SADES AXE GAMING MOUSE REVIEW

SADES AXE GAMING MOUSE REVIEW, we recently got our hands on the Sades Axe gaming mouse and have been testing it for a few weeks now on various games and machines and below is our review and thoughts on this little gem. This is a budget mouse and i know what gamers are going to say and that budget stuff never works or feels cheap, well gamers you are wrong and in for a surprise here. https://youtu.be/TNT9Ii_bdZc Style/Comfort Ok so the important one first is this going to look good in my gaming setup, truly YES, the ergonomic design of the Sades Axe gaming mouse with its RGB lighting will fit nicely into any setup, the mouse itself packs in lots of features (which I will get to shortly). Comfort-wise the Sades Axe is a larger style of the mouse on first look however even with my size of hands it is comfy to use and no issues reaching the buttons, I also got our resident gamer girl SmallJazzy to try it out and her comment was that the feel and size was no problem when popping heads on CS: GO. Features As I mentioned the Axe is packed with features that you would normally associate with the more high-end mouses in the market place and the top ones I have listed below 4 programmable buttons - these sit on the left side of the mouse with easy no-look control meaning just have your thumb ready to go and those MMO or FPS games are going to be simple, I recently played some Fortnite with these buttons set to build and God those walls went up quick.
