Introduction

There’s two main schools of thought when it comes to gaming mice. There’s the heavily evolved, multi buttoned, feature and software packed beasts. They might have changeable weights, a little LCD display, 10+ buttons etc.

The other camp is cut back and basic in comparison. However it dispenses with a lot of the unecessary guff that’s often bundled with the hardware of the first group. Today I’m looking at a similar rodent, though it’s also a budget offering. The Cooler Master Xornet, with its rubberised sides and compact design embodies the simplified nature that some of the popular mechanical gaming keyboards do.

Let’s check it out.
