Mountain Makalu 67 Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2020-09-24

As the first mouse from Mountain, Makalu 67 presents itself as a quite impressive product, incorporating the latest trends and technologies from the gaming segment; we do get the latest PixArt PAW3370 high-end sensor with a tracking DPI of up to 19000, 1-2mm lift-off distance but also a much lowered error rate versus the previous versions. The ribcage design of the chassis looks more interesting versus the hexagonal hole pattern we have seen with other brands and is much less prone to flex as well.

Makalu 67 does offer a comfortable palm grip thanks to its curved design, while the patented ribcage design does come with a water-repellent PCB coating; the lack of rubberized paint is appreciated!

 

 

 

In the left/right buttons area we do have the RGB illumination segments, four LED DPI indicators but also the DPI selector button; for the main buttons Mountain has equipped the mouse with Omron switches, that have a lifespan of 50M actuations:

 

 

 

On the left side, we will note that half of the chassis still features perforations but the frontal area does not, in order to enhance the overall durability; two additional programmable buttons are also available here, which can be accessed with ease and also feature dark grey metallized paint for imitating brushed aluminum:
