Tt eSPORTS VENTUS Mouse Review

[section_title title=”Performance”]Performance

Following in Charlie’s footsteps so as to be consistent, I am going to break the performance part up into 3 parts, all of which are important to consider when buying a new mouse.

Ergonomics

The VENTUS is an ambidextrous mouse that has 1 button on both sides and also features 3 weights in the base to allow users to customise the overall weight of the mouse depending on their preference. It is a bit longer than I was used to but after using it for a bit, this became less and less noticeable. Being an ambidextrous mouse there are no finger rests for the 3rd/4th fingers per say but there is enough room for them to rest comfortably along the side of the mouse so they are not dragging across your mouse mat. Since it is an ambidextrous mouse it is geared more towards people with a generic palm grip and I would say have a bit bigger hands, well at least a little bigger than me.

As mentioned there are thumb buttons on either side of the mouse depending on which hand you will use. These thumb buttons are aligned a bit differently on each side, giving me the impression that lefties may grip their mouse a bit different? I really am not too sure. When I tried to use the mouse with my left hand I found it a bit odd to get my thumb onto the thumb button on the appropriate side but when using with my right hand all was well. From a right handed point of view the mouse and it’s buttons are on point and right where they need to be to access them comfortably and with ease. From a left handed perspective I can’t say much as everything I do with my left hand is awkward so it could just be down to me.

Buttons

The main left/right buttons are nice and responsive thanks to the OMRON switches Tt eSPORTS have used in the VENTUS mouse. The side buttons and DPI buttons have a nice clicky feel to them giving an overall quality feel to the mouse. It is nice to see companies are starting to take more effort into the secondary buttons as in my opinion they can become just as important as the primary left/right buttons, especially depending on the game you are playing.

Tracking

The tracking on the VENTUS did not let me down. As per my normal testing I had a play on Quake Live, Battlefield 4 and CS:GO. I feel these games all have different paces and help me in best assessing the mouse.

For Quake Live I mostly play Clan Arena which consists of rocket jumps and exceptionally fast game play. There is a lot of moving around as fast as you can, then having to come to a sudden halt to aim up an enemy with the Railgun. Thanks to the AVAGO sensor in the VENTUS this was all carried flawlessly and with ease, I did not notice any input lag of any type during my testing.

Battlefield 4 is a bit more slow paced and is a good all around test for a gaming mouse I would say. Switch between a fully automatic weapon and a sniper rifle will give you a good feel on how the mouse will handle. Again everything went smooth and having the DPI switches right below the scroll wheel allowed for easy DPI switching depending on the weapon I was carrying. I was quite pleased at this point how the mouse was holding up and it was time for its final test.

When playing CS:GO the VENTUS offered amazing precision aiming which is key. CS:GO is a more slow paced game than the other 2 I tested it on and is very important to get the first shot when meeting an enemy. The response time of the OMRON switches was phenomenal and the precision of the AVAGO laser sensor was also exceptionally good.

Overall the VENTUS held up well in all aspects of my performance tests and was a pleasure to use but enough of that, let’s get on to the conclusion.
