ROCCAT Savu Optical Gaming Mouse Review

Final Thoughts and Conclusions

All in all this is one of the best mice Ive ever used. I would put it up against any of the famous big-name mice and bet money on it. Of course, a mouse is a very personal item as well so if you dont like it, dont blame me.

If you need your mouse to do a few extra things without adding a slew of buttons you cant reach then look no further. Its at home in a game with highly complex and timed macros as much as it lets you gain some convenience in Office or any other desktop app including Windows.

If you have to have a heavy mouse then youll need to look somewhere else. If youre willing to give something a little lighter a chance I doubt youll be disappointed.

It has more DPI than any one person needs and the grip-providing texture makes ROCCAT Savu very easy to control even though it isnt heavy.

The placement of the side buttons is going to take some getting used to. Its my least favorite thing about this mouse. Disabling one of them helped a bit but retraining my hand is required. Still, given all the other strong points of this mouse I think its worth it. Of all the ways one could implement a side button and make it easy to use without being impossible to bump accidentally, this is the best Ive seen.

Legit Bottom Line: At $51.65 shipped it costs slightly less than the classic Logitech MX518 and far less than many of the Razer mice. This is flat out one of the very best mice Ive ever used.
