this video is brought to you by NCI XCOM great technology selection and service hey guys EB here with hurricane axe and thermal take is really aiming to bring budget-friendly gaming peripherals to the masses without sacrificing quality the talent and the talent blew my stand at an extremely affordable twenty dollar price point so the question is what can gamers expect for this value as concerns on quality control and build quality come to mind both these might look exactly the same they have the same sensor the same button placement the same build quality and the only difference is the lighting which I will get to shortly the build quality feels surprisingly good for the price this is partially because of the soft touch texture that feels smooth just like my AVR 7000 and I love it the elevated portion of the rear accommodates four palm type users while claw grip is always another option and notice the mouse's ambidextrous that Thermaltake advertises as perfect for both right and left hand users however this is just plug in play Mouse there are no drivers available so you cannot switch your primary left hand by clicks and therefore this is a right hand Mouse only Thermaltake has to be more careful with this misinformation the large teflon feet at the bottom are adequate for smooth glide and I didn't notice any signs of peeling which is great one of the unique features that we were really surprised to see our removable side panels that are held with two screws at the bottom this way users may adjust the shape and feel of the mouse to their liking I noticed that edges we're a bit sharp and actually introduced a bit of discomfort for handling and material feel is different too it adds a bit of grip it also lets a lot more of internal blue lighting shine out on the tail and blue and the color cycling effect on the talon the mice are equipped with a Nevada 3050 optical sensor with sensitivity up to 3000 dpi which is plenty enough for gaming even on multiple monitors it is regarded as a decent entry-level infrared sensor showing no artifacts on clawed mouse mats and keep in mind white surfaces and glass are not picked up by the sensor the liftoff height algorithm does a proper job with different types of surfaces and that's an impressive feature for a $20 the primary left and right buttons respond well with excellent tactile feedback with less resistance which I'm glad to see the scroll wheel is light enough to press but with very big scroll steps which is a disappointing factor the browser buttons just feel fine and is in a proper spot the DPI share button is well within reach behind the scroll wheel and since it's a single click you must cycle through five levels which are 500 750 1500 2500 and 3000 dpi again coming back to the lack of drivers the only indication of your dpi setting is lighting changes on the talon and the scroll wheel blinks on the talon blue the lighting on both these mice is the only features at the first the talon changes it up from traditional lighting accents throughout the mouse body with these translucent lines there is a 6 color cycling effect lighting system that cycles through red orange yellow blue dark blue and purple to turn the lighting off you'll have to press the left click button and the dps shift button at the same time clicking on the scroll wheel and the DPI button at the same time allows you to lock one color so it no longer cycles through unfortunately our review sample didn't recognize this command we weren't totally surprised given the price point so lower your expectations the talent blue on the other hand had blue LED lighting with static and pulse patterns and the effect can be switched off the cable is braided and it comes with proper logo at the tip to help differentiate between other cables which is good to see on both the talent and the talon blue so when conclusion Thermaltake has brought a lot of features with the talent and the talon blue towards the market at extremely affordable price the highlights include the excellent build quality and the ergonomic ambidextrous body with the soft rubber coating the 6 online switches and the LED lighting on both are always welcome some drawbacks include the lack of driver software and the issue that we had with the talent on the LED lighting the removable side panels could be considered a positive but personally I prefer them leaving on since the sharp edges without them are totally uncomfortable that being said the weight Thermaltake approached pricing on the talon and the blue can be praised for delivering a truly budget-friendly gaming house that offers more than the basics and we're giving it the Harbour Canucks damn good value award thank you so much for watching our video make sure to subscribe for more similar content and give us a like if you found this review helpful and as always we'll see you in the next one
