OCZ Behemoth Laser Gaming Mouse Review

👤by Vinh Thai Comments 📅26-06-09
Conclusion
In terms of tracking precision, the large dpi range of the Behemoth allowed for quick movements to land headshots and for slow movements to gain a perfect image cut. Tracking performance from the double laser sensor was phenomenal. Gamers will be pleased to know that the mouse will not limit their gaming potential, if not increase it.



Elsewhere, comfort is the greatest selling point of the mouse. The Behemoth was designed with right-handed users in mind, and it does not fail to disappoint them. Even after lengthy usage of the mouse, the Behemoth did neither feel awkward nor uncomfortable to use. With its particular shape, the right hand could snugly grip the mouse like a glove. The added rests for the ring finger and the pinky were highly welcomed, and further increased overall comfort. Although gripping the mouse by the palm grip style rendered the hand prone to heating up and sweating, the mouse remained easy to grip thanks to the rubberized surface.

As a gaming mouse, customization is expected from the Behemoth. As it was found out, the simple and hassle-free software included with the Behemoth allowed for a multitude of functions to be assigned to the mouse\\\'s buttons. Customized settings can be saved onto the on-board memory under 3 different profiles to allow for instant usage without the need of special software, thus staying true to the term \\\"plug-and-play\\\";. Asides from that, the weight system allows the mouse to be used by nearly anyone.

The OCZ Behemoth was made with three aspects in mind: tracking precision, comfort and customization. Without a doubt, OCZ Technology has hit the right key on each of these aspects, and has made a near-perfect computer mouse for right-handed users. To sweeten the deal, the OCZ Behemoth provides exceptional value by being easily found for $25.00CAD/15EUR, which is nearly half the cost of popular gaming mice currently on the market.

Needless to say, the Behemoth excels in all perspectives, and it is worthy of Vortez Hardware\\\'s gold award. I hope to see OCZ Technology make headway in the gaming peripherals market in the future, and continue to offer quality products with fantastic value.



Pros
+ Excellent tracking performance; up to 3200 dpi setting, and double laser sensor
+ Exceptional comfort and control; rests and grips for all fingers, smooth scroll wheel with near-perfect tactile feedback, and fabric wrapped cord
+ Extensive customization; up to 3 customizable profiles with macro and script support, weight system, and multitude ways to route the cord
+ Great value; low price compared to other gaming mice
+ Hassle-free and light-weight software that requires no installation
+ Nice blue and red LEDs for dpi mode and profile selection

Cons
- Basic accessories; extra mouse feet would preferably be included
- Bulky; physical size of the Behemoth will fit most hands, but some may find it too large
- Slightly stiff and noisy buttons; however, it only takes a few hours to get used to
- Small mouse feet; Behemoth\\\'s glide would further improve with larger mouse feet
