Performance
The software for the M93 is pretty basic, but it has easy access to all the major features and works for a range of Gigabyte products.
The M93 has programmable buttons, an adjustable scroll speed and pointer speed.
This isn’t a crazy gaming mouse, so pushing the sensor to its limits in CS:GO isn’t really going to prove anything. As you can see from the tests below, the sensor works great at 800 DPI and gives a pretty smooth readout.
There’s a little jitter around 1200DPI, but it’s still within tolerable limits for day to day use.
The lift-off height is around 2mm and the mouse does suffer from a little sensor acceleration. The sensor performance isn’t the best in the world, so I wouldn’t be using this mouse for gaming on anything above casual Facebook games anytime soon. Nor would I be using this mouse for precision critical work in Photoshop. Where the M93 excels in general day to day work. Browsing the web, checking emails, working on Office documents; this is the natural home of the M93.
The mouse doesn’t glide too well on a hard cloth surface, as there are no Teflon pads on the base. However, the sensor does have one trick up its sleeve that left me impressed; it’ll work on virtually any surface. My glass desk, the arm of a leather couch, a wooden table, the carpet and a stone kitchen worktop; they all worked perfectly.
I think I like it but why do they have to place those two side buttons so far forward? unless it’s a smaller mouse they aren’t within comfortable reach for those of us with smaller hands and use a claw grip and I should know, I always have had problems with full sized mice with the button placement so far forward.
As a guy with hands like giant trapdoor spiders, I have the complete opposite issue as you, even on my Steelseries Rival the buttons are too far back to be pressed comfortably. I wouldn’t mind seeing a mouse with a single side button large enough for all hand sizes, to eliminate this ergonomic quandary.
