About three years ago, the technological development and creation of new models of computer mice slowed down significantly. Especially when compared with the previous stressful period, when new items appeared almost every day, causing a great stir around him. The change in this trend was to blame for the already high technical level, which at some point froze at a certain level. In fact, users have lost interest in buying all new devices, which were only slightly improved. And manufacturers could no longer offer something radically new, since, in turn, they had reached their “ceiling”. Yes, the wheel changed or, in some details, the principle of the device’s operation, vertical scrolling appeared, but previous models were still in steady demand, while new ones ceased to cause keen interest of the buyer.
New in the electronics market
But not so long ago, radically new models appeared on the market. X7 mice that are positioned as gaming. The decision to start their release was dictated by the fact that the remaining categories of users were already fed up with new products. Thus, after much deliberation and search, manufacturers have discovered for themselves a new interesting niche, which no one has seriously dealt with before. Thanks to experience in the field of innovation, companies were able to quickly identify common requirements and bring up the production of highly specialized gaming devices to which the X7 mouse belongs. The path of their evolution, from the creation of the very first - the X-708, to the latest models, turned out to be short. One of the manufacturers, who took on a new difficult task, was the English company A4Tech, the devices of which will be mentioned more than once below.
Some features
I must say that the requirements for the mice for gamers have always been somewhat different from the usual. In connection with the similar requirements that computer games represent, it became clear that the functionality of such a mouse should go beyond the scope of a conventional device. Therefore, over time, new buttons appeared on the case that perform additional gaming functions. Allowing you to quickly change the resolution or make a few clicks with one click.
However, only A4Tech has the latter function so far and is its peculiar “trick”. Also, any X7 mouse should have a convenient shape and a nice body. It is very important that the hand does not slip or get tired during the game. Each manufacturer has developed its own concept on this issue, but some common features are still present. This includes the more massive back, which prevents the palm from drooping and slowing down, the weighting, as well as the shape that allows you to move the X7 mouse with minimal effort - with just the fingertips.
Differences from other mice
The X7 mouse is a universal product that any ordinary computer user will find convenient. But do not forget that it is primarily intended for fans (and professionals) of computer games. What makes the X7 mouse different from other models? Mainly, this is convenience and ergonomics, as mentioned above. Increased strength - such models withstand up to 8 million clicks, which is also important. Part of the electronic filling is supplied by a Japanese company, the devices of which have proven themselves to be of great reliability.
Almost any X7 mouse has additional buttons that can be used in the game by assigning a specific action to them. So the “triple-click button” allows you to shoot several times with one click so as not to click the mouse until it turns blue. Often the scroll wheel is highlighted for convenience. When switching permissions in the game, the color of the wheel changes, which is very convenient, since it does not allow you to get confused. Easy sliding of the device is provided by additional legs made of fluoroplastic. Most models support resolutions from 400 to 2000 dpi, almost all have a very smooth ride. In addition, devices with both a new-fangled laser sensor and a more familiar optical are on the market.
