The box is probably one of the most stylish I've seen in quite some time and even though it actually is the inside that counts, it's always nice to have some eye candy on the test bench.

Inside the box we find, except the mouse itself, a users manual describing the functions of the mouse and also how very simple it is to install the mouse. In short, plug it in and use. We also find a pouch that you can use when you're on the move, perhaps to a LAN party or the like.

It's also perfect if you have a laptop to have a protective pouch for your mouse.




We can't find much more than that in the box, so let's take a look at the mouse itself.




The TT esports Black gaming mouse is, as the name says, black with a smooth finish and a Tt logo in the back of the topside. This logo is kind of grey-white and lights up red when connected to your computer.

Next to it is the DPI indicator which ranges from 400 all the way up to 4000 with a total of four steps 400 / 800 / 2000 / 4000. Together with increased max acceleration up to 50G, with a speed of 90 IPS (inches per second) and a stunning report rate over USB of 500 reports per second this mouse should be able to deliver some really nice gaming performance.

As said before, this mouse is easy to install as you don't need to install any software for extra buttons or for configuring the DPI level. DPI can be changed on the fly just behind the mouse wheel as on many other mice available on the market.

Apart from the DPI buttons there is a button under the mouse wheel which you can configure in Windows standard mouse dialog. I've ditched that button some years ago, but before that I used it as a double-click button. Perhaps the Black gaming mouse can take me back there, I don't know.

But that is not exactly all, as we have one button left. That is the “back” button on the left side of the mouse. We only have a back button and not a forward button which I think is kind of sad, but then again this is not a surf or all-round mouse, this is a gaming mouse.

However, missing out on macro buttons and the like is perhaps a miss if you're after them when playing MMORPG games. Luckily though, you still have your keyboard ;)

Furthermore if we take a look on the underside of the mouse, we find a plastic rectangle which might look like a place where you insert some batteries. But no, under this rectangle you find the ballast with a total extra weight of 25 grams.




So for speed and finesse, you might want to remove that extra weight to try and gain an advantage in first person shooter games. Perhaps you need the weight to make sure you feel every move, it's all up to you.

Finally, let's take a look at the braided cable which is 1.8 meters in length. Should be enough for most and thanks to the braided cable it makes sure you experience as little tangling as possible, which of course is essential to that 50-0 win situation in that latest FPS game.

Testing the mouse is quite simple, throw down some hours on just plain gaming and also some editing in a photo editor. While the 4000 DPI gives great performance with it's really high resolution, it still is a bit too fast for me. I just love the 2000 DPI setting for all my computing needs. Even 800 DPI is quite ok, but it starts to feel a bit slow and I'm not really ready for the grandpa setting of 400 DPI.




Although it's great to have the settings to change between when needed.

The mouse itself feels quite large, but fits my hand quite good. Also needed to say, it's a mouse for right handed persons, as most mice today.

Just a final note on the mouse wheel, I believe it's the best feature on this mouse. Well perhaps not the mouse wheel like that, but the feel of it. It is really soft and smooth while very precise, and it lights up red as well when connected to a computer.



The result of the testing is quite clear, it's a really good mouse.

On next page we'll take a look at my conclusion.
