KOLKE KMG-504 Gaming Mice

[Princess Luna]

So, I had limited budget when I built my current personal PC, All the money went on the hardware and I left stuff like the monitor and peripherals for later...

 

In this saving process I went with a very cheap, 12ish dollars "gaming mice" that actually seemed promising, the KOLKE KMG-504, featuring 600, 1200, 2400 DPI:

 

Spoiler

I found the mice to actually be very decent upon first use, it is big enough and very very comfortable to hold, it's lazer rather than optical and I actually managed to play CS:GO without any issue using it, good looking, good precision, good DPIs and even LEDs for aesthetics everything about it seemed extremely worth its low cost.

 

Unfortunately this early love story soon went down hill, after 3 weeks the mice showed defect on its right click, the button simply died... I RMA'ed it to the retailer and after a week of waiting they decided to send a brand new one as they come down to the conclusion it was a manufacturing issue.

 

Well so far so good got a shining brand new one once again fully functional, used it for about two months now when I realized this one is starting to be be defective all over again, the lazer sensor is somewhat faulty as when I leave the mice completely still the cursor randomly shakes/ moves slightly... precision has been getting a bit worse... I'm not really into RMA it again, just gonna buy a Logitech upon my next pay check.

 

I just wrote this down quickly because I really wanted to share the shame on this, the product was actually genuinely well thought out, like I said holding it feels comfortable and good, it looks good, has good functional buttons etc... I could happily use it for years, sadly its decision to cheap the crap out of the manufacturing components leading to followed up defective models (I saw reviews on multiple brazilian retailers and it seems it breaks quite often indeed) made this a very poor choice of purchase.

Are you looking into buying a new mouse?

If it's not too personal a question, what is your glove size? ballpark it.

Had a similar experience with a mouse that came as a freebie with the Gamdias hermes E1 with mouse/trackpad I bought a while ago.  Keyboard was OK (knock-off mech, backlit, cheap) and I actually still use the mousepad but hoo-boy was that mouse TERRIBLE.  Sad thing is its a super comfy mouse with a braided cable, lighting, back/forward buttons - the whole nine yards of goodness.  Too bad the left click stopped working properly after 2 weeks

Unfortunately this really something that cheapening out ends up not paying off, it is a shame because like I wished to emphasize the product is actually good... its manufacturing process that's terrible leading it to not be reliable after its first month of usage.

I am not entirely sure how could I measure my hand, do I just use a ruler or something?

Ironic that I'm talking about my malfunctioning MX Master RN on the forum X(
