Performance


Cougar offers up the UIX software with all their gaming peripherals, and that means you only need one software suite to control them all, saving you from additional software cluttering up your OS. UIX is very nicely designed, with everything in an easily digestible layout that’s going to be welcoming to beginners, but advanced enough for the pros.

The RGB lighting can easily be tweaked with a few clicks, and there are a few effects to pick from too. There are two layers to the lighting too, which allows you to create some lovely fade effects on the rear of the mouse.

Every button on the mouse can easily be reprogrammed to suit your needs, with multiple profiles available so that you can quickly toggle from one to the other, which is great if you play a lot of games and need an MMO setup, an FPS setup and dare I say it, perhaps even a work setup. You can add macros, a sniper button, profiles and more to the switches, so you won’t be feeling cheated on configuration options.

The sensor can have up to three DPI levels applied per profile (you can turn them off to have 1 or 2 if desired), angle snapping is off by default (good!), and you can even tweak the lift height should you need to. With a range of 100 to 12000 DPI, you’ve got a lot to play around with here, so finding what works best for you is going to be pretty easy.

Cougar made big claims about their sensor and while it sports a 12k DPI, bigger numbers don’t always mean better performance. Lucky for Cougar, and for everyone else, this mouse delivers the big DPI numbers and the high-end performance we love to see side by side. The sensor is smooth as silk from low DPI, right up to the breakneck speeds of 12k, where we expected the mouse to be uncontrollable, but it glides with minimal effort, and that makes minor twitchy controls pretty easy; perfect for CS:GO!cougar-revenger-800

The RGB lighting looks gorgeous, you can see that in the next few pictures. The colours are really rich and electric, and the two-level lighting gives it a nice fade effect that’s sure to look great on your desktop.

We really can’t fault this mouse at all, not a thing wrong with it. It glides like a ballerina on ice but still has a nice bit of weight and chunkyness to it that’s great for my larger hands. The buttons are snappy and responsive, making them perfect for gaming and the UIX software suite means that even a newcomer to high-end gaming mice won’t be left wondering what could have been, if only they knew how to work everything on offer.

Thumbs up for the bungee too, not really much to say about it other than we expected it to hold our cable and it did, perfectly. Looks pretty great too, a nice little addition to the desktop!
