A new thing that is seen with more and more mice is a braided USB cable. Not only do they enhance the overall durability of the cable, the braiding gives the cable style. Also, for anyone that is thinking to carry their mouse around, a braided cable is less likely to get tangled.

Furthermore, the Azurues has a gold-plated USB connector, which should ensure proper USB connection. The cable length is 1.8 meters.



The USB cable is strongly reinforced at its insertion into the mouse. This will ensure that the cable will not break if the mouse is violently yanked, such as when a gamer loses an important match and places his anger onto the mouse.



Once powered up, the mouse will glow red from its Tt plastic window and the middle button. The glow is very dull and it is not strong enough to light the room, which is perfect in my book.

The Azurues features a “pause-break lighting system” according to Tt eSports. In layman’s terms, the “Tt” plastic window at the back of the Azurues will dim and glow intermittently. A cycle of dim-to-dim is about 10 seconds. Seeing as you will have your hand on the mouse most of the time and will thus hide the lighting system, it is kind of useless for Thermaltake to include such a feature.
