The backlight so-so wanted to set it to bright purple, but all it was was a pale red. And so happy with the purchase for their money, an excellent choice. Its pros: Comfortable, sits well in the hand, the wheel is convenient to use (it’s the most for dota) There is also a 2nd wheel (but I didn’t check it out) Got cons: There is no rubberized coating, when the hand sweats the mouse starts to slip out of the hand. At first, it was terribly inconvenient to play shooters because the mouse constantly slid, but you get used to it over time.
