Tt eSports Level 10 M Pro Reviews

In the end, the Level 10 M is a mouse geared towards high dollar elite gamers. Like the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." Spend a little more and you often get a little higher quality. The Level 10 M is definitely a high quality mouse. It has a stellar build quality that matches up to the price and doesn't leave too much to be desired. The design of the mouse itself is what ended up being the ultimate flaw for me. Like I've mentioned a few times already, I never did find comfort with this mouse. Although I have so many points to change to make the mouse fit my hand, it just never did. It felt awkward out of the box and even a couple weeks later I'm still not feeling the mouse. The hat button was the one returning issue that I almost kicked the habit of bumping. It sits out just a bit too far, but resting your thumb on the aluminum extrusion prevents the accidents a bit. The mouse is not a fail, don't get me wrong. There are a few things that I found annoying, and I've shared those thoughts with you. You and I find comfort in different ways and like and hate different products; so don't take what I have to say as a sole judgment to buy or not buy this mouse. The real ticket to getting what you want is to try out the product. After reviewing so many products, it's hard for me to think of buying a keyboard or mouse without playing with it first. A lot of times you can't try them, which is why I'm here: to tell you my opinion of the mouse. That's also why you should feel free to ask me questions I may not have covered. Overall, the Level 10 wasn't my steak and potatoes on the plane ride, but it was definitely a chicken sandwich compared to the sip of coke and cookie in economy class.

The Level 10 M mouse is a peripheral for those who want to stand out and brag about it. It has a high concept design. The idea of an increased air flow worked, and the mouse compensates the heavy weight with the agile hollowed-out body and the precise laser sensor. However, the design got in the way of comfort; palm-grippers won’t find niches for the thumb and pinkie to rest on. The joystick-like button is a great idea, but it’s too near the thumb. And the software interface doesn’t match the mouse’s stylish design.

The Level 10 M mouse may impress with its unusual appearance and features, but its ergonomics aren’t tailored to everyone and its high price is displeasing.

Thermaltake, a company usually known for their diversity in computer cases and other accessories, had their Tt eSPORTS division (gaming gear) team up with BMW engineers to bring a new type of mouse to the table. Just from first glance it is obvious that much research and development went into this product. Starting at approximately $90, it is available now at online outlets.

Input peripherals can be an interesting subject to tackle in these tiny bite size reviews. It's difficult to quantify strict performance, an issue ameliorated somewhat by the fact that actual performance (dpi, etc.) can often take a distant backseat to user comfort and the software included. Comfort is a very subjective thing as well; a mouse that's enjoyable to use for one person may be incredibly uncomfortable or even downright painful for another. High performance gaming mice can complicate things, and mice like the Thermaltake Level 10 M even more so.

At the end of the day, this mouse sells on style and quality rather than function and value. If it's the kind of thing that gives you a special feeling when you see it sitting on your desk, or when you use it, then it might be worth it for you.

Sadly though, we have to come back to the inevitable price premium added by the BMW endorsement. At £100, it's a vastly overpriced mouse. The R.A.T 7 offers a similar configurable prospect, but comes in at £65, and has proper buttons.

Like the £100 Razer Naga Epic, the massive price tag of the Level 10M puts it at a very niche end of the mouse market, as £90 is simply way more money than most people are willing to put towards their humble desktop rodent. The simple fact is that high-quality, feature rich gaming mice can easily be found for less than £40. The Level 10M looks the part thanks to the design and the materials used, and the degree to which you can fine tune it is admittedly excellent. However, comfort is an important factor with mice, and we couldn't see ourselves enjoying the impact long gaming sessions with the Level 10M would have on our hands. Even gamers with the dosh to spare would be better suited with a variety of well featured comfortable and cheaper alternatives.
