Built with feedback from a world-leader in the RTS gaming field, the Tt eSPORTS Theron offers gamer-level performance in a variety of virtual scenarios.

A large range of DPI modes coupled with an accurate laser sensor presents the Theron as a formidable adversary to sniper-targeted or vehicle-besieged enemies. The 8-button, multi-profile, macro-touting design exposes a wealth of potential for RTS gamers and their numerous short-cut enhancements.

Inwards-slanting by shape and palm-hugging by nature, the Theron's creatively-engineered design seeps comfort. A palm grip provides simple and swift acclimatisation for users with large hands. The claw grip will require a greater amount of time and increased patience, but we can still see the potential for it to be achieved.

Positioning of the Theron's pair of side buttons was an important decision. Tt eSPORTS chose a good location that allows right-handed users to reach the pair with their thumb, leaving the click fingers to continue with their own task. Left-handed users aren't quite as lucky, as proven by the non-symmetrical button distribution. There is a single button located on the right side, so all hope isn't lost for left-handers wanting to make good use of the Theron.

The 7-colour LED light show creates an attractive and user-changeable appearance. Providing a coloured glow to the Tt eSPORTS ‘Dragon' logo was a subtle but very much appreciated appearance-enhancement.

A set of 5 weights, each with a mass of 4.5g, gives users the flexibility to change the way in which they accelerate and control the Theron.

Our main disappointment when using the Tt eSPORTS Theron gaming mouse came from the less-than-ideal location of its DPI adjustment buttons.

The added inconvenience of reaching for them every time you line up that long range head-shot or carefully select the desired command can become tedious. This is a fundamental issue that will vary dependent upon hand size, but could also have been eliminated by a slight design modification.

At an available price of £47.99, the Tt eSPORTS Theron gaming mouse lies in a very competitive segment of the market. We have been pleased by some of its recent competitors from CM Storm and Leetgion, but the Theron happily stands firm against the opposition by offering its own unique set of features.

Pros:

• Comfort-enhancing design.
• Attractive appearance and LED colours.
• Wide range of user-definable DPI levels.
• Lock for DPI adjustment buttons.
• 5x 4.5g removable weights.

Cons:

• DPI adjustment buttons can be awkward to reach.
• Limited potential for left-handed users.

KitGuru says: Tt eSPORTS has yet again sprinkled their magic formula to create a comfortable, attractive and well-balanced gaming mouse in the Theron.
