I recently decided to upgrade my trustly old Logitech Wheel Mouse I've had for over 5 years. I picked up this OCZ X-750 Equalizer Laser Gaming Mouse

I paid $19.99 (Canadian) on sale from $29.99

Features:

- 6 different DPI modes ranging from 400-2500 dpi which can be selected by a button just behind the scroll wheel. The scroll wheel glows different colors depending on the dpi setting you choose.

- 6 buttons. Left,right,middle, two thumb buttons and this "triple-threat" button, which essentially does a left click 3 times very fast.

- Dual-laser

- Nice grip for your thumb

- Thin, light cable.

- Gold-plated usb connector

- 6 year warranty from ocz

My Thoughts:

My first thought was, WOW. This mouse is a huge upgrade from my old Logitech (which I paid $35 for way back when). It tracks so smoothly and accurately without missing a beat. I simply couldn't believe how good this mouse is for only $19.99. I've tried your typical Logitech G5's and Razer Diamondback mice and the OCZ X-750 easily compares to those at half the price. I never did care for the look or feel of either of those mice.

The shape of the mouse is perfect for my hand. The weight is also spot on. The thin/light usb cable makes it feel like there's no cable at all, almost as close a wireless mouse. The overall construction is very solid (The last G5 I tried felt pretty cheap in comparison). I was expecting it might feel cheap given the price but was proven wrong.

On-the-fly dpi changing is great, but most decent gaming mice can do that these days.

The software is good for me. I don't need to set anything fancy. People who want to set macros and such will be disappointed here. The software doesn't do anything outside of configuring the buttons and scroll wheel.

My only regrets is that I only ordered one of these mice. My next order will definitely include another one or possibly even two. At $19.99...why not?

Conclusion:

If you told me you paid $50 for this mouse I would probably believe you. Sure the software sucks but I don't need or use it.

- Cheap ($19.99!!)

- Comfortable

- Great Weight

- Great Tracking

Here's two shot of the glowing scroll wheel. Orange @ 1200dpi, Green @ 800dpi:

I think you'd have to push pretty hard to push the side buttons in. Mine are pretty solid. Can't say anything about the paint, I've only had the mouse for a week now.

OCZ makes gaming mice?!

I hear it's actually a rebranded A4Tech 750-BF...so they don't actually make the mice. :( A lot of brands do the same thing though. Ie. Microsoft/Logitech

It's still very nice though :)

My friend had this mouse. It's a nice mouse but one of his side buttons got pushed in and the blue paint where his index finger would sit wore off and there was a big silver spot after about 1-2 months of using it.

Just an update about this. I've had this mouse for a month now and there's absolutely no visible signs of wear or fading and all buttons still work like new.

Interesting, too bad it looks a little too tacky for my liking :(

Seconded. I can't stand the blue + glowing buttons. Thanks, but no thanks, I'm sticking with my G5 (Y). Nice review but you should add more content for example what you should be doing here is weighing the pros and cons. All I see here is all pros but where are the cons ? Good effort and keep it up (Y)

I have the A4Tech X-750BF, Its the same mouse but in a black and grey colour. After over 2 years use the only sign of wear is the logo rubing off slightly.

Its a great mouse, very responsive and for such a cheap feeling mouse its reliability and longevity make it better than most of the expensive models, but theres 3 big probs. Its too small for man-hands, Its very lightweight, and the triplefire button depending on the game and weapon selected doesnt always work.

However i paid ?14 for mine and in that pricepoint its by far the best mouse on the market and I would buy another if something happene to this one.

If they could make it Bigger and Heavier, itd be a winner

i had the A4tech(x750-bf) version of this mouse, literally the same exact mouse except for name and colors. great mouse, just a rather thin usb cable. the usb cable broke and i was unsuccesful in repairing it.

the "paint" is just screenwork and rubs right off. mine started peeling up at the edges and wearing thin were my fingers rested.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
