ROCCAT NYTH Review

👤by Tony Le Bourne Comments 📅05-08-15
Conclusion

The ROCCAT NYTH is a direct example of how the innovative minds at ROCCAT pushed the brand into the limelight not so long ago. Building on their experiences and looking forward, the NYTH mouse can literally do it all. People love customisation, and the modular buttons allows users to cater for their own style and needs, while the more experimental with access to 3D printers may find themselves taking further steps to create their own unique product. The Swarm software does NYTH justice by giving the ability to fine tune each key, this experience is sure to expand once the SwarmConnect app is available for your smartphone.



Looking deeper, the ROCCAT NYTH certainly delivers that reliable precision gamers need for in game action. Though we also need to consider the downsides.

Available on the market for around £90, some may feel that they didn't get their moneys worth. Yes you get a case full of useful accessories, but many may set the mouse up to their own preference, like with removable weights, then it will stay in one configuration while the rest of the accessories will collect dust somewhere. Due to all of the extra R & D and extra material bumping costs some would question if that cut too far into the quality of the material value. This can be seen with the plastic side buttons, although they are solid and click reliably they fall short of quality feel of the mechanical switches you can find on on the Naga for example. This then raises the question of whether this level of modularity and customisation is ever going to be needed between gamers choosing a mouse based on preference?

If want a mouse that can swap between a palm grip MMO mouse to a fast paced claw grip with fewer buttons, the NYTH is highly capable and for those who jump on board with it will certainly find their perfect mouse somewhere inside.

The ROCCAT NYTH packs solid, reliable performance in a highly customisable frame which is supported by equally customisable software.
