The Secret Explorers and the Lost Whales

What I liked:- Instantly, this mouse has a more natural and relaxed position for my fingers and despite its small size, manages to fill my palm and help it feel supported.- The texture of the body is very nice (matte version), that isn't very slippy if you have sweaty hands.- It's very light and almost just feels like an extension of your hand, with little effort to pick it up and move it around.- The side buttons are very tactile and feel just the right amount of springy with nice feedback, and the shape of them is also pleasant.- The cable is also very light and flexible, however due to clumsiness, I managed to nick it with the wire as I was twisting it off.- The lighting on it is nice and there's almost this orb inside that gives off a nice soft glow, of which has very good colour accuracy- The sensors lift-off distance is nice and shallow, so you won't be accidentally tracking when you're pick it up to reposition for a headshot- The body is very sturdy despite the light form factor and reduced material from the honeycomb perforationsWhat I didn't like:- The tension on the left and right mouse buttons feel a bit too light but this is probably something I could get used to as they feel intensionally light as opposed to the kind of light I've felt on defective mice.- The scroll wheel is also a bit weak as there's a noticable bit of give when rolling it forward and can almost feel rattly, with only a tickle of tactile steps.- The price point. Despite the nice ergonomics, this mouse can feel a bit like a toy and as I mentioned before, the scroll wheel and mouse clicks don't give it a very premium experience. I wouldn't recommend buying this mouse for next to £60For someone with 19cm(l) and 10cm(w) hands, this mouse is very comfortable and suitable for palm grip like the description suggests, I would recommend to those looking for a relaxed grip.

Update 2023-02-21I bought another in gloss white, the coating on the gloss I don't mind but I can see how others might mind it, I'm a shrivelled up 40 year old gamer so my hands are nearly dust at this point, but I remember being more greasy in my youth, I think it'd be slippy if you had any grease at all on your hands.I love this mouse so much, so cheap, optical switches, optical wheel, light, comfy. I like it so much I've removed my searches on e-bay for new mice.We need more mice in this price range with these features.***Original Review***I have a few mice, it's a problem.I got the cooler master mainly because it was quite cheap and wanted to give the shape a try, it's super light and accurate, software you get lets you save settings to on board memory so you don't need even more background tasks running.Cannot comment on longevity but I shall update if / when it breaks, I've mice that are 17 years old though that still work so this could be a while....Silly problem list...+ You cannot hold the left / right mouse button down and middle click. I discovered this while aiming down sights in game trying to ping an enemy with my middle mouse, what-the-hell?Apparently it's a thing, it's a problem, you have to disable a setting in the software after updating the firmware. (See picture) This fixed it for me.+ "White" colour in the software is more... very faint pink.+ Mouse wheel makes a weird "tinging" sound only sometimes, scrolling up mainly, it feels weird.However, overall a decent mouse and I greatly appreciate the different shape it offers.

Best mouse shape I've ever used. I have a large hand, and my fingers are long, so most mice are way too small. I have spend way too much money obsessing over finding a mouse with a comfortable shape. I found out that what matters most is not how tall or long the mouse is, but how wide and light it is. So even though this one is one of the smallest mice I own it's actually the most comfortable one. The cable is like a shoe lace, and I actually prefer the feel of the optical switches. I even bought the black version as well just to have a second one.

It's nice and light. I also like the glossy finish on it along with the RGB lighting.

Easily the best mouse I've used. First time using coolermaster that I can remember.Can't find fault with this mouse tbh.-Sensor in this is very accurate-It's much lighter than competing mice-The shape is great though it might not look to be until you use it-Really nice cable-RGB looks good through the holes-Software is great, easy to use and unobtrusive!!Mice I have to compare this to:Zowie za12Zowie za11Zowie ec2 bLogitech g402Logitech g403 normal and heroLogitech pro wirelessRazer viper miniRazer deathadderRoccat kone pure owl eyeRoccat kone xtdRoccat kone pure ultraSteelseries sensi 310Steelseries rival 310I haven't really tried glorious etc but they are all the same as the fk1 so if you don't like that shape there's not much point really.

Pay less than 25 and get a very high (2024) quality sensor and build, lightweight mouse,that is responsive and nicely clicky.The atrocious software never remembers my saved settings, so -Work out your settings to the 400dpi default and it's great.Second best all round mouse to (any of the) Logitech Lightspeed. IMO.
