Cooler Master MasterMouse PRO L Review

Performance Testing
Setup, Design & Observations
Before starting, it is worth choosing which top shell will work with your grip style best. Be default it is fitted with the slightly shorter 125mm, which is more for Claw or for finger tip grips, while palm grip users will want the additional length of the 130mm top shell. Equipping the longer of the two, I found it good for claw grip still, and felt nice in a palm grip also, though due to the low hump, it made the mouse feel a little smaller, and so true palm grippers may prefer a slightly larger mouse. As a native claw gripper I found that the MasterMouse PRO L was immensely comfortable, and satisfying to hold. It feels as elegant as it looks.

Inside, Cooler Master have used Omron switches, and so the mouse buttons feel great. The side buttons have a nice click to them also, and they are positioned perfectly for my natural grip type, which is a slightly more to the front. As we then inspect the mouse wheel, it has tactile rubber grip that gives great control while scrolling, and it clicks rather nicely too.

Other observations we made as that it was noticeable when the cable was grinding against the mouse mat and various other desktop things the cable shared its space with, this could be due to the long plastic cable strain acting like a resonator, giving force feedback to everything the cable is going through.


Performance
To test out its performance we set it to its maximum DPI, and try it out on various surfaces. The 3360 in our previous experience could pretty much track flawlessly on most surfaces, and the MasterMouse PRO L is no different. From plain black fabric mouse mat, white paper, to glossy coloured plastic and bare desk wood, it could do it all. Though, testing for jitter across its DPI range, it gave a slightly disappointing result. Showing a jittery performance from its lowest DPI and getting worse all the way up to 12K. Though it remained completely usable at its entire range, this is tied with the Corsair M65 PRO Advanced for most jitter seen with the 3360 sensor. Strangely, fast motions resulted in lower jitter. This low speed jitter, especially if you game on a monitor sub-1920x1080, will be significantly noticeable in FPSs if you are aiming via sniper scope. In the main, it remained true and didn't become a hindrance at 2800DPI in CS:GO.
