The DELUX M625 is a wired gaming mouse with a right-handed shape, two side buttons on the left, rubberized grip panels on both sides, and an additional button on the top of the mouse to the left-hand side of the left-click button. It feels well-built, though there's a slight rattle when you shake the mouse. It's well-suited for all grip types but isn't suitable for small hands using any grip type. Performance-wise, it has a very consistent sensor, and you can adjust the set CPI by increments of 100 within a very wide range. It also has a low minimum lift-off distance, though some may prefer it lower. Unfortunately, it's heavy, and it has high click latency for a gaming mouse.
Our Verdict
The DELUX M625 is decent for office and multimedia work. It feels well-built and has a comfortable, right-handed shape well-suited for all grip types. However, it isn't suitable for small hands. It also has an impressive number of programmable inputs. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any wireless connection options, and its mouse wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and doesn't have a free-scrolling mode.

While the DELUX M625 might be a good FPS gaming mouse for some thanks to its great build quality and very comfortable design, unfortunately, it's quite heavy and has high click latency for a gaming mouse. Also, its braided cable is somewhat stiff, and its mouse feet don't glide as smoothly as some FPS mice. That being said, its right-handed shape is well-suited for all grip types and all but small hands. Its sensor is also very consistent, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 100 within a very wide range. It also has a low minimum lift-off distance, though some gamers may prefer it lower.

The DELUX M625 is satisfactory for MMO gaming, but it doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO gaming mouse, and it has high click latency. Nevertheless, you can reprogram almost all of its buttons using the companion software, and it feels sturdily built. It's also suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes. Performance-wise, it has a very wide CPI range, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 100. The lift-off distance is also low, though not as low as on some gaming mice.

The DELUX M625 scores decently for ultra-light gaming, but it's significantly heavier than what we'd consider a lightweight mouse, and it has high click latency for gaming. It also has a somewhat stiff braided cable, and its mouse feet don't glide as smoothly as some gaming mice. That said, it feels well-built and has a comfortable, right-handed shape that's well-suited for all grip types and all but small hands. Performance-wise you can adjust the CPI by increments of 100 within a very broad range, and it has a low minimum lift-off distance, though some gamers may prefer it lower.

The DELUX M625 is inadequate for travel as it's fairly bulky and may not fit in most laptop cases. It's also a wired-only mouse that you can't connect wirelessly, making it cumbersome to use in tight spaces like buses, trains, or planes. That said, it feels well-built and has a comfortable right-handed shape suitable for all grip types and all but small hands. It also has onboard storage, meaning that you can use your custom settings on computers without the software installed.

Test Results
The polling rate options on the DELUX M625 are 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz.
You can program all of the buttons on the DELUX M625 except for the left-click. You can also configure five CPI settings per profile using the software and cycle between them using the CPI button behind the scroll wheel by default.
All default button functions on the DELUX M625 work in both Windows and macOS. However, the button to the left of the left-click button acts as a redundant left-click button by default. As there isn't any compatible software for macOS, Mac users can't reprogram this or any other button.
