SteelSeries Ikari Laser Gaming Mouse

 

This mouse is nothing short of amazing and the only thing holding it back from getting the highest score available is the scroll wheel problems that it has. At €79.99 you are expecting a flawlessly performing mouse, but the Ikari cannot claim that...

Excellent tracking, Very good ergonomics, Design, Lift-off distance, Good performance at any sensitivity, Profile display, High / Low sensitivity LEDs, Durable, Perfect button placement for the majority of users, Exceptional glide, Looks good

Expensive, Scroll wheel problems (random press and jam), Not for left handed people

SteelSeries Ikari Laser Mouse Review

SteelSeries Ikari Laser Gaming Mouse

 

– Excellent build quality, – Comfortable, – Robust configuration software, – Respectable styling, – LCD display is useful

– None to report.

So it's quite clear that the SteelSeries Ikari sailed through our testing with flying colours and performed exactly as expected. So how does it stack up to it's competitors? Well, on paper it loses out in polling rate achieving half of the 1000Hz that...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Awesome Product

 

i would recommended this product.

Fits perfect in my hand. Was a refurbished model and i have had it for about 8 months now and had no issues. Very happy with this product and if they still made em, i would recommended it.

The mouse cord is covered with some kind of cloth like material, that over time rubs and wears off.

Hi mom

 

Would press left click once, and it would double click. Whats up with that! All the adjustment to click speed didn't make a difference at all. Lasted a couple months before it got monkey stomped.

Got it on the cheap.

Got what i paid for.
