this video was brought to you by NCI X great technology selections and service hey guys Eber here with Haruka Knox and today we're taking a look at a product from thermaltake especially from their tte sports gaming division this is the level 10m hybrid wireless mouse priced at $110 the thermaltake has gone with a wireless revision of the very popular level 10m and they've made some changes like the added finger support on the right the browser buttons on the left are now the same size plus the aluminum frame is now a slightly darker shade the build quality is extremely solid combined with the software server surface to give the 10m hybrid that familiar and sturdy feel there's also the added support for your ring and pinky fingers for a much improved ergonomics as its boxy form on the original was one of the main disadvantages the 10m hybrid is large and heavy and it's disappointing to see no weight adjustment system however we can adjust the height and the angle of the top surface using the included torque tool this is an excellent consideration allowing some user flexibility whether you prefer a taller or a slightly shorter body the angle adjustment on our sample is quite loose however so the body swayed side-to-side with ease it didn't affect the grip but it does reveal the drawback of this adjustment system that turns it obsolete now the hybrid and the name stands for wireless or wired with the included USB cable the external front section is where you plug in the cable and it makes the mouse unnecessarily long and you'll require a fairly large mouse mat to maintain that smooth Glide the cable is braided plus the tip is color-coded for easier distinction when used in wireless mode Thermaltake includes this end piece that you put in front of the mouse for that familiar look but I really wish the front design was something else the included wireless receiver can be stored on the USB cap that is tied onto the cable which prevents it from being this place that is considerate and also there's an included carrying case that has proper divisions for cable and the males itself the hybrid has 9 programmable buttons with two browser buttons with a joystick like button with four directions on its own click this is an awesome way to cram in plenty of macros and the profile and dpi by the directional presses on the joystick are not as defined as it's easy to click the up command when trying to click the forward on the joystick primary left and right clicks are very tactile with quick bounds short travel distance and light enough for quick presses the scroll wheel is also easy to press plus a scroll steps are defined unlike the original TT sports logo below the mesh does not illuminate but the other LED zones have remained unchanged so on the left click you'll get this strange rectangular illumination and the scroll wheel there's also the DPI shift indicator on the right click but I feel like it's placed in the wrong side because you can't see the DPI levels you're using and it's most likely covered by a metal finger luckily there's an onscreen overlay for dpi and profile shifts keep in mind that the LEDs don't light up when used in wireless mode that complements battery life and the LEDs in the mouse will blink once you hit 30% of battery or less reminding you to charge the mouse at the bottom we may find glide paths plus an on/off switch to preserve battery in a pairing button for the receiver the Avago 9800 laser sensor seems to be hitting mini gaming mice lately like this in say Wireless from steel series or EVG is first Mouse the Torx x10 and no surprises here with accurate tracking but occasional stuttering and lag in wireless mode when tested on white surfaces however using a large mouse mat proved more reliable for smooth and accurate navigation the included driver software looks clean with standard button mapping there's also the normal and battle mode option that changes the lighting based on your frequency of your clicks then you have the five different profiles lighting options for the two zones macro recordings are very convenient and of course sensor adjustments are crucial with four levels along with liftoff distance and all these settings are saved on the mouse thanks to the built-in memory given the large size and non-conventional square form give yourself some time to get used to the shape after finding my optimal grip my aiming accuracy was spot-on and my hand felt comfortable despite the lack of thumb support so this level 10m refresh still carries that solid form thanks to the aluminum frame excellent primary switches the hybrid option for wireless or wired mode and form adjustment allowing height and such set flexibility the inclusion of the finger support on the right is of course welcome although I wish we I'm support instead so now comes the negatives the mouse doesn't need to be this long just to hold a cable that requires a large than usual tracking area the joystick on the left side is very flimsy without properly defined directional presses the angular adjustment is also quite loose and the DPI indicators on the right are out of sight although thanks the on-screen overlay that is not a big deal also for a wireless mouse there is no convenient way to charge the 10m hybrid meaning you have to plug it every few days in which in case you might as well just opt for the original 10m for half the price and I get that wireless gaming mice are becoming more common but it's the inconvenient charging that turns me off from the 10m hybrid but would you think would you consider the wireless capability for twice the price or just stick with the wired option let us know in the comments below thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe for more
