Sharkoon expands their lineup of the new Skiller series and introduces an optical gaming mouse: The Sharkoon SKILLER SGM1 Gaming Mouse, with an optical PixArt PMW3336 sensor with up to 10,800 DPI. Five quickly accessible macro buttons provide decisive advantages for demanding gamers, who appreciate the benefits of comprehensive programming.

The SGM1 offers, in addition to its stylish ergonomic design, a seven-step weight tuning system. Using the six weights, each weighing four grams apiece, the weight of the mouse adjusts in seven increments between 106 to 130 grams. No tools are required; the spring-loaded locking mechanism on the bottom allows easy access to the weight tuning system tray. Durable Omron switches in the left and right mouse buttons promise stability, even during continuous use. The maximum polling rate is 1,000 Hz; lift-off distance is 2 mm. The optical aspects were also well thought-out, the RGB illumination of the mouse wheel and SKILLER logo are fully customizable. The SGM1 connects via a textile braided cable in a black-blue design with gold-plated connector, which offers sufficient room with 180 cm.

Create up to six different DPI steps using the including gaming software and cycle through them on the mouse via its DPI switch. The LED DPI indicator informs the user of the selected sensitivity of the sensor. Furthermore, through the software settings the RGB illumination, polling rate, double-click and scroll speed, angle snapping and axis sensitivity can all be cared out. For difficult shortcuts while gaming or during repetitive office work, the SGM1 offers 12 programmable buttons. This includes the illuminated 4-way scroll wheel and macro buttons. A single click can easily execute macros, keystrokes or multimedia comments. Thanks to the white illuminated macro buttons, preferred actions during gaming is always at your fingertips. Once configured, complex key sequences including delays and mouse clicks are saved as complete game profiles in the onboard memory of the SGM1.

The Sharkoon SKILLER SGM1 Gaming Mouse is now available for the suggested retail price of 39.99 euros from authorized retailers. More information, this is the product page.

Remind me more the Logitech G502 Proteus : Even if the overall design have slighty changes.

at least when viewed from the top .

Now looking at the difference on price, if the performance are good, why not, honestly, im not quite sure about sharkoon quality.

Nothing comes even close to Logitech G700s.

- Ergonomic grip with sculpted buttons.
- Thumb rest.
- 4-Way dual-mode mouse wheel (scroll up/down + left/right/down buttons).
- Wireless mode up to 1000Hz.
- Mouse can be used in wired mode.
- Standard AA rechargeable battery.
- Can charge the battery.
- 13 fully programmable buttons.
- Ability to create complex scripts.
- Profile indicator.

Logitech could release G702 and add these improvements:

- Add one extra button to match with gaming controllers, maybe in the form POV (replace 3 top left buttons), or extra button on top right, or as a thumb/slider stick. There is a place for the button on the thumb rest too.
- Faster and easier battery replacement mechanism with one push to "pop it out" or "lock it in".
- Logitech could sell small USB Charger with 2x AA Batteries as a separate add-on to the mouse. It would allow to forget about cable and allow to change battery in 2-3 seconds during the games.
- Inside the mouse, use standard 14-pin connector, instead of soldering two boards together. This would make repair of main buttons (OMRON D2FC-F-7N(20M) Micro Switch) easy and possible.
