Tt eSports current portfolio includes three gaming mice: the Black, the Azurues and the Black Element. Like the Black Element, the Azurues is a large ambidextrous mouse that works with both the palm grip and the fingertip grip. Although being a fingerprint magnet, the rubber coating of the Azurues allows the hand to comfortably grip the mouse.

The optical sensor allows accurate and smooth tracking on common surfaces, and the Teflon feet lets the Azurues glide effortlessly across these surfaces.

The dpi setting of the Azurues can be adjusted between 400, 800 and 1600 dpi with the dpi switch at the bottom of the mouse. By default, the sample rate of the Azurues is 500 Hz, providing decent responsive tracking.

The three buttons of the Azurues (left, right and middle buttons) are very easy to depress and each click with a soft dull click. The scroll wheel spins very smoothly and doesn’t squeal at all.



In terms of cons, the dpi switcher is inconveniently located at the bottom of the mouse. There is also the useless “pause-break lightning system”. Furthermore, the mouse is not as comfortable as expected when using the palm grip. The front of the mouse is not curved downwards enough and this puts strain on the forearm.

In terms of pricing, the Azurues can be found for as low as US$39.99 (Link: Newegg). This puts the Azurues at a price range full of competition. A direct competitor of the Azurues is the Razer Abyssus (Link: Vortez). Both of these are ambidextrous gaming mice. Performance is comparable between the two, but the overall comfort of the Razer Abyssus is better. Nevertheless, the Azurues has an edge with its braided USB cable and its weight system.

When considering non-ambidextrous mice, there is a plethora of mice to choose from below US$40, such as the Gigabyte M6980 (Link: Vortez), the Microsoft SideWinder X3 (Link: Microsoft) and the legendary Logitech MX518 (Link: Logitech). The three previously mentioned products are respectable gaming mice that provide comparable value to the Tt eSports Azurues. It is worth remembering that an ambidextrous mouse does not usually provide as much comfort as a right-handed gaming mouse for right-handed gamers.

All-in-all, the Tt eSports Azurues is a good gaming mouse that works best with the fingertip grip. As such, it is awarded the Vortez Silver Award.
