Review on A4Tech XL-747H Gaming Mouse, Blue Spider by Janis Skrindzevskis ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Upset and disappointed, the product is very bad!

After the death of Logitech, which lived a record 9 years of the most severe exploitation (12 hours a day), I decided to take something inexpensive and convenient. I was led by the reviews and bought A4Tech products for the first time. First and last. It doesn’t fit badly in my hand (although it’s 19 cm too big for my palm), but it feels somehow quite budgetary even against the background of cheap Logitech models, although it looks cooler. Plastic is cheaper and oak; the quality of processing leaves much to be desired — crooked edges, different gaps everywhere, squeaks at the joints, some kind of gnawed buttons standing at different heights, not a single even seam, evenly standing buttons, etc. For many, the coating begins to peel off and overwrite quickly, I did not find this, I sold it a couple of days after the purchase. Also, for many, the gum under the thumb falls off. The right button sits above the mics, and even if you lightly touch it, it rattles against the case; the sleeve with weights rattles inside the case during sharp jerks; the mics themselves are rather tight and loud, they are given into a cheap plastic case and sound even louder. The two side buttons are generally made through the fifth point, I don’t know how to press them - they are too tight, too high and at a large angle, the whole mouse crawls to the right when you try to press them. With a dynamic game, it’s generally unrealistic to use them, even when surfing I can’t squeeze them the first time. The little Anti-Vibrate button on the bottom is a total failure. More or less quietly, it works only on a good rag rug, on everything else, it rattles the wildest while moving the mouse, catching the edges on the surface. I just sealed it with duct tape Cable is a separate issue. This is the most rigid and disgusting cable of all mice that I have used. It does not bend at all, it pulls and slows down the mouse all the time. If you move the mouse to the side and release it, then it itself rolls back a couple of centimeters, pulling its cable so strongly. This is the most problematic part of the XL-747H. Bottom line: for the old price of 500-600. - tolerably, but for 1500-2500. highly do not recommend to anyone.

Pros
  • Price (before); Form (and even then for an amateur); A large number of programmable buttons, macros, etc.; Built-in memory remembering settings; The ability to change the weight of the weights; Lots of spare legs included
Cons
  • Terrible, disgusting cable, extremely oaky; The Anti-Vibrate button located at the bottom rattles very loudly with any movement of the mouse; Backlash of the main keys, especially the right one; Cheap, oaky and "voiced" plastic with poor edge processing and crooked gaps; The keys are tight and loud; The clip with weights dangles into the cases and rattles; Absolutely unusable side buttons, tight, located at an uncomfortable angle and flush with the body, it is extremely difficult to press them;
