Product Description
The new Nixeus Revel Optical Gaming Mouse is designed to keep up with gamers who play at high speeds without overcrowding the form factor. With a PixArt PMW3360 optical sensor, this mouse is packed with eight preset DPI settings that span from 400 on the low end up to an impressive 10,800 on the high end—and each setting illuminates the Revel’s LED lights with a different color Read More
Having used this mouse for 4 years at this point, I can honestly say I'll keep using it until it dies and crumbles into dust.
It's very light and the sensor is very accurate. Overall a great hand feel and very comfortable to work with for 8-9 hours a day, even if you have big hands like me.
The software to change settings would be the weak point, but once you set up different profiles you can change between them with a physical switch and never really need to touch the software again.
Having read so many great reviews on this mouse, I picked it up and was happy with how great it looked. The plastic exterior and plastic scrollwheel was a little disappointing, it felt a little cheap to me compared to the mice I've had before (MX518, G500 and Sensei Raw, which whilst plastic, didn't feel quite as 'thin' and cheap as this).
There is little drag with the mouse cord, so getting a new cable is recommended.
After using this for 3-4 months, my scrollwheel started squeaking, it sounds as if it has been worn out (I recorded a video here - https://streamable.com/ggtoc) . This has never, ever happened to me with a mouse so that was quite a surprise! If anything, I've been using my PC less than I used to so it's definitely not due to overuse. I've contacted Nixeus support based on MD's advice and will edit this review once it has been resolved.
Update: I contacted Nixeus per Massdrop's advice as the warranty is with the manufacturer. This was on July 11th, 4 months after I received the mouse. On August 13th my replacement mouse is finally on its way. The mouse is okay, the software is kind of clunky, good bang for buck but the quality is low to medium.
Update 2: 8 months into my replacement mouse, the mouse wheel has started squeaking again. Won't be going back to this mouse.
luv_sicCan confirm the squeaking scroll wheel. If you scroll slowly or quickly it's fine but it squeaks when scrolling at a normal speed. Pretty annoying.
qwerzyThat's exactly it! It became increasingly annoying as the problem got worse. I forgot to include the support email address which is info@nixeus.com, I was able to get in touch with peter@nixeus.com who organised my replacement after sending through video evidence of the squeaking. Hope it works out!
It's comfortable for my medium sized hands. It feels subjectively precise in games and during usage. The different settings for DPI is neat but not really something I use since I've found the DPI that I like and I stick with that since cycling through all the settings to get back to it is a bit of a chore. When I do, the colour feedback is great, but it makes me take the focus off the screen. Buttons feel pretty good quality, but the bearing surface for the scroll wheel has started to squeek slightly, which is a bit annoying. All around good value with a few drawbacks.
- The switches are very responsive with minimal travel. Letting you press them very, very fast.
- The scroll wheel is good, not too heavy not too light. the button is fine, I use it often when gaming with no issue.
- The mouse is very accurate.
- No need for software. Works out of the box perfectly fine.
- The mouse fits my large hand perfactly. This is quite a low profile mouse but I find it very comfterable and easy to manage in high pace games.
- The mouse is light.
If you like side buttons. This mouse has 2, they are small and above the thumb. Not the best buttons, you kinda need to roll the thumb in to them.
