But what if things didnt have to be this way?
Well, there might just be.
Yep, you heard that right.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
bench my belovedRazer Viper Ultimateand put the Zephyr through its paces.
Its practically mouse equivalent of asweat, a try-hard design.
If youre into it, thats cool Im just not.
Theres also a button to control the fan at the bottom of the machine.
As you couldve guessed by the placement of the side buttons, this is primarily a right-handed mouse.
One thing I particularly liked about the Zephyr is how light it felt in the hand.
Stuff like that counts when it comes to precision.
Another aspect that helps with precision are the fivePTFE feet at the bottom of the mouse.
On the inside, the Zephyr is on par with other gaming mice.
The difference is software.
It doesnt blow, but it didnt blow me away either.
You get the idea: its a bit gimmicky.
I could hardly feel any air directed at my palm when I tried it at the lower setting.
At best, Ill give a minor edge to the Zephyr.
The mouse will support three modes: 4,000, 7,000, and 10,000 RPM.
Personally, Id like it to be a lot less pulsating, too.
The final blow-off
I cant help but feel conflicted about the Zephyr.
Strip the fan away and its yet another gaming mouse I couldnt care less to try.
Its not that the cooling system is useless I simply expected it to deliver a more palpable experience.
Gimmicks aside, the Zephyr is a solid gaming mouse, which many gamers will like.
So whats the issue, you might ask.
The working prototype I tested had some kinks Zephyr transparently explained it plans to address.
Ive got no reason to believe that wont be the case, but its something to keep in mind.
This could lead to issues.
On the upside, Zephyr ships with a free blower to clean the chassis, so hopefully that helps.
And if you ask me, the answer is not much.
