Alienware 720M Tri-Mode RGB Gaming Mouse Black AU331288

Great gaming mouse, came very well packed and all its accessories in a nice little plastic box inside the main box. Included was also a large and very soft USB cable, braided, kind of in a fabric material (USB type C to A). It took a little to figure out how to use it as it has some nice accessories in the above mentioned plastic box (a little wireless dongle, and magnetic charging adapter to type C usb and a Y type adapter 2-1). The way you do, is use the Y adapter to plug the wireless 2.4 Ghz receiver and the large USB cable on one end, then on the other end there will be some magnets, which easily attach to the little magnetic type C USB male adapter that goes on the mouse. So any time you want to charge it, you just clip that magnetic adapter to the Y one and it ... MoreGreat gaming mouse, came very well packed and all its accessories in a nice little plastic box inside the main box.

So any time you want to charge it, you just clip that magnetic adapter to the Y one and it will start charging the mouse. First time I see this concoction, but its effective and fast for when you want to charge the mouse. Now, the mouse has 4 side buttons (two on each side) positioned symmetrically plus the main two ones (very clicky and sturdy feel), these are symmetrical to, so because of this, it can be considered an ambidextrous mouse (great for people that are lefties). There is an "alien" RGB logo around the area of the palm and it's not that large or on your face (if RGB lighting bothers you, but is fine for me). The mouse is super responsive and accurate (26000 DPI!!) and you can download Alienware's command center to further customize it. The main buttons feel super sturdy and a great tactile clicky feel (almost like a mechanical keyboard switch), maybe it's me that feels them that way, because my previous mouse was so mushy. The mouse wheel feels great too and very responsive. I can't say its made me a better gamer, but I can really feel when I'm clicking it and has never failed me. I highly recommend this mouse, and specially if you are a leftie and looking for a good mouse (I know most mouses are designed for right handed peeps, but this one is for both, not an easy find!).

I've been using wired mice since the 90s. I didn't have any intention of changing my ways, but after collecting a good chunk of credits in the Dell store, I took the dive.Removing the AW720m from its packaging, I quickly noticed how loose the right mouse button felt as if it was just hanging there. Quiet strange since it was very secure in its box. It is not a big deal, but it does feel odd in combination of the stiffer better feeling left mouse button.Also in the box is a collection of cables and pieces. You have a USB C cable and an adapter to plug in its 2.4GHZ Wi-Fi dongle and charge your mouse via magnetic connection. It is quite iffy if you plan on using the mouse like this. If you want a wired experience, I highly recommend forgoing the adapter all ... MoreI've been using wired mice since the 90s.

If you want a wired experience, I highly recommend forgoing the adapter all together and plugging the USB C directly into the mouse.The most important thing about a mouse for me is its comfort. I have no complaints here. It feels very similar to a non-gaming office mouse, but is slightly longer than those that I own for a more flush grip to your palm. The extra function buttons to the left are easy to get to and offer a satisfying click as well. Those found on the right side of the device I disabled as I'm more prone to accidently click them.What tempted me to write this review was how little the input delay is when using its wifi dongle. As someone that has used a direct wired connection all his life, I feel right at home with the responsiveness it offers. It completely upended all my past experience when using a wireless device. With the micro-movements and quick flicks you make with a mouse, it is always by far the most noticeable device when faced with too much input delay. After unplugging my old mouse and substituting it for the AW720m, I was frankly amazed by how seamless the adjustment was.The battery life is incredible as well. I've been heavily using it all week and it is still at 73% charge. I don't have exact data, but out of curiosity, I plugged in the magnetic charge adapter and it quickly reached a full charge. It is convenient enough to have such a long battery life, yet with that snapping magnetic charger, it removes even more minor inconveniences for a premium feeling experience.When it comes to the unique optical mouse left/right main button switches, I didn't notice much of a difference in comparison old spring loaded designs. It does bounce back up faster, but with my right mouse button being so loose, I actually perform worse in FPS games. In my case, I have a slightly defective unit that I can't be bothered to RMA, but even then, you are unlikely to become a Counter Strike pro due to these switches.I've been rambling on for some time and have no idea if Dell has a word limit for its reviews, so to wrap things up, the AW720m is a more than servicable mouse with two function keys on either side for useful macros or keybindings. I love how this gaming mouse forgoes the over-the-top flashiness for a sleek, subdued design. The star of the show is easly the amazing wireless tech. This was a spur of the moment purchase for me, and much to my surprise, that lag-free marketing claim we've seen on wireless products for decades is a truthful statement. I've planned to use this mouse for my laptop, but after a week of testing it, the AW720M is staying right here on my main PC.

This is the first wireless mouse I've owned. I like that you have the option of using the included cord or not, depending on your choice. You can use the removable USB cable to charge the mouse or the mouse can charge wirelessly.You may use the USB-C transmitter (there is also an included legacy USB adapter for older computers) or Bluetooth to connect the mouse to the computer.The biggest thing for me to remember is to turn off the mouse when I'm not using it. Thankfully the mouse doesn't use much power when sitting idle, so even if I forget occasionally, it's not a big deal.For a gaming mouse, I found it to be a bit thin and slippery.

There is a bit of texture on the sides, but I prefer a rubberized mouse for a good grip. The primary button (left for most people) makes a pretty loud clicking sound with each use and has a very mechanical feel. I would expect a mouse from the Alienware brand to feel a bit more subtle in both the clicking noise and the feel of the mouse, since it's intended for use in gaming.I played a few different games to try it out, from simple things like Solitaire that came with my computer, Wolfenstein The New Order (first person shooter) and Torchlight 3, which is similar to Diablo (lots of mouse clicking). It performed pretty well, though I think the smooth sides of the mouse kept me from keeping a good grip on it at all times.You can download the software and manuals for the mouse from Dell, you can customize the mouse for each different game using the software and adjust various setting for the mouse itself.Overall I think it's a good mouse, maybe not the perfect mouse for me because of hand size and texture preference. I think it will be a good mouse for me when traveling with my laptop, since I hate to use trackpads on a laptop.
