Ozone Xenon Gaming Mouse Review

To conclude this review, Ozone have produced more of a budget gaming mouse that puts form over function. Whilst it looks like a worthy opponent for many similarly priced mice (RRP approx £25), the lack of features really does put the Xenon at the bottom of the list if you are a gaming enthusiast. Having no side buttons on the thumb area is pretty unusual and we didn’t like that mainly because we use those buttons everyday for gaming and general use. The software is another aspect of the mouse that lets it down, and by that, we mean it’s almost pointless as the operating system can handle most of the changeable options and there really isn’t any point in changing the LMB or RMB’s functions. We were also disappointed with the level of friction the mouse had with most of our mouse pads. Clearly the larger surface area creates more friction, so much so it is audibly louder than the other mice we have in to test.

That said, the Xenon isn’t actually that bad. Sure it lacks features and would not suit most gamers, but at the right price point, this could be a decent contender for games like CS:S or CS:GO, not to mention for everyday use. We really liked the design of this mouse, so with a few tweaks internally and on the bottom, Ozone could have a pretty decent mouse on their hands.

The Xenon doesn’t tick all the right boxes for us to give Ozone an award – although it is creeping towards the budget award, but it just lacks the additional features that require it to reach the grade. We’d love to see a V2 of this mouse and will keep our fingers crossed that Ozone produce one.
