Nit-Noid Review: I Got a Steal for $8.99 :)
Yeah, yeah. It’s not the Logitech G Pro Wireless. And yeah, most mouse enthusiasts don’t give a *bleeeeep* about cheap mice, but if it looks like a good design, I do.The Basics:Medium-sized, 85g right-handed ergo mouse. Shape is very similar to the good old Intellimouse. Soft touch rubber on top, textured plastic sides. Two thumb button and a DPI button round out the usual suspects. The sensor goes up to 4800 DPI with preceding steps of 200,400,600,800,1000,1200,1600,2000,2400,3200 and 4000. Primary clicks are10M Huanos.Color options are blue, violet, green red, teal and yellow. Colors can be set to single static, single breathing and color cycle. Color zones are a ring around the bottom of the mouse, the “Gi” logo and the scroll wheel. The mouse was originally $25 on Amazon with a promising shape, but when a manufacturer doesn’t specify what sensor is on the mouse, there’s usually a reason. Now that the mouse is down to $8.99 on Amazon, I decided to try it out, mainly for the shape. Pleasant surprise ensued. Testing time prior to review was four days.The Good:-The general feel of the soft touch finish is good. On par with Nixeus Revel, just shy of the old Roccat Kone Pure.-Decent looks. The logo isn’t great, but it’s not bad either in my opinion. Also, the way the lighting strip curves under the mouse gives the impression that it is hovering on the mousepad better than any other mouse I’ve seen. It is also nice that they were able to keep the weight down instead of adding an additional 6-10 grams of transparent plastic for the sake of looks…(why TT Iris…why)-Good grip and control. Excellent ergo overall. Excellent for small/med palm and med-large fingertip. One of the best shapes out there for small-medium hand sizes that use fingertip but also want the option of going palm.-Lightweight at 85g, feels lighter than the G203 (same weight) because of better grip for lifting on the thumb side.-Side buttons have good feedback, are well placed.-Cable is a style I haven’t seen on a mouse before. Looks like a rubber cord coated in a plastic. The plastic stops the cord from being grabby but does not make the cable stiff either. Granted, it’s not nearly the best I’ve seen flex-wise, but after you work the shipping kinks out, what you’re left with is a moderately flexible cord that doesn’t catch on the mousepad, nice touch I haven’t seen before.-Middle clicking is on the easy side, no mallet required with good feedback.-The scroll wheel has light scroll resistance but enough tactile feedback to be adequate for FPS use, not as pronounced as I’d like. Overall though, good for browsing and ok gaming.-The scroll wheel seems to be angled to the right about 10 degrees. It is a subtle design move that isn’t easily noticed visually so it doesn’t look screwy. On the plus side, if you are someone who scrolls with their index finger, the scroll wheel is better aligned with your finger, giving you more control. Another nice touch I haven’t seen before.-Primary clicks are 10M-rated Huanos and they are excellent. Very nice tactile response with no pre/post travel, force required is light side of medium, slightly more the G403 but excellent, much like the excellent clicks on the TT Iris. Tensioned Logitech clicks are still my fav, but these are good.-The packaging was nice for the price and included a nice thank you note from a young company’s founder, a couple stickers, manual and an extra pair of mouse feet. Much appreciated and a little more than expected for the price point.The Middling:-Software is very basic but functional. If you download the driver, use Explorer - would not work with Firefox as browser.-Limited color options is getting more and more annoying as the era of “RGB standard” becomes the norm. However they are nice and it is a good look for the price.-The USB plug is lit. While it is nice to have some light behind the computer, it is also a problem. The light on the USB plug cycles through various colors and is not controlled via software, which is annoying. Plus, if you don’t cover it up with tape, the ambient light from behind your machine can clash with your rig’s color scheme. Sometimes the USB light wouldn’t illuminate at all, still haven’t figured out the rhyme or reason behind this.The Bad:-Mouse feet were scratchy out of the box. Scratchiness for lateral movement went away in about ten minutes of gameplay. Vertical movements (up-down on mousepad) never went away completely but didn’t stay bad enough to be noticed without specific attention being paid to it.-Scroll wheel rattles but not really noticeable in-game, have to shake it deliberately to notice, but still significant.-Sensor Spinout. The sensor spun out fairly easily playing Quake and stuttered at times playing CS:GO. For some reason it seemed to quickly recover in CS:GO and not in Quake. Spinout happened at low enough speeds that I suspected a 5050 sensor was used (30 IPS), but the finer point precision of the 5050 wasn’t there and the G300’s specs state a 60 IPS malfunction speed. I think this mouse is only viable in FPS for fingertip players using 1200+ DPI.-Precision is something that is notably lacking vs a 3366. I noticed it most in word docs, sometimes it would take just a little more effort to place the cursor in the middle of a word/paragraph when editing. Switching back to the G502 when word processing confirmed the 3366’s superiority. Accuracy was only marginally better than the A-9800 in my accuracy testing with a score of 80%. (For reference 3366 mice usually score in the 90-93% range on my accuracy test)-LOD and Sensor Placement: I did not open the mouse up for the review. Even though I almost never ruin mouse feet when taking a mouse apart and even though it came with an extra set, I don’t feel like messing with it because I can see using this mouse a lot on one of my rigs (maybe even work) in the future – I find it that comfy. Because I didn’t open it up I can’t say definitively what sensor is used. My guess is it uses a 3050, but unlike some over implementations of the 3050, LOD out of the box was around 2 DVDs, so that is acceptable in itself. However, the LOD is made worse by the fac the sensor is positioned toward the rear-third of the mouse. This means that on occasion the cursor jiggle of setting the mouse down can throw off your aim in some cases. This mouse was not at home in Quake. Yes, I eventually adjusted after a couple days, but LOD eats milliseconds you could spend doing other things.-Virtually no feedback on the DPI button and required moderate force to actuate. There is literally no click and nearly imperceptible movement. May be a defect, but not a huge negative if you rarely use this button.-Side buttons are easy to get to but feel a little on the cheap side due to having slight pretravel and a good deal of post travel. So long as you don’t mash the thumb buttons in you will have no issues.-No way I could discern to map generic keys to the mouse buttons in software. There is a macro option that you can use, but it'll take longer.-No on-board profiles. There are five that can be stored in software, but if you restart your computer the mouse would reset to its defaults until I opened and closed the driver software. That is moderately annoying but was not a huge deal for me personally since I usually only fully turn off my computer once or twice per week.The Conclusion:Possibly the best value for a mouse under $10 I’ve seen. The price drop from 25 to 9 bucks says “inventory liquidation” to me and I hope it isn’t an indication that Giyach is done. I definitely hope to see more products from this company in the future and I’m a fan of the little touches that came with this purchase. As it is, the G300 will get used more than the price tag implies because the shape and materials are so spot-on. That says a lot given the size of my mouse collection. It very much feels like an ergo (better) version of the Revel, and I am a fan of the Revel. I recently gave the Logitech G203 an 8.7 on the Nit-Noid scale. Even though the G203 is technically a far more capable mouse than the G300 and better quality overall, the G300 can get you through an FPS game without spinning out (at high DPI settings) and I much prefer the G300 for general use and casual gaming. In an era where $150 mice are a thing, it’s nice to know a $9 mouse can put a smile on your face.Nit-Noid Rating: 8.8Bang for the Buck: A

I love its contoured shape
I’ve been using deathadder for about 2 years and a half now and I figure that I may need a back up in case that my deathadder quite working. I was orginally interested in zowie ec-2a. I picked up this one because it has a similare shape of ec-2a and a much lower price. I figure that why don’t give it a shot if it’s not a good fit I can return it anyway. So I did it and I’m glad I did it. I have a 18cm hand, so yes small hand. I use claw grip and this mouse fits me perfectly fine. Its shape is like the clasicc microsoft intellemouse explorer 3.0. The coating feels good. I think its shape would be perfect for all grip style whether its claw, palm or fingertip as long as you have a small or midium hand. And it’s weighted perfectly at about 85g without cord, not too light nor too heavy. With its 400dpi choice combined, this is like a value combo set for a competive fps player, I can aim more precise and react faster. It uses the same swicth as Zowie ec-2a Hunao switches. It works perfecty well, very responsive. But it is a little stiffer and louder though and it requiers a little bit more force too. But the tactile feedback is actually asesome. As far as its sensor goes, the description on the manual says it uses A814. I’ve never heard of it, but it is precise, no lagging at all, even compared to my deathadder. The lift distance’s good too. I’ve been using it playing overwatch for a couple of days, it really impressed me. The building quality is great too. It is light, but it doesn’t feell cheap-made at all. I squeeze it and it has no squeaky sound which is great. And its cord is something new. It’s soft and tangle-free. I’ve never come across a cord like this but I love it. Overall, this mouse is beyond what I expected. For less than 30 dollars, this is a bargon. If you’re a hardcore gamer, especially a fps gamer, playing CS:GO, Quake, Overwatch, looking for a budget mouse, or a back up or even your first gaming mouse. You should definetly get this. Considering its price and its value, this is the best mouse I’ve ever owned. Give it a shot and you’ll be amazed.And I will update the review if something goes wrong.

Good but
The mouse was good for me on ps4 fortnite,but it broke in like 3 months,don’t get me wrong it’s a good mouse but the wire must have broke or something because when I plug it in the mouse lights don’t show and on my ps4 say mouse disconnected,overall it’s a good mouse.

Great mouse but annoying feature. 😑
Very good mouse but the USB glows and changed colors it's super distracting and irritating. The mouse has very good customization options but the USB light can't be changed, not even turned off. The red glow is the only one I can tolerate, I actually like it, but it changes every 5 seconds.

VERY comfortable mouse, with non-functional buttons!
Right off the bat, I was a little concerned that the mouse may not be up to my standards. I play in a high-ranking tier of Overwatch and play competitively in other FPSes such as PUBG and Fortnite; so, the functionality of my mouse is incredibly important.When I first hooked the mouse up, everything seemed fine. I found setting up the mouse to be a bit different than anything I'd experienced. Typically, you go into the mouse control panel and just click one of the buttons to change what it's bound to. This mouse requires you to record a keystroke in a special 'macros' area, if the key you want is not in their pre-defined list.That part wasnt even that complicated though, and with that aside, the shape of the mouse felt EXTREMELY comfortable in my hand. This was the feature I liked best about the mouse, and was the reason I was so dissapointed when I had to send it back. It really does have a nice fit and feels very smooth!Now for the final drawback that forced me to send it back. I had bound keys to the side buttons, but when you press them in sometimes they dont respond or there is a delay. The buttons also feel *incredibly* cheap and unnatural when pushed in. When I needed abilties to be cranked out quickly, this mouse just wouldnt perform.5/5 for comfort, but 1/5 for functionality due to the side buttons.

Excellent product for the price.
Bought this one as a Christmas gift for my nephew but had to try it out myself since I've never owned a gaming mouse. I was impressed with the comfort and how easy it was to use, and it's much lighter weight than I expected. He'll be able to easily ustomize 6 buttons (including the click of the scroll wheel) and it's very responsive.

Everything is perfect about this mouse except for one *IMPORTANT* thing
Everything is perfect about this mouse except for one *IMPORTANT* thing.The sensor. It is a cheap optical sensor that can only track up to 60 inches a second. For a low sensitivity gamer you will spin this thing out fairly easily. So for the games it is advertised for it is worthless to a large portion of the community. If you are a high sense gamer who mainly aims with the wrist then this will be decentish.....which brings me to my second point. This has MASSIVE angle snapping. It is hard to not draw a straight line and it feels like the mouse is constantly tugging your cursor to what it thinks you want to do. A huge no-no in FPS games.I spoke with Giyach about these issues and asked if there is a firmware / sofware fix for either of these issued. They replied no, although they are currently working on upgrading this mouse with a new sensor. No timeframe on it and they could be lying for all I know.If this had a good sensor it would be 10/10. The shape is great, buttons are great, software is functional, and it has a decent price. If they put at least a 3300 pixart sensor in it and charge 30 bucks they will have a massive following.As of now it is basically a paperweight 0/10 for CS:GO. (keep in mind, if it were advertised as normal mouse or moba mouse I would have rated it higher, it's advertised as FPS and fails in that area so 0/10)
