Common Use & Final Thoughts

The mouse is a little flatter than the Logitech mice I've preferred since I began using computers. It's more for a gamer who prefers his or her hand to be flat when using the mouse instead of cupped. I prefer my hand to be cupped around the mouse. Also, the mouse is light, even with the 140 grams of weights installed. I prefer a heavier mouse, such as my Logitech MX1000.

Those who like Razer's mice should definitely try the Cyber Snipa Stinger mouse. The DPI setting switcher is amazing and the tracking is fantastic: 7,080 frames per second with a 1000 Hz (1 millisecond) report rate, at 400 to 3200 dpi. Compare that with most of Razer's mice and its 1600-1800 dpi and 6400 frames per second engine.

Honestly, every gaming mouse designer, and perhaps even office mouse designers, should put a hardware DPI switch on every mouse made forevermore. Cyber Snipa is definitely right on target with its hardware DPI switch.

The Stinger costs between $35 and $50, depending where one looks.

Pros

• User-modifiable weights
• Macro software for buttons (a pro for those who need it)
• DPI switch is amazing and every mouse should have one

Cons

• Macro software messes up thumb buttons
• Thumb buttons too far from resting thumb position
• My hand got tired after only a few minutes of use
