Cooler Master MM830 Gaming Mouse

With the MM830, Cooler Master clearly wants to show off its peripheral prowess. But extreme DPI levels, loads of RGB and a tiny built-in screen doesn't quite make for gaming mouse excellence.

The Cooler Master MM830 is a capable mouse after some tinkering in the settings, but its high asking price sets it up for competition that’s too steep.

I’m a big fan of the MM830. Its shape is perfect for my hybrid palm/claw grip. The switch to PBT plastic not only feels better to hold but should mean better durability too. The side buttons aren’t exactly “hidden” but do add extra versatility. There’s room for improvement with the OLED screen and the rear thumb button's placement, but the MM830 and the 3360 sensor delivered no matter what genre I was playing.
