Labs brief: Coolermaster Recon
Coolermaster has been releasing some impressive peripherals under its
CM Storm sub brand, the latest of which is the ambidextrous Recon mouse.
It is a fairly simple and unassuming design, with two thumb buttons on each side, big left and right buttons surrounding a nice, chunky scrollwheel and DPI adjustment arrows. It has the usual coloured lighting, which by default changes with changes in DPI. These buttons can all be rebound, the DPI settings changed and even the lighting can be customised in the software.
While the Recon doesn’t outdo more expensive mice, it is a truly excellent offering for the price point. Not only is it slick and responsive, but the buttons are all satisfyingly clicky and the ergonomics surprisingly good for a small mouse. A great budget offering.
