Roccat Savu Mouse Review

We tested this new mouse with a 4,000 dpi optical sensor and the same Easy-Shift[+] technology from the Kone[+] model, also from Roccat. See how it fared on our analysis.

Rubber coating and rugged plastic surface provide a firm grip ; Easy-Shift[+] technology increases the number of programmable function ; Easy-Aim feature allows for a quick drop in resolution for precision shooting ; Nice color effects ; Pre-recorded...

Fixed resolution stages ; No button below the wheel to change the resolution ; No horizontal scrolling on the scroll wheel ; Doesn’t have a weight adjustment system ; The beautiful light effect is hidden under the user’s palm

Fits both big and small hands ; Looks cool ; Precise and quick movements

No weights

ROCCAT Savu Gaming Mouse Review

Today on our test bench we will be looking at two new products from ROCCAT. Firstly we have a brand new mid-range gaming mouse, the Savu. Featuring a unique 4000DPI optical sensor and ROCCAT's Easy-Shift[+] system the Savu looks to set new standards in...

With the Savu, ROCCAT have continued their streak of producing excellent products. The Savu is a mid-range gaming mouse, built to a very high quality and offering some of the features we see on the higher end products such as the Easy-Shift[+] system....

ROCCAT Savu Gaming Mouse

Back in January at CES 2012 we were asked to stop by and check out ROCCAT on the show floor. While ROCCAT isn't a new company, my knowledge of their products was quite limited which made for a pleasant surprise when we were shown the new ROCCAT...

High Performance ; Nice Feel and Finish ; Extremely Customizable ; Very Comfortable ; Lightweight, but still very Sturdy

Not the Cheapest Mouse Available

So here we are at the end of the ROCCAT Savu review.

Consumer review by: Going Fishing (newegg.com)

1 Most Accurate Optical

This is a midsize palm which can be used in a claw grip very easily and very manageable.

This is by far the most accurate optical mouse on the market. It's weight and balance with ergonomic thumb rest midsize and mouse which is superbly built

Your hand size must fit this mouse or you will not like it

Consumer review by: N/A (newegg.com)

Best FPS mouse!

Most people fall for the mainstream manufacturer's marketing which leads you to believe that laser sensors are “better” than optical. The truth is- every laser sensor is flawed in some way. The Avago A9500 sensor and their newest A9800 in most laser...

Uses the Avago A3090 optical sensor (flawless tracking, no positive/negative acceleration issues, no angle-snapping) ; Omron switches for left & right-click buttons ; Lightweight ; Anti-sweat/slip coating on its surface ; Strong, braided mouse cord ;...

Roccat Savu review

The Roccat Savu is a comfortable mouse, but what is a mid-size hybrid gaming mouse?

Very comfortable ; Reasonable price ; Good size

Not very configurable ; Better gaming mice out there ; Lack of additional buttons

Roccat Savu review

PC gamers haven't jumped on the Achievement bandwagon in the same way as Xbox owners, but that hasn't stopped Roccat from adding its own achievement system to its latest mouse. Now, every time you click, scroll or adjust sensitivity you'll be working...

A reasonable mouse, but unless you really want mouse-driven achievements there are better alternatives

ROCCAT Savu Review

ROCCAT have a new gaming mouse on the market with the world's only 4000DPI optical sensor. Impressed? Find out what we thought...

Good packaging ; Omron Switchgear ; Great Software Suite ; Non-slip texture ; Customisable lighting

Questionable button placement ; Too small for big hands

I like Roccat, I make no secret of that fact. Ever since they broke onto the scene I have admired their discreet, yet interesting designs. The Savu is epitomises this thought as it is far from a brash ugly product yet it encompasses a great deal of...
