The Marsback Zephyr PRO is the coolest gaming mouse on the market
with its very own fan assist that provides hand respite from long gaming
sessions!
The Marsback Zephyr PRO mouse measures 13.5cm long and has a
gentle hump at the centre of the mouse, which is the highest point (4cm
high) and gradually bows down towards the backside. The Marsback Zephyr
PRO has a narrower front
end (5.5cm) and wider backend (6cm).
The
body of the mouse has been perforated with irregular shaped cutouts
throughout, including the top of the mouse and back sides. The bottom of
the mouse has some cutouts too but, most of the cutouts aren't
perforated, which is nice as this helps the mouse maintain some
weightiness.
There are
two large anti-skid teflon pads on the bottom of the Marsback Zephyr PRO mouse, along with
the optical sensor (PMW 3389) and two flat buttons, which sit
completely flush against the base of the mouse so, they do not stick
out. Bottom facing buttons isn't the most convenient location in
the mouse but it is a clever use of space that helps minimize button
cluttering on top of the mouse.
The Zephyr PRO mouse has RGB lights inside the fan, as well as on the scroll wheel and
bottom rim, which creates a cool glowingeffect around the mouse. The RGB
lighting effects include 6 color changing effects and red solid color
option by default. You can change RGB lighting effects via the Marsback
software.
The weight of the
Marsback Zephyr PRO mouse is 114 grams including the cable, which is the
heaviest part. The cable is non-detachable though, which would have
been great since the Zephyr PRO weighs about 52 grams without the
cable. That said, if this mouse was wireless you would probably have to
recharge too often, due to the power consumption of the fan, making
wired the best option.
The Zephyr PRO power cable has a shoelace style sheath so, it
is flexible and not very stiff, which is perfect for a wired mouse as this minimizes cable
drag and eliminates the need of a mouse bungee. The cable measures 1.8
meters long and has a nice rubbery USB-A plug connector attached to it.
The Marsback Zephyr PRO mouse has a total of 7 buttons, including right/left
click buttons, scroll wheel centre button, DPI button, two left side
facing plastic buttons and two bottom facing buttons to control the RGB
lighting and fan (on or off). The scroll wheel is rubberized and linear (not notched);
hence it rolls smoothly without making noise.
The Omron mechanical switches are responsive
and clicky. The DPI changer button lets you cycle between 7 DPI levels,
400dpi, 800dpi, 1200dpi (default), 1600dpi, 2400dpi, 3200dpi and
16,000dpi. Each dpi level has a specific led color which illuminates the
scroll wheel led.
The Marsback software lets you access additional RGB effects, create
macros, remap buttons, customize profiles (up to 5), lift-off distance,
change polling rate (1000hz max) and
change the stock DPI levels with different ones (between 100dpi and
16,000dpi).
The
Marsback Zephyr PRO mouse has the same drawback as all other honeycomb
style perforated mice and that is dust ingress. The perforations keep
the weight down but it also makes the Marsback Zephyr PRO mouse more
susceptible to damage if water spills on the mouse.
The blowing fan feature works surprisingly well, especially when
the hand is sweaty, creating a peltier-like cooling effect with little noise (6000 r/min fan speed). It is nice
that the fan can be turned off though because if you have cold hands the
fan feature isn't "cdool". The Marsback Zephyr PRO mouse comes with a
nice box presentation, which makes a perfect gift box. It includes a
rubber tie strap, user guide and stickers. You can buy the Marsback Zephyr PRO mouse from amazon.
