Cooler Master Storm Inferno Mouse Review - PAGE 1

Investing in a decent mouse, be it for gaming or productivity, can be very rewarding at times. Extra buttons allowing for hotkeys, shortcuts and macros can greatly increase performance, since once programmed, they are always at hand. A high dots per inch (DPI) sensor enhances precision for the most accurate aiming. Furthermore, what makes a good mouse an even greater investment is that it does not get outdated as quickly as some computer hardware components do.

Overall, buying such a peripheral is much more of a personal preference than buying any piece of computer hardware. For the latter, most people will aim for the best bang-for-the-buck, whereas for the former, a new variable is taken into account: comfort. That is one of the reasons why there are so many mice on the market; anyone can find one to his liking, be it small or big, lefty or righty, and wired or wireless.

Cooler Master extends the selection again with a new peripheral: the Storm Inferno. What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses, if any? Does it have any unique features? This article will attempt to answer all the questions floating around it.
