Verdict and Conclusion
The G.Skill RIPJAWS MX780 RGB Laser Gaming Mouse is a good addition to the G.Skill’s gaming accessory range. It compliments nicely with their award winning mechanical gaming keyboards. To some gamers, the look and feel of the RIPJAWS MX780 RGB might not be to everyone’s tastes, but it’s definitely worth considering, especially when it’s packed with features.
The Avago Laser Sensor on the G.Skill RIPJAWS MX780 RGB is sharp and accurate, and the responsiveness from the Omron switches are nice and fast. All of this, makes gaming very enjoyable. I like the fact that it’s fully programmable … the macros, the profiles and the RGB back-lighting upto 16.8 million colors.
If you purely look at the mouse in terms of performance and features, then the RIPJAWS MX780 RGB is a real winner. Just look at the feature list … the ambidextrous design, interchangeable side grips, adjustable palm rest, on-board profile storage, 2 x adjustable 4.5g weights, Avago laser sensor, Omron micro-switch, 8 fully programmable buttons and customizable 4-zone RGB back-lighting. Now, don’t tell me that this mouse ain’t worth a look!
The G.Skill RIPJAWS MX780 RGB Laser Gaming Mouse will cost you approximately USD $69.99 which is what I expected, and competes very well against the big names like Steelseries, Razer or Tt eSports in terms of price. Do shop around … you might pick one up for less than USD $50. Buy now at Amazon – http://goo.gl/1kt6KK
