Overview
With a choice of wired or wireless operation, the SKILLER SGM50W dual-mode gaming mouse offers unlimited gaming fun, whatever the situation. A high-performance ATG4090 sensor and main buttons made of nonslip and abrasion-resistant PBT ensure that everything stays under control during the game. And even outside of the gaming action, the mouse promises to be a highlight thanks to its transparent underside, software-free RGB illumination, and its stylish charging dock for recharging the mouse at any time.
Wired or Wireless Operation
For maximum freedom of movement, the SKILLER SGM50W can be used cable free via the 2.4 GHz wireless connection. However, if a more conventional way of doing things is preferred, or if the integrated battery has to be recharged, the mouse can be operated with the supplied USB-C to USB-A cable.
Long Battery Life
With a battery life of up to 70 hours, the SKILLER SGM50W has been designed for long periods of use. For recharging, the mouse can be placed on the supplied charging dock. This also has a handy slot, whenever needed, for securely stowing the USB nano receiver. Should the mouse be needed even if the battery is discharged, the supplied cable will allow the mouse to be simply connected to a USB port on your PC and then used further while being recharged at the same time.
Designed for Gaming
Precise maneuvers and optimal control in any situation are provided by the high-performance ATG4090 sensor inside the SKILLER SGM50W together with the six mouse feet made of PTFE. Six keys are available for reconfiguration within the game to provide quick access to the most used functions.
Optimal Handling
The shape of the SKILLER SGM50W was specially designed to support all common types of grip and is ideal for either large or small hands. To enable even better handling, the left and right mouse button is each made of high-quality PBT. The buttons are thus well protected from grease, wear and tear, and help maintain a good grip even after long periods of use.
Even, Ambient RGB Light
The illumination provides highlights within the entire RGB spectrum. Through the transparent underside of the mouse, the colors are evenly distributed and come especially well into their own. All the effects are adjustable without the requirement of software.

The Box and Packaging
Included in the box is the mouse itself, charging dock, wire, extra grips and a manual. The box is simple and minimalistic, showcasing the mouse at the front and some info on the sides and back.
A Closer Look
The quality of the mouse is actually very good mainly because of the high quality PBT used to make the mouse. This helps with the grip of the mouse because the PBT protects the mouse from grease. The high qulity PBT also prevents wear and tear so this mouse can be used for a long time.
One feature that i really like about this mouse is the transparent underglow. The effect of the transparent bottom can be seen very clearly because the RGB is vibrant and clear all around the mouse.
Verdict and Conclusion
The Sharkoon SKILLER SGM50W Wireless Gaming Mouse is an exceptional mouse that has good performance and responsivness as well as amazing RGB! It is comfortable to hold and is made from high quality materials. However one thing that lets this product down is the fact that there is no software available for this mouse. This means customization is limited for RGB and programming buttons.
The charging dock included with this mouse is a very nice addition because it is convenient for the user. It even has RGB on it!
For the price of the product, I would say it is definetely a good option out there compared to other mice on the market. This mouse has great performance and has a charging dock inclued which most other brands would not do.
We couldn’t find the Sharkoon SKILLER SGM50W Wireless Gaming Mouse on Amazon, but you can buy something similar – Sharkoon Shark Force II Gaming Mouse for around USD $35.00 from Amazon – https://amzn.to/3VXoQT2
Final words
Sharkoon has impressed me with this mouse, especially as I have never used any of their products before. The best features of this mouse for me is the transparent bottom and the charging dock for recharging. I wish that in the future Sharkoon will make a software for this mouse but overall I would reccommend this mouse escpecially for you gamers!
