Cooler Master MM712 Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

Cooler Master is one of the leading names when it comes to PC components and peripherals, with an incredible range of PC cases, coolers and power supplies. They’ve pushed into the world of PC gaming monitors recently too, with unrelenting success too I might add. However, today, I’ll obviously be focusing on their gaming peripherals, such as this lovely new Cooler Mater MM712 wireless gaming mouse. It’s packed full of appealing features, the first obviously being that it’s wireless. However, it also comes with an ultra-light design, USB-C, Bluetooth, RGB lighting, and a few other nice features that are sure to appeal to many.

Cooler Master MM712

Available in either black or white, the MM712 features an ultralight design that’s bucking one trend, out is the honeycomb design and back in is a more traditional shell, but amazingly, it still weighs just 59 grams. Even Cooler Master’s product page says “don’t ask us how we did it — just be happy we did.” Beyond that, there’s a very nice 19,000 DPI optical sensor, optical microswitches, three modes of connectivity, up to 180 hours of battery life, and more. Honestly, given this mouse is only £59.99 at the time of writing, it seems too good to be true!

What Cooler Master Had to Say

“The MM712 is the next evolution of our first popular lightweight mouse, leveled up to lightweight prestige. It retains all the same benefits: gaming-grade sensor, hybrid 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless capability, PTFE feet for unrivaled glide, optical micro switches for near-instant input, and ultraweave cable for minimal snagging. However, it does all this while shedding the shredded chassis, opting instead for a seamless, hole-less profile specially engineered to remain 59g in total weight. Responsive, agile, and tactile, the MM712 truly fills in the gaps of its perforated predecessors.” – Cooler Master
