Marvo Scorpion PRO G945 Gaming Mouse Review

A Closer Look & Performance

The mouse comes hard-wired with a lovely quality black braided cable. The USB header is fairly standard, but it does come with a dust cap. There’s even a Velcro tie on the cable to keep things tidy.

The mouse looks pretty great, and honestly, far better than I expected. This mouse is one of the most affordable models I’ve tested in quite some time now, so naturally, I came in with lower expectations to match. Honestly, I didn’t need to lower them at all. It looks solid, and it feels really robust; so far, so good.

Down the left side of the mouse, you have two large navigation buttons, which are easy to control and have a nice and robust click to them that’s very pleasing to use.

Then there’s this red ball. I thought it was purely a button, which I guess it is. It’s got a lovely click to it too, and perfect for using as a sniper button. However, it has a secret, it’s a scroll-wheel… erm, ball; it can be rolled vertically! The whole mouse is programmable, so you could set this to zoom levels, volume wheel, navigation, weapon selection, whatever really. The same goes for the click; it’s a fully programmable button too.

There’s a deep gap here, with a load or RGB lighting tucked in there, and you’ll see that lit up shortly.

There’s a nice Marvo logo at the back, of course, that’s RGB too.

Down the right side, another section of RGB, and there’s more in the mouse wheel too, giving us four unique lighting zones.

Seriously, this is one awesome looking mouse. The matte black finish is complimented well by a few glossy sections. The ergonomics look great (if you’re right-handed), and there’s a slight curve to the LMB and RMB to promote a good hand position.

The mouse wheel has a light turn, but a really tactile and a very audible click that rasps when spun. That’s not a bad thing, I actually find the noise quite satisfying, and it certainly makes for more accurate weapon swapping while gaming. It’s also clickable too, and fully programmable. Located behind it, there’s a DPI button and an RGB button. However, I would likely reprogram the RGB button to DPI level down; I rarely need RGB control at my fingertips.

On the underside, you’ll find that 10k DPI optical sensor, as well as a profile switch (there are two profiles you can configure via software). Also, the mouse gripped like a running shoe when I tried to use it. This confused me greatly.

Remove the protective film from the Teflon, that really works wonders for fixing this issue.

Now the mouse glides like a greased up Scotsman.

The ergonomics on this mouse are fantastic. It has a deep swell on the left as well as a small wing, giving your thumb a good grip and resting point.

I have quite long fingers, but the mouse can accommodate me just fine.

Everything feels easy to control and well placed.

Plus smaller/shorter hands, or those who want to use a more claw-like grip will find secondary grip points further back that feel equally comfortable.

The shape also means I can lift the mouse with a light grip too, handy if you’re using a lift-off technique and lower DPI levels.

Next, we have the RGB, and boy, does it look awesome. There are a good number of RGB LEDs in each zone, allowing for some pretty dynamic and dramatic lighting effects.

The transitions are really smooth too, and with an RGB button on the mouse, you can tinker away with ease. Of course, there’s software to really get into detail with it too. It’s the same on both sides, and overall, it’s way better than I ever expected it would be.

As for performance, the mouse feels great in my hand. It’s a little on the heavy side, but I’d say it’s a standard weight, but I’ve reviewed so many ultralights in the last year. It’s easy to use though, and all the buttons really do feel fantastic, with a really crisp click to them; worthy of a more expensive model, that’s for sure.

The sensor is decent, not eSports grade like we’re used to seeing, but this mouse is half the price of the big names brands.

There’s a small amount of angle snapping mid-speed and mid-DPI levels, but it only presented itself on larger slow sweeping curves. This can be seen in the top left circle, first red right and the top, and second red ring, left and right sides. There’s some presence of it on the straight lines test. Fast and slow accuracy tests and acceleration tests passed with flying colours. Honestly, any flaws here are small, and it did much better than I expected too.
