If there's one thing I can say about Mionix is that they make some of the finest gaming mice in the market and the Castor is not an exception. They may not focus much on bells and whistles like some other manufacturers do so their products may n...
Extremely High-Quality Build, 10,000 DPI Optical Sensor, Highly Ergonomical, Sleeved & Gold Plated USB Cable, Super Smooth Glide

Mionix has been favored by many PC gamers for a reason. With little recognition in the market in comparison to brands such as Logitech and Razer, the manufacturer has put out some of the very best in today's gaming mice time and again. They're finally abl...

Abstract: When I think of brand names for top end peripherals, I immediately think of brands like SteelSeries, Razer and Logitech. They all create top quality peripherals and need no real introduction. So when Raven Tech asked if I'd be interested in reviewing some...
