Blade Hawks Gaming Mouse Wired, [Chroma RGB Backlit] [7 Programmable Buttons] [6 DPI Adjustable], Ergonomic Optical Gaming Mice for PC, Computer, Laptop, Desktop, Windows- GM-X6

Features on this mouse are pretty basic, but they are all there. 6 Different dpi quick settings which can be changed by using the up and down buttons located directly below the scroll wheel. Has rgb lighting which is able to be edited in the driver software for the mouse It can do Static, Breath, Neon, and Finger Tapping lighting. Static is one solid color, breathing fades in and out of one solid color, Neon cycles through all the colors and finger tapping lights up whenever you press a switch. There is also a switch on the bottom of the mouse to disable the lighting all together if that's not your thing. I used this mouse in comparison to my corsair mg65 and razer deathadder chroma and wasn't expecting alot considering the price however after 8 hrs of overwatch gameplay I noticed my accuracy was just as good as with my corsair and this mouse fits my hand and play style better than the razer. The scroll wheel has a rubber coating that makes it easy to find and the slits across the left and right mouse buttons actually allow for a little more of a "grippy feel" That being said I would have liked some rubberized grip on the side as there is a textured side but its not very aggressive and can be slick. Through the driver software for the blade hawks x6 you can adjust the dpi between 6 different presets and through a total range of 200dpi to 6000 dpi. This is useful for me as I mostly play fps titles like pubg and overwatch and I do actually switch my dpi on the fly when playing different characters or using different weapons. Overall for the price it is a solid mouse. I would still use my corsair mg65 over it however I like its fit and feel better than my razer deathadder chroma and rosewill ion20 and for 20 bucks its a solid option.

I have recently switched back to wired mice. I had exchanged the convenience of having no cables for that of random freezes, dead batteries and frustrating FPS games. I've learned my lesson and I am sticking with wired mice on my desktop. The very first thing I want to mention is the 6 FOOT (1.8 meters) cord. I wish I had such length in the past. I might not have switched to wireless then. Those short cables really were frustating. They would get hooked and pull and was just not a good experience for me. This long cord solves that issue. I have plenty of cord to reach the desktop and a little extra that sits behind the monitors. Doesn't snag and doesn't get in the way of my cup. The second most important aspect of a mouse is the clicking. It's a good click. You're not smashing the buttons to register a click and at the same time you aren't accidentally double-clicking. I like that. The buttons on this Blade Hawks mouse look bigger than what I am use to but it actually relaxed my hand more. It's a good fit. The third thing I check is the mouse wheel. I rely heavily on my mouse wheel for scrolling between weapons or when I am working on the computer. The wheel on this mouse has rubber going around it with lips in the middle. Most mice are plastic with rubber just in the middle. I think this will work out better. 2 side buttons worked well right off the bat in windows and the DPI button change works as expected. The multiple LED lights is a cool added feature.

Visual 5/5: This mouse is beautiful. You could set it to be any color within the color spectrum, or set each DPI to a specific color and watch it transition as you cycle through DPIs with a click of a mouse button (my corsair keyboard is a dark red, and it matches perfectly). It also has an aggressive contour which I find appealing for a gaming mouse, and the blade hawk logo is a nice touch. Function 5/5: There is excellent response and accuracy at the 6000 DPI setting. I have no complaints in this department; compared to my prior Razer mouse, I notice no difference. Build Quality 5/5: The mouse has a nice weight to it, but not enough to impede movement during gaming sessions. We will have to see if this mouse will withstand the test of time and hours of gaming, but it appears solid after a few hours of use. The buttons and scroll wheels are responsive with solid clicks with each press. Value 5/5: Compared to other gaming mice (specifically the Razer, which I have used before), I find no significant difference in function, aesthetic, or build quality. At this price point, I think this is a definite must-recommend. Overall: Fantastic product. I would certainly recommend this mouse for someone who is looking for a quality gaming mouse (or graphic design, etc) at an affordable price.

The Basics: Up front, this review is not the norm for me because the manufacturer approached me, not the other way around. During testing I couldn’t help but consider how ballsy a move it was to provide me a copy for review, because I’m always going to find something to nitpick about and then I’m going to make it public knowledge. I know for a fact there are a lot of reviewers with lower standards that they could have approached and gotten the desired result, so both kudos and thanks are in order to Bladehawks. With that said, on to the review of the mouse. The “X6” is a medium-large mouse that handles more like a medium. It has an ATG-4090 sensor which is rated for 6000 DPI and 100 IPS max. The mouse sports soft-touch plastic all over, 10M Omrons, downloadable software and RGB. The Good: * The mouse is 100 grams without the cable, but manages to feel significantly lighter than it actually is. I had to reweigh a couple times because it is so rare that I am off by so much. I would have guessed not more than 95 grams. * Mouse feet are excellent, quiet, fast and smooth. One screw under each, but no internal weight to remove to make disassembly worth the while. * Liftoff distance is nice and low, which is very important given that the sensor position is so far aft. * Scroll wheel is the best I’ve encountered in the $20-30 price range, which is saying a lot since the G203 is excellent and inhabits the same space. The rubber coating is pleasantly cushy and provides good grip. Scroll resistance is light side of moderate. Middle click is nice and light and made better by the fact the scroll is both relatively wide and flat on top. Scroll steps are smooth yet tactile. In comparing the scroll to the overall gold standard of mouse wheels (The Roccat Kone Pure with its Titan Scroll wheel) I preferred the surface finish of the X6 and found the actual scrolling experience virtually indistinguishable from the Roccat, which has slightly more scroll resistance but the same definite feedback with each detent. The Roccat still maintains its status because I could make the X6’s scroll can rattle slightly if I scrolled upward really fast. Still, one of the best scrolls I’ve encountered. * Ergo in the thumb area ergo and patterning is very good with texturing and rubberized plastic that is fine for grip and should wear well too. I prefer rubber sides but did not miss them in this case. * Shape is not especially ergonomic, but nowhere in the realm of uncomfy for me, no issues with extended use in fingertip. * Very easy to pick up. Good for small-medium palm and possibly large palm depending on how tolerant they are of the scroll wheel placement. Good for medium and large fingertip grip. * Finger grooves are more subtle than they appear and I liked the texture on them. * Biggest positive surprise: Software is actually quite good! 50MB installed and highly reminiscent of Steelseries’ clean, intuitive interface in that it looks good and you can select top and profile views of the mouse when tinkering. The software makes changes as you do, no hitting save or apply. * The software offers the option of a “DPI loop” button. I set each of the 6 DPI steps to 2000 each and just used the aft DPI button to cycle between the different colors according to my mood without having to go into software. Nice little touch that I’d like to see more often from others. * DPI buttons are out of the way and the front one is not so far back as to be altogether useless in game. Also, DPI buttons do not rattle and have a quiet crisp click without pretravel issues - they feel good. * Software offers option for up to six different profiles, separate X and Y axis sensitivities along with a nice macro recorder, also nice touches. * The DPI range is 200 to 6000 in steps of 100, lots of easy choices in there without being limited like the 3320, 3325 and older 3050/3090 sensor variants. * RGB has very good color depth, brightness and excellent transitions. It’s all “one zone, one color” stuff, but it works well. The entire top shell of the mouse and the “rim” between the bottom and top sections glows. Unlike the Redragon M719, BladeHawks did not skimp on the LED quality. Color effect options are static, breathing, “neon” (which is color cycling of 3-15 seconds per color) and “finger tapping” which for the life of me, I can’t differentiate from basic color cycling. My initial guess was that it would change color a little bit with each click of the mouse...I’m still stumped. * Another thing which stumps me is the sensor. I haven’t tested a sensor of this type before and this one supposedly tracks up to 100 IPS. I had a very hard time making it spin out. Out of dozens of attempts, I got it to spin out once, and I’m not even 100% sure I kept the mouse flat while I was doing it, so it may not even count. I did not test the entire DPI range of the mouse though, so it is possible that the sensor spins out worse at different DPI and 100 IPS is the most conservative figure within the DPI range. Stumped. * I did not detect sensor accel on my 360 tests. I did not use software. If it is there, I didn’t notice it. **The Neutral:** * The 4090 sensor feels snappier than the 3325 but felt “choppy” somehow at faster swipe speeds. The cursor goes where you want it, but it feels like frames are lost in transit. Overall I’d put the 4090 on par with the 3325 and simply point out that it is its own animal. It is an apparently competent budget sensor, but nowhere near the smoothness of a 3360 or later. * No internal/adjustable weights. * Even though I took the mouse apart, it is comprised of three layers and I couldn’t figure out how to get the upper two separated. Result, I couldn’t verify the primary switches used. Primary clicks require moderate force but remain moderately spammable and responsive, registering around 62-65 grams on average and feeling very much like the G502’s, but slightly heavier with heavier feedback. It is possible to click the primary buttons as far back as the front DPI button, so that’s good. * There is a negligible amount of pretravel on the primary clicks as they are not separated from the shell - not a factor in game and fairly hard to pick up on outside a game. * Cable is somewhat stiff rubber ending in a gold USB. It is nowhere near Steelseries/Zowie, but significantly better than most others in the price range with minimal grab on cloth pads. * Position of the scroll wheel is more to the rear than most mice. I like it, but larger hands and palm grippers may feel like the mousewheel is too far aft. * The aesthetics of the GM-X6 are showy to say the least. In terms of looks, this is not my style. But even I have to admit that this mouse does a good job of doing what it sets out to do. The fact that it has so much surface area with such good color depth and light distribution do make it look more alive and powerful than the average mouse - so the X6 very much succeeds in doing what it sets out to do. * Advertised on Amazon as having a 500hz max polling rate-that is a slight putoff for a gaming mouse. The polling rate is actually 1000hz. The box advertises 6 colors - that is the number of presets that can be saved to a profile, but the mouse is actually fully RGB with the software. The marketing for this mouse falls short of its performance. **The Bad:** * Even though the packaging is nice, it has some Engrish to it: “Perfectly enhance game fighting capacity”...”freely play like human hands and mouse integration, will be the channel in your teal life and the virtual world, to experience the game of war, to fight side by side with you.” At least it’s some of the more inspiring Engrish I’ve seen and it takes nothing from the performance of the mouse. * Very slight rattle when shaken laterally. Could not identify source, even disassembled, not a major concern. * The way the fangs of M1/M2 move apart forward of the scroll wheel could frustrate people who want to palm the mouse while keeping their fingers close to the scroll since there is nothing there or they are left pressing the inner ledge of a button caused by the gap - however this should only apply to large palm in a certain grip. * Prone to mouse drop cursor movement, even with the low LOD. The cursor seems to move a bit more when setting the mouse down than other mice, probably due to the rearward sensor placement. It could just be the way I set the mouse down, but I only noticed when testing deliberately and after I didn’t notice it in-game. * Thumb buttons are placed well but they slope out a little too aggressively. You are almost better off pressing them from the bottom up at a 45 and directly inward at a 90. * Thumb buttons have fairly firm resistance but have significant pretravel. The firmness at least keeps them from feeling spongy, which is good. This was the biggest downside in what is actually good build quality overall and not major enough to be a huge detractor. * Because of the length of the rear end, I can’t recommend for claw grippers with anything less than very large hands due to having to click behind the scroll wheel in some cases. * The biggest con for this mouse for me is the general sense of confidence when aiming. In Quake I noticed that I had to work harder for typical results. Upon closer inspection, the cursor seemed more “jumpy” in game. When I went into the software to ensure angle snapping was off, I found there was no option to turn it on/off. This indicates an oversight in the software or that the sensor is hardwired to a setting. Tests in Paint seemed to confirm fears. Strangely, while play in Quake felt unstable, play in CSGO was good, possibly relating to the decreased verticality in that game. * My kids all want this mouse because it is easily the most colorful one in the house... **The Conclusion:** Interesting mouse with an interesting sensor from an interesting company. There is a “yellow light” in my mind is the apparent angle snapping which applies to the hard-core FPS crowd. Judging only by this single example of the sensor, I consider the 4090 sensor much snappier than the 3325 in every way with this exception, leaving the two sensors on roughly equal footing. The overall quality of the X6 was better than expected but the quality software was the most unexpected surprise. When I was approached to do the review, my first reaction was “sweet”... and then I saw the mouse. I lost some interest because it looked cheap and flashy. If I can’t see wanting to keep a mouse for myself, I don’t bother dropping a review for others. For all the flash, the X6 is a quality, well thought out product and I’ll be happy to keep it. Nit-Noid Rating: 8.4 Bang for Buck: B+

This product performed better than I expected. First I tried it out, then I had my sons try it out in their computer games. They love the varied speeds, and found that for typical web browsing , a slower speed is better, and for fighting during video games, a faster speed gives you the advantage. They also loved the color change for the speeds. The only thing they wish is that they could choose the color, rather than the color being pre-programmed for the speed setting...but you can't have it all...or maybe that will be the next upgrade!! All of us loved the ergonomic design, and the grips on the sides and front of the mouse. It was easy to install and has given us absolutely no functional issues so far. In fact, both of my sons now plan to purchase another with their allowance next week!!

This mouse is great. Its sleek design fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. Your hand will rest comfortably in all of the grooves carved into this piece of tech. The LED lights in the mouse can be easily switched between 6 different colors by simply pressing the +/- buttons on the top of the mouse. On the side by your thumb you have a "Page Back" and a "Page Forward" button that don't get in the way, but are placed for convenience. This mouse feels great. The buttons all have a satisfying click and it feels like a well made, durable product. Some other mouses might have more buttons for the hardcore gamer crowd, but this mouse is perfect without bogging down the product with too many options or features.

When I bought this device, I wasn't ordinarily looking for a wired mouse. However, through the search, I managed to find this. I do a lot of PC gaming and the last wireless mouse I bought had both a random delay, one of the buttons on the side broke into the mouse, and over time, the paint on the mouse was starting to chip off. I wanted to wait a while before I made a review to see how this one held up and so far, I have no complaints. The colors, unlike the other one are interchangeable and don't cycle automatically. I haven't tried programming the buttons yet, but it's just easier for me to map the MOUSE 4 and MOUSE 5 buttons to the game's controls as I'm playing it. I've also been using the MOUSE 4 or the "Page Forward" button as a "Push to Talk" option for gaming. It's comfortable, looks just as good as the day I bought it, and it's still fully functional three months later. The slit in the front allows the cable to be wrapped around at an angle, so that the attachment doesn't break as easily, which is an issue that I've had with other wired controllers.

One of the best gaming mice I have ever had or used before. I have small hands so this is perfect for me. The packaging was in perfect condition . I'm just so in love with this mouse, I cant even put it into words. I love the fact it changes colors so I can not get bored with it. Still learning it , mainly use it for my windows tablet and for doing searching and reviews are creating things. I couldn't figure out my right click on my table, hence the reason for the mouse. My nephew then showed me how to do the right click on the tablet, to late still using the mouse, lol. Anyways. This is just absolutely the best mouse I have .
