Final Thoughts
Price
The cougar Revenger is a flawless gaming mouse, and I must admit that I wrote this review with absolutely no knowledge of the price. My estimate was £60-70, it’s certainly got the quality and performance of something in that price range, so my jaw is on the floor to see that it’s just £44.99 at OCUK! Now that’s the kind of value any PC gamer can enjoy!
Overview
It’s pretty obvious that I really like the Cougar Revenger, and that’s certainly understandable given that it aced all of our performance tests. The use of the well-proven Pixair PWM3360 sensor was a smart move, and while much of the performance can also come down to the construction, firmware and more, Cougar clearly made a lot of smart choices here. The DPI can be dropped to 100 or pushed up to 12000 and it didn’t exhibit any performance issues such as angle snapping, correction, acceleration, or jitter, throughout our testing, making it pixel perfect and ideal for those who take their FPS gaming seriously.
The build quality is rock solid, and that shows in the overall aesthetics of the mouse too. This is a great looking gaming mouse with very nicely finished surfaces, responsive and reliable Omron switches, hard-wearing rubber side grips, huge slipmats, and much more on offer. It’ll survive a few hard knocks and bumps with ease too, no compromise on quality here.
In terms of features, it’s not too crazy, but ticks all the right boxes with fully programmable switches, a decent macro engine, the DPI trigger switch, large scroll wheel, multi-surface sensor, and the RGB lighting. You can’t really ask for much more from a mouse and that’s even more true given the rather wallet friendly price tag.
