The Cooler Master CM110 is a good, budget gaming mouse. The build quality feels good overall, but the body and two side buttons feel cheap, and there's a fair amount of wobble in the scroll wheel for a mouse that lacks tilt buttons. Nevertheless, it has an ambidextrous shape ideal for all grip types, though it's best suited for smaller hands. Performance-wise, it has impressive click latency, but it has a high lift-off distance, and there's only five default CPI presets that you can cycle through using the CPI button below the scroll wheel. It also doesn't have companion software for adjusting sensor settings or programming buttons.
Our Verdict
The Cooler Master CM110 is sub-par for office and multimedia use. You can't program any of its buttons because it doesn't have companion software for customization, and it lacks any wireless connection options. Also, its scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt functions and doesn't unlock for free scrolling. Despite this, it feels reasonably well-built and has a comfortable ambidextrous shape ideal for smaller hands using all grip types.

- Wired-only.
- Scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and doesn't unlock for free scrolling.

The Cooler Master CM110 is good for FPS gaming. It has great click latency, feels reasonably well-built, and has an ambidextrous shape well-suited for all grip types, though mainly for smaller hands. It has a good cable with decent flexibility and mouse feet that glide well on all surfaces, though they make a slight scratching noise directly on desks. Unfortunately, it has a high lift-off distance, there are only five preset CPI settings, and there's no companion software for customization.
- Somewhat lightweight.
- Great low click latency.
- Feels reasonably well-built.
- Isn't well-suited for larger hands.
- High minimum lift-off distance.
The Cooler Master CM110 is mediocre for MMO gaming as it doesn't have nearly as many buttons as a dedicated MMO mouse. The buttons it does have aren't programmable because there's no companion software for customization. That said, it feels reasonably well-built, has impressive click latency, and has an ambidextrous shape well-suited for all grip types but best-suited for smaller hands. Unfortunately, it also has a high lift-off distance and only five default CPI presets.
- Great low click latency.
- Feels reasonably well-built.
- Isn't well-suited for larger hands.
- Not nearly as many side buttons as dedicated MMO mice.
The Cooler Master CM110 is very good for ultra-light gaming, but it's heavier than dedicated ultra-light mice and almost what we'd consider a heavy mouse. That said, it has impressive click latency, a decent rubber cable, and mouse feet that glide well on all surfaces. However, they make a slight scratching sound directly on desks. Unfortunately, there's only five default CPI presets, and while it has a comfortable ambidextrous shape ideal for all grip types, it's best suited for smaller hands due to its short length.
- Somewhat lightweight.
- Great low click latency.
- Feels reasonably well-built.
- Isn't well-suited for larger hands.
The Cooler Master CM110 is inadequate for travel use as it's fairly bulky and unlikely to fit in most laptop cases. It's also a wired-only mouse, making it cumbersome to use in together spaces like buses, trains, or planes.
- Feels reasonably well-built.
- Wired-only.
- Bulky; may not fit in most laptop cases.
- Lacks onboard memory.
- Isn't well-suited for larger hands.
