SHARKOON Drakonia Gaming Mouse - Black

I might be a little insane but I really love sharkoon mice. Biased probably but I bought the sharkoon drakonia back in 2013 and fell in love with it despite the reputation of the ADNS-9800 laser. The mouse wheel finally broke mid game while playing quake and I was out of a mouse.Then I bought the T1 Thunderbird for 20 based upon the price and favorable reviews and was also an optical which is considered superior. Though I liked the mouse it didn't feel right while playing anything like a form of lag. Kinda depressed I searched for another mouse only owning the T1 for about 6 months and then landed on the z7900.The z7900 also had favorable reviews, was optical, but what made me purchase it was the metal brushed finish on the bottom which to me screams quality. Also being a 25 dollar mouse I bought it. The texture of the mouse was totally different from any mouse I ever used and had a nice weight with a claw grip design. The buttons were also extremely high quality leaving a spring resistant type feel to the additional buttons. But I think I bought a bad one because when I swipped hard because of my low sensitivity that I use, the sensor would just flip out and ruin my aim. None of the reviews seem to of had this issue so it leaves me to believe it was a bad sensor despite being a great mouse.Once again I'm in the market finding mice seeing what is the best and landed on the 80 dollar Logitech g502 mouse with the "best" sensor on the market being the PMW-3366. I'm spending money on mice to replace my first love and in the process am finally learning about all the different sensors and what is considered best and worst. Now the Logitech g502 was a very nice buy and has a top of the line sensor but for some reason I didn't care to much for the shape even though I was landing shots.So what did I go ahead aND do?. I decided to rebuy my love the Sharkoon Drakonia while also still using the Logitech g502. At this point I'm pretty much just testing mice and sensors but have 2 mice plugged into my computer. What amazes me is that even though both the ADNS-9500 and 9800 are considered some of the worse sensors for mice. I was still landing shots and playing extremely well, but when I felt maybe I was lacking in a certain area like a hero in overwatch I would switch mice and go to the logitech g502.Now I'm not sure if it was a placebo effect or not. But I found it rewarding that I was able to play extremely well with a sensor no one likes. I read constant articles and opinions over the ADNS-9500 and 9800 sensors and how they are terrible for being consistent in flick shots. Yet I was performing equally if not better using my Sharkoon Drakonia over the Logitech g502. I personally think the shape and weight of a mouse plays a factor in performing well. And the sharkoon drakonia had a shape and feel that I loved where the logitech g502 felt like I was holding a deformed egg and felt somewhat heavy even though it's quality was better.So now I feel biased to my mouse and favor sharkoon so I'm still researching mice but seeing what else sharkoon has made. Now the sgm1 isn't sold in America so I didn't find it at first until I looked at the sharkoon website. I once again fell in love seeing this mouse and the sensor and the adjustable weight and shape. I really really wanted this mouse because it is also very new and part of sharkoon new line up. The sensor is fairly new to and in quite a few mice with similar specs to the logitech g502.I don't know how many people in America own this mouse but it is only sold in europe which is here. So I had to spend a little extra to get it. It cost me 50 dollars this mouse in American ! Which is 30 bucks cheaper than the Logitech g502!.Now let's get to the mouse!. I'm Tur0k in overwatch and do rick and morty impressions online and streat on twitch! I did everything I had to do in order to get the software working and what not. My God this mouse is amazing! The texture is perfection the shape crafted by angles and the buttons flawless with beautiful lighting and a weight system that comes out of the side of the mouse rather than the bottom. I played about 2 hours of overwatch and literally my first game using widow since she is my main. I felt so comfortable with my shots and reaction time I think I finally found my new love.Since I think the shape plays a part. The way the sgm1 feels in my hand is almost like the drakonia except 2 to 3 times better. It feels perfect when holding it and so my shots flow so much better. Also I can make the mouse light which was also another reason why I bought this mouse. Since supposedly a lighter mouse is better I have the option to make it super light to me which in return makes using a lower dpi easier to use which results in more controlled and consistent aim. The sensor is very similar to the g502 but the shape and mouse is superior in my opinion to the logitech g502 for 30 bucks cheaper despite only being sold in europe currently.So basically I've bought 3 mice to try and replace my drakonia. Bought the drakonia again, learned about sensors, tested sensors, and then bought this because of the sensor, look, and being sharkoon. That's a total of 5 mice and my verdict is that this mouse is better than all of the other ones even though each mouse is perfectly fine as it was. Personally I would have never replaced my z7900 because of how much of love that mouse but since I think I got a bad sensor I ended up landing on this and using the drakonia with the g502 one with a sensor no one likes and one that is considered top of the line and found it satisfying that I was able to use my old love the drakonia and still perform equally as well.But now I own this mouse and the moment I felt it I hoped for it to be perfect in game as it was in my hand. And it truly is, well done sharkoon I'm glad I went through a long process of sensor testing and educating to finally purchase your mouse and don't know what to do with my g502 or my drakonia. I'll probably end up giving away the g502 because I really still like the drakonia and having 3 mice hooked up to a computer is a little to nerdy even though having 2 is still equally as bad.Great job flawless mouse and I'm glad I purchased it despite being over seas and paying extra rather than trying to stick with something that even though is cosine red the best. To me didn't fit my style big the g502.Bring this mouse to the US so that more people can experience your superior mouse. Also you guys make amazing computer cases to!

July 2018: I have 2 of these mice, one at work & one at home. The older one now has an unreliable left button. After 5 1/2 years!! I can't praise this mouse enough. I use it daily for a good 8 hours. Not gaming. So much better value than the expensive and unreliable Logitech mice I used to use.Update after 6 months:Still a great product, well recommended to anyone who wants a solid, high performance mouse. I use mine every day for hours on end and so far it is holding up well, still pristine even though it gets dumped in a bag many days as I want it at home as well as work.I've owned many mice and I'm often disappointed due to the fact that, even though they are very expensive, they never last more than a couple of years.OK, so I'm not an average user and, though I don't play many games, I do use a mouse every day for many hours. I find that the left button goes first with Logitech mice in particular prone to giving a double click instead of a single click after a couple of years of use.So to find such a well featured mouse at this price left me thinking that it would be cheap and nasty. But the reviews indicated otherwise and now I can add my own review. This mouse is AT LEAST as good as any I've ever used and yet significantly cheaper.So even if it only lasts as long as my Logitech mice, I'll still have had a better deal.The lights and the "dragon skin" design are totally over the top! But you quickly ignore them and get used to the sniggers from colleagues! The driver software works and does what is needed. The buttons, including scrolling, are a little rough (a bit noisy) but not excessively so. Movement is very smooth and the weight is good (I've left all the weights in so far). And it works happily on the arm of my leather sofa.The mouse is quite large and is great for those of us with long fingers and who like the mouse to fill the hand. Not so good if you like pinching small mice.

Nice mouse, I chose this because of the adjustable dpi settings, programmable buttons and ergonomic shape.This is a nicely shaped design and the buttons are all comfortably located however the scale pattern isn't quite as subtle as it appears in the picture. I appreciate that this is intended as a non-slip surface but it does cheapen the appearance to some degree. I can only really describe what I mean by saying that the scale design is not a sticker but it does appear as though it is. If the scales were darker, as they appear in the picture then they would not stand out so much. This is only a cosmetic issue but has lost this product a star from my rating.The mouse functions extremely well, it is comfortable to use and other than the appearance I have no complaints. The software is very user friendly with many profiles to save your settings into.The Dragon head light can change between multiple colours for profile reference or just personal choice which I think is a nice touch.

I have had this mouse for Bout 5 year. I got it for work and I Leaves it there so all the shift use it year round and it still works great.. once in a while I have to unplug it to get the drag to stop. I have Bought several for home and for the other work locations.

Mysz działała świetnie niestety tylko przez rok

souris confortable avec molette 4 directions , logiciel aussi , beaucoup des boutons entièrement programmable, Agréable au toucher et ergonomique, excellent modèle malgré le petit prix...

Ottimo prodotto preso ad un prezzo irrisorio da warehouse.Ottimo per il gaming ma anche per la navigazione ed il lavoro, grazie alla personalizzazione dei singoli tasti e alla possibilità di creare diversi profili da selezionare in base all’attività che si vuole svolgere .

This mouse is exactly what I expected. The finish on it is matte, but it also feels matte. As in, it's not slippery, but not super grippy, which is what I wanted. The responsiveness of the mouse is perfect, the sensor is definitely high quality for this price point and the lift off is good too, about 1mm which is perfect for gaming. My only complaint is that there is no software to control the dpi and macros for the mouse buttons. I would have preferred no macro button and software to control it instead. Of course, I looked into this before the purchase and knew this mouse did not have this capability. Overall, the mouse is amazing and I am very happy to have spent relatively little to get a high quality mouse.
