CM Storm Recon Gaming Mouse Review (w/ Skorpion Mouse Bungee)

Rating: 9.0.

Building upon the recent success of the Sentinel series, CM Storm has aimed to conquer every segment of the market with the all-round performance-orientated Recon. Intended to offer the utmost in durability, functionality and accuracy, has CM Storm created the FPS gamers’ dream mouse in the Recon?

Equipped with a couple of Omron Micro and one of the finest optical sensors available, Avago’s 3090, ultra-precise tracking and the flexibility of 800, 1600, 3200 and 4000 DPI modes implies that CM Storm’s ambidextrous Recon mouse is perfect for use in a variety of scenarios.

Supplied with red, green and blue DPI-specific and user-customisable LEDs and utilising a non-slip rubberised grip, the CM Storm Recon could be perfect for users wanting a mouse with aesthetic ‘bling’ and functional ‘bang’.

We will be testing the Recon mouse alongside CM Storm’s Skorpion mouse bungee – a seemingly convenient wire-managing, movement-broadening peripheral.

Specifications:

  • Avago 3090 optical sensor with 800-4000 dpi
  • On-The-Fly Lift-Off-Distance adjustments
  • On-The-Fly DPI adjustments
  • On-The Fly USB polling rate adjustments
  • Up to 1.5m/s or 60”/s tracking speed and 20G of acceleration
  • Highest grade Japanese Omron micro switches
  • Extra wide 16-bit USB data path
  • 1000 Hz polling rate / 1ms response time
  • Super Grip coated ambidextrous mousebody

  2. Looks a lot like the Corsair M60 on a budget.

  3. It’s a unisex mouse and bottom line is it works, my only beef with the Recon is then scrol wheel it makes a funny sound.Type your message here…
