The UtechSmart VENUS Pro is a good budget-level wireless gaming mouse. It has a comfortable, right-handed shape, but because of its width and button placement, it's only suitable for medium and large-sized hands using a palm or claw grip and extra-large hands using a fingertip grip. It has a wide range of CPI, adjustable by increments of 100, and a very low lift-off distance. Unfortunately, it has high click latency compared to other wireless gaming mice, so it may not feel responsive enough for fast-paced or competitive gaming. Also, while the sensor on our unit is reasonably consistent, it's moderately inaccurate and undershoots the set CPI somewhat during slow cursor movements and significantly during faster movements. There's customization software that allows you to adjust a range of settings; however, it's only compatible with Windows and only allows you to have one custom profile at a time.
Our Verdict
