Cyber Snipa Stinger

The gaming industry has been gaining momentum at an unheard of pace. Peripherals such as mice, keyboards, game pads, and other gaming related accessories have been selling at a quicker pace than before due to people wanting to have the best fragging equipment to be able to pwn some nubs and get insane head shots. For the most part, I do believe that these gaming peripherals do improve your gaming skill level compared to using the standard equipment. Today we will be taking a look at Cyber Snipa's Stinger mouse, their signature product. Let's see how well this mouse performs in games, every day use, and even Photoshop!

Packaging

Cyber Snipa did a great job with the packaging of this mouse. It very clearly shows the product and informatively lists all the details about it.

The back of the plastic encasing tells you anything and everything that there is to know about this mouse, the pre-installed feet, and also the place that holds the weights should you choose to put them in.

This is the side of the box and it once again lists quite a few specifications of the mouse. In the very middle you can also see the weight storage box for you to keep track of the weights when you aren't using them.

This is the right side of the mouse, I'm not sure what the red dot is but it goes away when I change to a different profile.

Here we've got the left side of the mouse. Looks very similar to the right side with the same style of red grip. The left side does add two buttons that are macro programmable.

This front-view of the mouse shows us the that the mouse is sloping downward towards the right side. This is to make it more comfortable to the right handed user, and this is accomplished very well!

Here I have the weights installed. The black rubber thing holding the weights in was glued tot he weight storage box, but i just popped it out and plopped it right back in the mouse, as you can see. The mouse was extremely light, but with the weights installed it makes it feel a ton better under the hand.

Please excuse my lack of photography skills in some of these pictures, but I think I get the points across. The top right should show the smaller light being green, but that's might fault. Each color represents a profile which you are able to configure the various buttons to do different things and change the DPI of the mouse, and also allows you to make gaming/every day use/Photoshop profiles to make your life easier in this area. DPI/color profiles can be changed very easily by pressing the small button just to the right of the scroll wheel in the pictures above. This is great for you on the fly DPI changers!

This is the software that you can control mouse functions from, and as you can see it looks smooth and is very to the point.

Testing

The way I tested this was by using Photoshop and zooming in really closely and trying to paint individual pixels. This showed me that this mouse is very stable when it came to something tedious such as this. Even with my shaky hands I was able to use the brush tool and fill in ONLY the pixels I wanted to giving me my desired end result.

Test #2 consisted of me just doing my everyday task such as surfing the internet, checking my email, and also browsing through all my music to find a song that would please me at the time. This mouse held up to my daily routine and passed with flying colors. I generally tend to keep the DPI level on all my mice at the max even for daily use and this mouse was no exception. Although at 3200 DPI, this mouse is the fastest mouse I have used to date, it had no trouble scaling my 1900x1200 resolution monitor with very little effort.

The third and final round of testing including some major fragging of course, by playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Far Cry 2, and Left 4 Dead, I was able to come to the conclusion that this mouse was for sure frag worthy. With this mouse I was getting an average of 2 more kills to every death than I hed been with my previous gaming mouse. In the gaming section, I am extremely convinced that this is the best gaming level mouse I have used to this date, and with that, I give this mouse a rating of 10/10.

Cons:

I was unable to find absolutely anything wrong with this mouse. This amazing looking mouse was designed for gamers, and it suceeded in this field. On top of that the perfomance for everyday tasking and even Photoshop was impeccable. Since this mouse got a 10/10 (PERFECT), it also is qualified for our Golden Ghost Award!!
