Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2020-09-18
We have used quite a bit of mice with Pixart 3389 sensor and even some from Dream Machines (DM1 FPS, DM2 Supreme) and we knew what to expect in terms of tracking. The choice DM made to use a rubberized layer on the entire top cover of the DM6 Holey S is great for comfort and grip, but it will pick up skin oils and lint quite easily, which are quite difficult to remove after a while.
This is a product meant for lefties, so the right side is meant for resting our pinkie finger, without no additional buttons:
A white DM logo can be found in the frontal area of the scroll wheel; as we have seen before with the previous Dream Machines mice, they use Huano mechanical switches for the left/right buttons, with a life span of 20 million actuations:
Surprisingly, the hole pattern does not stop on the bottom, in order to eliminate even more weight; in the central area we could spot the PixArt PMW3389 sensor lens, with a maximum DPI setting of 16000, while the minimum is set to 400; in each corner, we could spot a small PTFE foot, but no replacements are found in the box, as we have seen with other DM mice:
A shoelace-type cable with a length of 1.8m can be also spotted here, which adds quite a bit to the flexibility of the mouse:
While the USB connector does feature a standard design, it is gold-plated for optimal contact:
There is no software currently available for the mouse, so the RGB LED will only change color during a DPI step change; for this model, Dream Machines have chosen not to include LEDs for the scroll wheel or in the back, but near the right click switch:
