First things first, I bought this mouse about an year ago and have been testing(a.k.a using) it quite a bit. I have used it for gaming, the witcher 3, they are billions being the main use cases. In fact, i have been using it for work too.

Of these uses, I felt that it is very versatile and can be used for gaming and work. Looks, feel and performance are what I will be talking about in this review entry and I hope to have gained enough know how on what to do with it.

Looks first:

The mouse is a big one. It has 6 buttons, including the wheel. It has good lighting options which can be modified with software available on their site. It uses a healthy dose of plastic, rubberized on the top grip and translucent for the lighting areas. Additionally, it has an aluminium exoskeleton kind of a structure which makes sure that the mouse has its shiny chromy exterior. It is a good crowd gatherer, if that’s a thing.

The feel:

Using the mouse gave me mixed feelings about it. It being slightly heavy made sure it doesn’t slip away. Feels quite good for the weight. However, extended gaming sessions can have a gym effect on your arm unless you are ergonomically qualified. The main left and right buttons are a bit mushy for my liking but they advertise it as being silent so I think that is fine. Oh yeah, it is really silent. Not like my G402 fury which beckons attention in clicks. This silence is exactly why I could used it at work.

When you think about gaming, specially upgrading from a non gaming laptop, budget is definitely a concern. Unless you have been using a serious pro type laptop (pardon my jargon, I am not sure what expensive laptops are called other than expensive), you will think about the next laptop to be up-gradable and not too heavy on the pocket.

Enter budget gaming laptop. Many lightweight ones sport the MX950, which is passable as being a mobile grade graphics chipset. Before the GTX series goes out of stock, the desktop grade graphics card, meaning it will eat your battery life and throw out awesomeness in terms of graphics quality,  is the Nvidia 1050. Which is also on the laptop I am reviewing after a lot of usage. There are other chips from AMD too but for the sake of this being a specific laptop review I will skip that part. (Vamspaz is all about gaming so rest assured there will be more articles on other cards too.)

This model in particular comes with a 1080p 15 inch TN display, meaning a wicked refresh rate with bad visibility. It has 2 USB 3.0 ports and one 2.0. One HDMI 2.0 port, one card reader and the usual Kensington lock.

Powering this is a 6 cell battery with an 8GB RAM and a 1TB HDD. I have upgraded this to a 16GB RAM and a 1 TB HDD+ 128 GB(OS drive) SSD configuration. Also, it has the above mentioned GTX1050.

Thats how I am known, I guess. I love games. The actual game, the software used to make it, the hardware it runs runs on and everything in between. Games let you do stuff in a safe environment which you usually cannot, and in some cases should not, do in the real world.

There is a lot of hard work involved in making games and selling them. I make games too, so I kinda know. I play a lot of RTS and some FPS. PC, mobile and PS4. No Xbox yet, sorry. A bit poor to buy two consoles. Vamspaz is aimed to bring the info on whats happening out there in the gaming world, including events, gameplays, reviews, hardware and all.

In the real world, drive safe, help whenever you can and avoid violence.

I dedicate this site to my love of games. Love for the makers. And love for the gamers.

Keep gaming!!!!!
