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.

The USB cable is held together by a rubber tie, which also features the Mountain logo:

 

 

 

The braided Mountain Lifeline cable is as flexible as the one we have seen with Dream Machines mice; this feature coupled with the low weight of just 67g really makes you think that you are using a wireless model! Regarding the cable length, this one is the usual 1.8m:

 

 

 

The USB connector is customized with the Mountain logo and also features gold plating:

 

 

 

The placement of the RGB lighting on this mouse is great, because even when during use it will still remain visible; our near-final sample does allow the user to see where the LEDs are placed but with the final chassis Mountain has obtained a more continuous LED lighting effect. The dots you are seeing do represent the DPI step you are currently in:
