Saitek 1600DPI & 3200DPI Gaming Mice Review

September 5th 2007 | Peripherals

Saitek might not be the first name to come to mind when contemplating a gaming mouse purchase, but after taking a look at their 1600DPI and 3200DPI offerings, the message is clear: Saitek has the capability to be a real threat to the better known competition.

The Saitek 1600DPI gaming mouse, despite it’s no-nonsense design is surprisingly feature-packed, thanks to it’s drivers. It also has tracking performance on par with every other 1600DPI optical mouse I’ve used. If you’re looking for an inexpensive mouse with great performance and good drivers, this mouse is worthy of consideration.

After using the 1600DPI gaming mouse, I can’t help but think that while the 3200DPI laser mouse might offer some useful additional features like adjustable weights and more DPI options, it falls short in terms of driver functionality, and it’s strange shape will probably be unattractive to many people. The mouse itself works well, but at it’s higher price point I would hesitate to recommend it because the drivers lack simple functions like saving/loading profiles and keeping a key pressed down.
