Onto the bottom of the Azurues, there are a few features worth mentioning: four Teflon feet for durability and smooth gliding, a dpi adjustment switch (400, 800 and 1600 dpi settings), a weight system and an optical sensor.

Unlike many other gaming mice that use laser, the Azurues uses an optical engine. From my experience, laser mice provide more accurate but blockier tracking whereas optical mice provide accurate but smoother tracking. This varies from mouse to mouse, however.
Like most optical engines, there is a red glow when the mouse is powered. On the right bottom-side of the Azurues, there is a 3-setting switch that adjusts the dpi between 400, 800 and 1600. For most users, the 800 dpi setting will suffice, but some gamers might prefer the 1600 dpi for optimal mouse sensitivity. Even at 1600 dpi, the Azurues provided accurate tracking without skipping.

Although a basic gaming mouse, the Azurues also sports a feature seen on more expensive products: an adjustable weight system. The Azurues has three weights of 4.5 grams each. The total adjustable weight of the Azurues is 13.5 grams, which is very underwhelming compared to Logitech G500’s 27 gram adjustable weight system (Link: Logitech).
Without the weights, the Azurues is a fairly light gaming mouse. With the extra 13.5 grams, the Azurues does not have much heft, which might disappoint some gamers looking for a heavier mouse.
Other than the weight system, the Azurues has four large Teflon feet. They are well positioned at the four corners of the mouse and they glide very well over most surfaces such as cloth, plastic and wood.

The weight system is made of three 4.5 gram blocks. The lid and the rubber holder can be easily removed from the Azurues (fingernails optional).
