Satechi Spectrum Mouse Wired Optical Mouse (Silver)

Screen Shot 2014-06-19 at 12.54.50 PMThe mouse feels sturdy and well made. It sits comfortably in your hand, and it’s overall pretty ergonomic. However, I personally prefer the larger bulkier computer mice – they give my hand a wider grip that is more comfortable for prolonged use.

The various LED light colors are really the most distinguishing feature of this mouse, and it’s probably the main reason why you would consider buying it in the first place. It’s a neat and flashy way of attracting attention and adding some color and vibrancy to your work environment. It would probably be the favorite option with the younger crowd, especially kids and teens. The LED light is pretty bright, and if you tend to leave your computer on overnight you might want to turn the mouse lights off – otherwise the light leakage might be seen across your home/office.

The mouse works pretty well. I’ve used it with two of my Mac computers and my Windows 8 PC. It performed very well with all of them, although the initial precision settings were bit on a high side. Nothing that a quick change of settings can’t fix though.

I really wish that this mouse were wireless. I have come to expect most of my peripherals to be untethered these days.
