Lightness is going to be a factor that will be heavily influenced by premium and even home-level mice. As it is a tool that we are going to move constantly throughout the day, either browsing or in game sessions, that weighs little but at the same time its weight is noticeable, it will open a way for many manufacturers to bring us their different proposals, like the Mountain Makalu 67 RGB.
This mouse is characterized by its structure of fins instead of a honeycomb one to considerably reduce the weight by reducing the weight of the case and at the same time allowing the entry of air so that the user's hand does not get hot. It also comes with RGB customization of a small part of the mouse, and the PAW3370 sensor that make this a mouse that comes close to the premium range.
We are grateful to Mountain for giving us a sample of the product for review.

Makalu 67 RGB Gaming Mouse Experiences Conclusion
First of all, the official price is a bit impressive. But it is understandable when it has a design thought to be as light as possible, very slippery, with a state-of-the-art optical panel, and customizable RGB. It seems like a middle ground between a premium-end mouse and a normal home user mouse.
Indeed, the weight that Mountain boasts so much with the Makalu 67 RGB mouse is enviable light, and its touch feels much more comfortable than the usual honeycomb. But here the radical problem that is going to be repeated with many of these mice with the holed casing to make the mouse ultralight is the microclimate and the dirt. The palm of the hand emits heat and insulates it so it is possible that in the hot summer months they can get dirty from the hands, and it is necessary to clean it regularly.
If we remove that characteristic inconvenience of this type of time, it is really comfortable and you can see the love and details that have been put into this mouse. it is fully recommended for those who want a light and comfortable mouse. Customizable RGB is an addition that more and more manufacturers must introduce, since it is an element of personalization, visibility and visual comfort that many advanced users demand.
- Its low weight makes it comfortable to use.
- RGB customizable by software.
- The embossed wheel for grip when scrolling.
- It can generate a microclimate inside the mouse and fill with dirt, especially in the summer months.
