We analyze the Sharkoon Skiller SGM1 gaming mouse, an ideal solution for those who want a quality mouse for all kinds of uses.
We can find a wide variety of gaming mice on the market, but choosing one can be complicated and we have to look at many things. We have been lucky enough to test the Sharkoon Skiller SGM1, a high-performance gaming mouse, intended for fans of video games, which has high-end features and performance. Among other elements, this mouse has OMRON switches, the best on the market and the PixArt PMW3336 sensor, which offers the highest precision on the market and allows this mouse to reach up to 10,800 DPI.
The characteristics of this Sharkoon Skiller SGM1 are very good, but it takes more than high-performance features, we must take other aspects into account. One of the very important aspects of gaming mice is ergonomics, something important to avoid long-term problems and muscle fatigue, if we play for a long time. This mouse has RGB LED lighting and also offers a fully adjustable weight system, which allows the weight to be adjusted according to the user's needs.
The mouse developed by Sharkoon, arrives in a cardboard box, quite robust and colorful, based on the black and blue colors. The box has a lid, which covers the inside of the mouse, which is under a transparent plastic, which protects the mouse and allows us to see it. Logically, on the back of the box we find the characteristics of this mouse, in addition to more images of the mouse itself.
Inside the box, in addition to the mouse, as it cannot be otherwise, we find a bag to protect the mouse when we transport it, an optical disk in which is the control software and drivers, although we recommend accessing the web from the manufacturer and download them, because normally we will find the latest updates, both for the software and the drivers. Sharkoon has also added some Teflon pads, allowing to change the ones that the mouse itself brings, so that we do not lose performance over time, since these pads wear out with use.
We move on to the Sharkoon Skiller SGM1, which has an elegant and simple design, which has a braided cable in black and blue colors, the characteristic colors of the brand, offering an elegant appearance, but whose mission is to protect the cable from wear. . The body of the mouse has a black plastic body, quite robust and conventional. The design is ergonomic, allowing a great fit for our hand and avoiding exhaustion and possible pain after long sessions of use.
Something very interesting about this mouse is that it has dimensions of 122x82x42mm, with a total weight of 130 grams, a weight that can vary, since the mouse has a weight system. It is something quite typical in high-end gaming mice, to implement a weight system in the central area of the mouse, allowing you to adjust the weight of the mouse. In this case, the drum has space for a total of six 4-gram weights, each one of them, which allows the weight to be raised to 154 grams.
We now look at the left side area, where the mouse has five buttons, which we can program with different functions, allowing us to execute different tasks. The touch of this area is very pleasant and to the touch, they give the feeling of offering excellent quality, allowing them to have great durability. This area has four LEDs, which will offer us the function of indicating the DPI that are selected at that moment. It has a large scroll that is covered in rubber, preventing an erroneous action from slipping, more than necessary. This scroll offers us four directions of use, allowing us to perform vertical and horizontal scroll functions.
Just before scrolling, we find the buttons that allow us to adjust the DPI, quickly and easily. This mouse has seven levels or modes of DPI configured as standard, such as 10.800 / 8.200 / 5.200 / 3.600 / 2.400 / 1.600 / 800DPI, which allows great adaptability to all types of user. We must remember that DPIs offer us to vary the amount of stretch that the cursor travels according to the movement of the mouse. The higher the level, the longer the pointer travels with less mouse travel.
Impressive features OMRON mechanical switches have been implemented in this mouse and are used in the best mice on the market. These switches offer us up to 20 million keystrokes, something that guarantees us great durability. The buttons are slightly curved, to adapt to all types of grip, offering great comfort and allowing great usability. We find in the back area the company logo, which has an RGB LED lighting system.
Regarding the sensor, as we have commented, the Sharkoon Skiller SGM1 has a PixArt PMW3336 sensor, which offers one of the best features on the market, being the best that can be found on the market. This sensor offers us a maximum resolution of 10.800 DPI, has an acceleration support of up to 30G and a precision of 150 IPS, which offers great precision and quality. The two-meter-long cable terminates in a gold-plated USB port, to prevent corrosion and improve conductivity.
We must emphasize that this Sharkoon Skiller SGM1 is a high quality mouse, with an extremely reasonable price and that will delight users who choose this mouse. The ergonomics implemented in this mouse ensure that it adapts to a large number of users. Allowing the adjustment of the weight of the mouse, offers us great adaptability. In addition, this mouse has high quality mechanical switches, which guarantees us an extremely long useful life, without problems and that is that OMRON switches are considered the best on the market.
We think it is an excellent mouse in many aspects and it is one of this type of mouse that adapts, not only to all types of users, thanks to the above and the programmable buttons, but also for the price, since it is around € 50, for which is not an unreasonable price for a mouse of this quality and performance. Perhaps it is missed that it is not wireless, although it is true that, via USB port, the latency is lower.
