Cooler Master MM710 Review

soldier_ph · August 23, 2020

Disclaimer: I bought the Cooler Master Master Mouse 710 back in May and promised you guys the Review of it so here it is.

Pictures from the day I got the Mouse:

Note: My setup looks different now and the reason I'm doing the full Review now is because I was waiting for my new Gaming Notebook to arrive to be able to play Triple A titles again to get the full perspective. So here you can check out the current setup.

There are two models of this Mouse that differ in one function: There's the MM710 which either comes in Matte/Glossy Black or Matte/Glossy White and then there's the MM711 which is the exact same Mouse but adds RGB and comes in Matte Black, Glossy Black, Matte White and Glossy White. The reason why I didn't go with the MM711 is because it is 7 grams heavier than the MM710 at 60 grams and the fact that I'm not a fan of RGB.

SPECIAL PROTECTION AGAINST THE ELEMENTS

A lightweight mouse requires heavyweight protection - especially with a perforated design that's susceptible to exposure. The MM710's PCBA is sprayed with dust and water-resistant coating, which helps prevent accidental spills, annoying dust bunnies, or overly sweaty palms from bricking your artillery in the heat of the moment. However, keep in mind that the encoder and switches are not able to be coated and perform well at the same time, so definitely don't do any dunking or swimming with the MM710. Just take better care of your mouse. Remember: happy mice, happy life.

So basically if you spill your Drink on the Mouse or have Ultra Sweaty plams than that won't be a Problem because the PCB is sprayed with a Dust and Water resistant coating that prevents it from shorting out because the Case of the Mouse has a open perforated Design that makes it Ultra light weight. I haven't personally tested it because the switches itself aren't sprayed with that coating and recklessly destroying Tech that I paid for isn't my thing.

Screenshots from the MasterPlus Control Center:

This is the main page. Here you can adjust your DPI, the polling rate and things like the Button Respond time. These are the settings I use the Mouse with both in game and on normal Desktop use.

Here you can assign each of the 6 Buttons to other Buttons or to Desktop Shortcuts.

Here you can configure and safe your Macro Profiles. I don't use any Macros on the Mouse since I do all of my Macro stuff via the Keyboard.

And then here you can save upto 5 Mouse Profiles which are all stored on the Mouse itself.

My Thoughts:

When I used the Mouse for the first time I set the DPI shutter to 3200, after using it for a couple of hours on the Desktop I noticed that it was a bit too High for my liking so I experimented a bit and set it to 1600. Now that I have played a couple of games and fully tested it out and got used to the Mouse over the last 4 Months I found that 2100 DPI is perfect for me. I find the Scroll Wheel sound and feel on the Cooler Master MM710 really satisfying. The left and right Mouse button clicks feel and sound subtle, quickly executed and kinda stealthy actually compared to my Master 2S which it's click is really sharp and loud. The back and forward buttons are not bad but at least stable and don't move around when you wiggle your thumb around on them, but they're obviously not up to the standard on the Master 2S. The DPI Shutter Button on the other hand is kinda garbage, like you place your index finger on it and it moves around straight away which is not a Problem for me anymore since I've found the perfect DPI setting and won't be chaning it for now, also it dosen't actually tell you on Screen on which default DPI setting you're on when using the DPI shutter Button to change it. Overall I think it's a really great Gaming Mouse and definitely worth the Money, I paid 54.70 CHF. I wanted a light weight Gaming Mouse for a long time and overall Cooler Master fully delivered on my expectations and in some cases exceed them. Plus I get sweaty palms while Gaming so the perforated Design actually helps to cool my Right hand down a bit. The Mouse is intended for Right handed Gamers so this will probably be a pass for Lefties.
