Cons Of The Steelseries World Of Warcraft Gaming Mouse

Although our research revealed a lot of glowing reviews for this WOW mouse, some were not so bright and optimistic. One buyer for instance stated that they were not pleased with the way it was built, having a plethora of buttons on Steel Series World of Warcraft MMOthe side. Though we do see this as becoming a hindrance to some, it did not get in the way of our testers, as they are most certainly experienced in testing out other gaming hardware and were used to setups similar to this.

Another buyer, on the other hand, thought that the light being emitted was too strong, making it tough to play in the night. This was a common opinion amongst our panel of 3 hardware reviewers at Mysteryblock. There was also no setting to dim the light, though it did look pretty neat in the daytime.

Verdict

In general, the Steelseries World Of Warcraft gaming mouse has several fantastic reviews, multiple features and very few cons online. It can thus, pass for a very good addition to your gaming paraphernalia.

PS: You have two purchasing options (three if you count the Cataclysm version) – the cheaper wired World of Warcraft mouse or the slightly more expensive wireless version.
