Appearance
The first thing you pay attention to after unpacking is the laconic design and pleasant finish. The usual set of buttons fits into the classic case, and the surface is made of soft-touch plastic, ergonomic and pleasant to the touch.
In the center there are three buttons for switching modes and a glowing bloody logo.
The side edges are made in the form of corrugated glossy plastic, for which it is convenient to hold the mouse. The thumb and ring finger sit comfortably on them.
In general, the mouse is suitable for owners of medium and large hands with a palm grip.
The scroll wheel is rubberized, and the side edges of the wheel are made of transparent plastic and are highlighted in three colors - red, yellow or green, depending on the selected operating mode.
The wheel works well and correctly, no failures were noticed. The feeling when using is pleasant.
Continuing to focus on ergonomics, I would like to note that the ease of sliding the mouse declared by the manufacturer due to the metal legs is really felt even at the first movement on the lacquered surface of the computer table.By the way, experienced gamers still recommend using gaming mouse pads, and the bloody series also has these.
HoleLESS sensor design “no holes”, works on PAW3305DK-H sensor manufactured by PixArt Imaging Inc.
