Since this model is using the same PixArt 3389 sensor and Huano switches for the left/right buttons with an endurance of 20 million clicks as with the DM1 FPS, we have had similar experience when gaming in RAGE 2, Dead Space 3 and Diablo 3. The reliable sensor can track optimally without additional acceleration while the mouse weight along with the shoelace cable do complete the experience. An interesting addition is the hardware button for turning off the lighting completely in just a few seconds, while the Basilisk-like DM Shot button is easy reachable for actions that need to be performed quickly, such as Sniper.

The overall plastic quality does not feel as premium as with the offerings from SteelSeries, CORSAIR or Razer but it really gets the job done. If the mouse is used intensively, after a while the PTFE feet will eventually wear off and the extra supplied kit is quite welcome.

The DM5 Blink mouse can be found online for about 39 Euro.
