ARCTIC M551 Gaming Mouse

The ARCTIC M551 has a resistant surface coating to protect the mouse from wearing out. This helps to maintain the mouse at top-notch quality during day-to-day use. This mouse operates with a laser optical sensor, which helps it have ultra-high...

The ARCTIC M551 turned out to be a solid mouse for gaming. With the on-the-fly DPI changing button, we were ready for whatever came at us in our gaming tests. The extra attention given to the DPI settings with the three different colored LED's is also...

Arctic M551 Gaming Mouse Review

I absolutely hate when people install things wrong. I am a new home owner and, luckily, I grew up in a family of handy men. So I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to repairing things and troubleshooting problems. Well, since I've owned the house,...

Lightweight and Portable ; Front/Back Buttons ; Plug and Play ; Price ; 800/1600/2400DPI Adjustable

Back/Forward buttons could be set back more

Arctic Cooling is a relatively new company, to me, when it comes to peripherals. The Arctic M551 Gaming mouse proved to be a real winner. Also, at a $26 price tag, it's hard to pass up. I've stated this many times, I am a simple man. I don't care for...

Arctic M551 Gaming Mouse

Arctic has continued its rapid pace of releasing new products with their first mouse - the Arctic Cooling M551 Gaming Mouse. It combines adjustable DPI sensitivity with contoured form fitting style, with the goal of an easy to use day-to-day mouse or...

Tracks well; Inexpensive; Adjustable Sensitivity on the fly using top button; Enough buttons for everyday use

No customization options

Overall the M551 is a capable gaming mouse, albeit not as full-featured as other more expensive mice. The Arctic Cooling M551 felt good with my hand, and is comfortable enough at the low price of about $25 that makes it an affordable and attractive...

Arctic M551 Gaming Mouse

Today we'll be taking a look at the Arctic M551 gaming mouse. This is the very first mouse to be released from Arctic-Cooling along with the M571. The M551 costs just a little less. Arctic-Cooling has been making some well-engineered products for some...

Inexpensive ; Smooth and comfortable ; 6 Foot USB cable ; One touch DPI control

Distracting LED's

All in all the Arctic M551 is a well-rounded mouse. It is fast, smooth and accurate once you get your sensitivity set up. For $24.99 US you get a mouse that is just as good as a really expensive one. You can definitely shoot it up with the big dogs on...

Arctic M551 Gaming Laser Mouse

ASE Labs prides itself on fair and honest reviews. We test many products and one of the hardest things to do is to write a review about a product that is lacking. What we have here is the M551 which we thought would be a good addition to the Arctic...

We'll make this short and sweet. If you are looking to buy an Arctic Cooling mouse right now, the M551 is not the one you're looking for. Instead, look to the M571 which is $5 more than the M551. Not only do you get a mouse with a quality feel, it also...
