Cooler Master MasterMouse PRO L Review

Software & Lighting

The MasterMouse PRO L will work without the software driver, and it has on-board memory that will save your preferred settings for when moving to a new system. However for full control and customisations installing the software in advised.

On installing the software, it promptly updated the firmware without any problems. The GUI is fantastic, and is easy to navigate and find all the features. It reminds me a little of AMD's current software interface with a little bit of SteelSeries Engine thrown in too. There is a good amount of performance and sensor related setting including angle tuning, lift off distance and DPI settings. There is also a surface calibration feature which is great to see.

The LED lighting control is fairly complex, allowing for various customisable layers, enhancing the lighting effects possibilities outside of the standard cycle, static and breathing. The three strips on the side each have their own LED light, so it gives a total of 4 lighting pairs (the three lights on the side are paired with their opposite counterpart, and the mousewheel and rear LED lighting are paired). The colour rendering is impressive, white looks white, and every colour between is vibrant and attractive. Having multiple colours on the go, or experimenting with the 'Star' effect can create a subtle, yet satisfying experience.

As with most gaming software, it wouldn't be complete without a macro recorder, and this one is great. It doesn't provide the same amount of various options as Corsair's CUE, but boy do I love what Cooler Master has done. You get the standard choices of recording delays, no delays, or auto/custom delay, as well as being able to edit later. It records all mouse actions, with exception to the TX, profile switch/dpi switch, unless you reassign them a different function. It even allows you to add mouse tracking/motion.
