One of the most interesting features of the Pyra is the configuration utility which closely resembles what we have seen included with their other gaming products in the past. All the settings can be configured in five separate profiles, letting users have different setups for different games or game types.
The main page of the software lets us configure the performance of the mouse. DPI can be set at either 400, 800 or 1600DPI and sensitivity can be adjusted from 1 to 10 using a slider. Scroll speed, tilt speed, pointer speed and double-click speed are also configurable using sliders.
Clicking the ‘Button Assignment' tab lets us change the functions of all the mouse buttons to almost any function we could ask for using the drop down menu. It is also possible to apple your own macros to each mouse button using the ‘Macro Manager' Button. There is also an option on this page to switch between right and left handed modes.
There is also another page which lets users update the drivers to the latest version or to contact technical support.
To gamers, the key area in which a mouse must excel is performance. As the Pyra only boasts a 1600 DPI optical sensor, it isn't really appropriate for high-sensitivity gamers. But a lot of gamers don't require a huge resolution for optimum gaming performance and will be unaffected by this.
During out tests, the Pyra performed well, tracking accurately with no lapses throughout all our tests. When gaming we managed to squeeze around 6 hours of continuous use out of the Pyra. So if you plan to use the Pyra on the move, we would recommend taking the charging cable with you.
That software looks great. very stylish looking. logitech need to improve theirs.
The price is certainly good, ill say that. has stiff competition on the market right now however.
I like their mice, I used one in an event over here recently and was surprised how good the ‘feel’ was. These guys deserve to do well. hopefully we see more reviews over here of their products.
Henry, could you let me know what you think of the build quality overall, compared to say a logitech mouse? is it comparible or weaker?
left handers might like that, looks like a mirror design, or close.
I am really tempted with this, the price is much lower than say a steelseries, if the quality is as good as you say.
I have one of their older products and its still in good shape, I would say these are built just as good as logitech. I will never forget my G7 falling apart. even the cord frayed. Never again. ill stick to steelseries and these guys.
Never heard of them before, but I found their website,. cant believe id never heard of them.
I haven’t heard of Roccat until few months ago (maybe already an year?) when I read a review about their 5.1 headset (Kave)…
I was so interested so I bought the Kave and … damn, what a nice headset! so now I’m waiting for my keyboard/mouse to die so I can check theirs… 😀
