity Gaming Mouse Free Shipping IncludedYou can buy them direct from Etekcity at the price of 13.98 with free shipping included for starters. You can also find this mouse listed at Amazon for 14.98, but it does not surpass the 35 minimum for free shipping. The last of the options is to venture over to eBay to try your luck there with various pricing, or as the last resort, you can leave the solitude of your house and venture over to Walmart and pick this up off the shelf for 14.98 as well, of course state taxes do apply then and will add to the total price. So, for less than a twenty dollar note, you can have what all other companies are offering in some form or another, just that this time, you are able to do it for half the price (if not more) than most of those other solutions.
