Creative Sound BlasterX Siege M04 Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2017-04-20

The Siege M04 mouse from Creative takes part of the Sound BlasterX product family and incorporates one of the best sensors on the market: PixArt PMW3360, which we have also found with the Rival 700 by SteelSeries. The product does feature RGB lighting near its base which is configurable via the Sound Blaster Connect application and can be synchronized with other peripherals supporting the Aurora Reactive technology such as the Vanguard K08 or the Sound BlasterX Katana.

On the rear portion, we can see the Aurora LED bar quite clearly:

 

 

 

The left panel of the mouse does hold a rubberized layer for extra grip, but also three programmable buttons: one for Sniper functionality but also the usual forward/back buttons:

 

 

 

On the right panel, we will be able to see another rubber layer with a specially-designed contour in order to allow resting of the pinkie and ring fingers:

 

 

 

The frontal area does show the left/right buttons but also a central black shiny plastic middle segment that does hold the DPI selector along with the DPI step LED lighting; the central scroll wheel is also RGB LED enabled:

 

 

 

 

A quick look on the bottom mouse area does show large PTFE feet in the corners, but also the centered sensor lens; no extra stickers are available here (as most mice do have), while the plastic texture sports an interesting triangle pattern:

 

 

 

The two-meter cable should have enough length for most applications; as we have seen with several high-end peripherals, it is braided:

 

 

 

The cable ends up with a standard USB connector:
