Gaming mice there's a ton of Matt on the market all offering a myriad of special features and pretty lights and to probably end up having direct this week's paycheck just to grab one but is that always necessary can you spend as little as 40 bucks to get the kind of performance that you want we're gonna find that out today by taking a look at the you techsmartt Venus gaming mouse here on tech up tomorrow now the first thing that I think a lot of you are going to notice about this mouse I know it's the first thing that jumped out at me is just the huge 12 button macro setup on the left side of the mouse in my opinion not the best thing you can do for looks and it also makes just regular restful use of the mouse kind of awkward but of course that's not the reason for this design it's so you have a nice compact way to access a large number of macros all from just your thumb which we'll talk about a little later that aside though the rest of the mouse is pretty good-looking the shape all around is really appealing to the eye outside of that valley of buttons and the UTech logo not only looks really good but has a nice light-up effect going on that's shared with the macro buttons and the scroll wheel while those macro buttons do feel a little weird for your thumb to rest on the rest of the mouse is contoured pretty nice for a right-handed user the left and right mouse clicks are just a little concave for your index and ring fingers and the right side of the mouse has a little groove for your little fingers so the left side of the mouse aside overall this is actually a pretty good looking and comfortable Mouse now as always though aesthetics alone are not the only thing that matters here our chief concern of course is how this thing performs which thankfully the Venus has some really solid customization options and performs really well under strenuous activity first off the customization which on the Venus isn't too over-the-top with just one exception the basic options cover all the main standards pointer speeds scroll speed acceleration double click and pulling rate with light options including color brightness and pulsing rate but the DPI options are where this thing really starts to get a little crazy the Venus is capable of hitting a dpi setting as high as sixteen thousand four hundred which is absolutely ludicrous with your pointer settings set to their lowest you'll get really precise controls or via your pointer speed high it'll achieve absolutely ridiculous Mouse speeds which in all honesty I'm just not entirely sure is that necessary you're going to still feel just enough precision with lower mice that max out at around 8,200 or maybe even 5,600 having the option to go the side doesn't necessarily ruin anything it just seems a little bit unnecessary as for how this can be customized the Venus offers the ability to have five different dpi profiles that you can quickly switch between but what's really nice about this too is that right on the mouse is a little light meter displaying what level you're currently using so that way you have an easy method on keeping track of what current settings using just by glancing over now as four additional buttons from Macker options the mouse features on the top your traditional right and left mouse clicks a scroll wheel that just has one click option of simply pressing it up and down arrows meant for dpi adjusting and an additional small button located just left on the left mouse click that while programmable is initially set for being used as a fire button to instantly triple click now of course the real big time macro options on this mouse though are located on that left side with that valley of 12 different buttons which are initially set to being used as a number pad now when I first got my hands on this mouse my biggest concern was just how easy it is to actually press the button you mean to because when they're all compact together like this it seems like it'd be really easy to accidentally hit the wrong macro which at first is definitely true but as you begin to practice with it it's actually pretty easy to find the button you intend to use thanks to the way the buttons have this little up-and-down rigid design going on you develop this little touch memory of knowing things like the five button is located in the middle near the front slanting inwards so provide you take a little time to actually practice with it it's not that hard to use but there are still some issues with it first off while it is pretty easy to find a specific button quickly switching between them can definitely have some problems since you have to feel out each individual button on top of that they are really close together and not all that large so if your hands are a little bigger or if you have it at least just a bigger thumb it's pretty easy to actually accidentally hit multiple buttons at the same time rather than just the one you intend to so is the Venus the best mouse out there on the market well not exactly but for 40 bucks it handles like a dream it's great looking it's comfortable for the most part during regular use it has really crisp mouse clicks that feel good for quick repetitive clicking and as long as you don't have bigger hands the macro Valley can be really useful provided to take the time to practice with it if you need a gaming mouse for mmo's or any other game genre that's going to benefit from having a lot of macros and you don't want to break your wallet doing that then this is a great solution well that was my
