ThunderX3 TM60 Laser Gaming Mouse Review

Performance
For their first range of peripherals, I wasn’t expecting the software to be so well designed! The layout is stylish enough and all the major functions are very easy to locate and tweak to your liking. The buttons are fully programmable with commands, macros and more, and everything can be saved to one of three profiles, each of which can be saved directly to the mouse for later recall, making it tournament friendly.
The lighting can be easily configured using an RGB colour selector, so you’ll have no issues finding your favourite hue or effect.
Acceleration can be completely turned off, which we’ll certainly be leaving off. The DPI can be configured over four modes for quick changing via the on-mouse DPI button, and the polling range can be switched from 125 up to 1000.
The sensor is smooth as silk with no jitter of angle snapping issues across the bulk of the range. Things look a little wobbly at 16k DPI, but if you’re using extreme DPI like that to do fine work, you’re completely bonkers, if you’re scrolling the map of a game or wanting lightning fast turret turns in Battlefield, however, you’ll be thankful for that crazy high tracking speed.
The RGB lighting is tasteful, with the logo at the back as well as the inner section of the scroll wheel giving off some vivid and rich colours of your choosing.
As I said before, the grip and size of this mouse is superb, and the ergonomics work well for virtually any play style. Gaming is an absolute joy and the mouse tracks smooth and accurate in any scenario. While the weighted design may not be as preferable to those who like a light mouse for CS:GO, I prefer the smooth tracking of a heavy mouse and it’s great for LoL and DOTA 2, but also long-term comfort for MMORPG gameplay.
Having full command of the button configuration is great for MMO/MOBA gaming, especially when it comes to configuring multiple profiles for each game/character type, setting macros and shortcuts for each, as you can quickly get the right set of controls when you absolutely need them most.
Overall, a great gaming mouse and one that is equally well suited to day-to-day work.
