Sharkoon Drakonia II Gaming Mouse Review

Sporting a flashy dragon scale print, the Drakonia II from Sharkoon seems perfectly suited to MMO gamers. The aesthetics are certainly interesting but will have the potential to cause a bit of a Marmite-like rift with users. The Drakonia II does feature a number of interesting additions, such as RGB lighting and a total of 12 programmable buttons, so at £36.99 could this be a good option for your next gaming mouse?

KitGuru says: Priced at £36.99 the Drakonia II represents pretty good value for money, with features like onboard profile storage and an internal weight tuning system for a mouse that’s more MMO favourable. If you find the Dragon scale print to be pretty fun, and unique, it’s definitely one to take a look at.
