14 DAY TRIAL // Performance isn't really that varied for mice, unless it's a hardcore gaming peripheral you're looking for, and even then it mostly comes down to the number of buttons, since all high-end mice have high, adjustable sensitivity. Thus, design ultimately helps would-be buyers decide.
Satechi chose an unusual design indeed when it created the Spectrum mouse. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say it chose an unusual application of a long-used feature: LED lighting.
Instead of a single LED for illumination, the Spectrum Mouse has seven, colored red, green, white, blue, yellow, violet, and turquoise.
The light shines not just through the scroll wheel and border strips, but also the body of the mouse itself. It is made of a partially translucent, shiny, smooth plastic for just that purpose.
Of course, if you don't want the mouse to cycle through colors, you can choose the “Lock” option instead.
That said, the optical sensor of the new peripheral has a resolution of 1,000 dpi, enough for lag to not be an issue.
The light and compact Satechi Spectrum Mouse has a price of $24.99 / €18.64. It could be a great on-the-go peripheral, since it fits into any carrying bag, and even all but the smallest of purses.
