The landscape of peripherals is vast – with many manufacturers all competing in the same space. If you are a regular reader of KitGuru chances are you have seen a few of the same names crop up. Today however we are looking at a product from Gamdias … a Taiwanese gaming peripheral firm making waves in the East with hopes of expanding their user base into the Western markets.
The product I am looking at today is called the ‘Zeus' and it is designed with MOBA gamers in mind. It features 11 customisable buttons, high DPI and some unique tweak options. It certainly stands out, but is it worth buying?
Features
- 3 independently adjustable side expansions to customize hand size and grip comfort.
- Laser sensor up to 8200 DPI for pixel perfect accuracy.
- 512KB onboard memory for button and profile assignments.
- Selectable polling rate 125 / 250 / 500 / 1000 Hz.
- Heavy-duty 11 million click lifecycle.
- Customizable profile / DPI / ambiance lighting luminance.
- Customize weight with weight tuning system.
- Rapid profile switching key.
- Military grade braided cable with Gold-plated USB connector.
a little late but : moving a thumb to use the side button is never a problem on theses kind of mouse (G600/G602/GXT166/Zeus/ heck even the piece of cr*p that the naga and M.M.O 7/TE are) so it should not be a penalizing factor for a moba mouse (since all of them need to do it like that)
on the opposite i concur with the fact that the Zeus has not enough button … i use a G602 :6 thumb 2 index, (normally the 2 index (G10/G11) are mapped to the DPI shift but they are more useful as skill button or whatever else since the G602 max dpi is 2600 x) ) and even 8 are not enough (for MOBA, barely for MMO a bit short depending on the one you play) going back to a G600 or trying the GXT166 is the only option.
