14 DAY TRIAL // Quite a few mice have made their appearance this week, like the 700M from Cougar and the AORUS Thunder M7, but the stream doesn't seem to be over. Indeed, EVGA has added its name to the list of product launches.
The company has released the TORO X10 mouse, although we could very well say that there are two mice, the TORO X10 and the TORO X10 Carbon.
The difference is that the latter has a carbon fiber surface, while the other is clad in normal plastic. Whether or not that justifies the price difference is up to you to decide.
You see, the EVGA TORO X10 is priced at $50 / €50 (well, €36 if you go by exchange rates, which are usually unreliable), while the TORO X10 Carbon sells for $70 / €70 (€51).
Anyway, the TORO X10, in either form, has an Avago 9800 laser sensor inside, whose top sensitivity is of 8200 dpi.
It's a level that most people probably won't use, unless they play shooters where sniping is a really precise art. Insofar as killing things, even in virtual realities, can be considered art anyway.
On that note, the polling rate is of 1000 Hz (polling rate determines how often the mouse sends data to the computer, with 1000 Hz equaling 1 ms).
EVGA also used high quality Omron switches for the two main buttons. They should be able to last for over 20 million clicks.
Then, there's the LED color: it can cycle between red, green, blue, yellow, orange, purple and pink. Because you should always be able to customize the thing as you wish, to reflect your mood or personality.
Of course, there might be some mixed hues here and there, since the scroll wheel and side buttons are colored red themselves, but that shouldn't be too large a problem.
Moving on, EVGA's TORO X10 mouse has low friction PTFE feet, as well as 512 KB of onboard memory for storing up to 5 macro profiles.
Finally, the newcomer has an adjustable weight system (from 147 grams / 5.18 ounces to 160 grams / 5.64 ounces) and a silver-coated USB cable.
Needless to say, whichever of the two versions you order, the EVGA TORO X10 mouse will ship with its own driver and software, though fortunately you won't have to install it everywhere you go. Sure, it should go on your home PC, but the mouse's ability to store macros should let you attend LAN parties or visit friends for a game or two without having to recalibrate your peripheral. Or at least not all of its settings.
