We would have preferred thumb buttons placed one under the other like on the Microsoft SideWinder
We would have preferred (2) an additional button maybe under the ring finger to not cut basic functions and add shortcuts
Abstract: All through testing I experienced nothing but comfort and that neat feeling only quality can give you. Like all good things though it comes at a price and the Ikari Laser is certainly not cheap coming in at around US$65. This is certainly not the type...
Great performance, Driverless design helps to free up CPU, Mouse can save your current profile to use on any system!, Screen on the bottom for viewing/editing profiles/CPI on the go, CPI settings can be adjusted on the fly without having to use the includ...
Left side buttons should be placed slightly better, The mouse did not seem to work well with my hands (it felt too low and like it should have a slightly different angle)
For being SteelSeries' first introduction into the world of gaming mice, they've done an excellent job of taking many new ideas and features and implimenting them onto a nice mouse. They've tried a lot of new things that I haven't seen any...
Programmable Macros, Manual CPI adjustments, Settings stored on mouse, Built in LCD, Built in mouse feet, Ergonomically friendly
Expensive
Like every other SteelSeries product the Ikari Laser performs exceptionally well. I would really recommend this product to any gamer looking for a high end mouse to perfect their gaming experience. Just make sure you choose the right Ikari Laser, the ...
Comfortable to use, No drivers, Easily adjustable, Cool LED display, Excellent tracking, Well made, Big feet, keeps balance, Good weight
Scroll wheel button is a little too sensitive, Pricey
The trend with gaming mice seems to be to add more features, buttons, weights etc, but SteelSeries has essentially done the opposite and created a laser gaming mouse that takes us back to basics. No weight kits, no interchangeable face plates, no othe...
Abstract: Gaming mice are getting serious... what once was marketed as a niche novelty item is now taken seriously as professional sports equipment. Nearly every computer peripheral maker has a pointing device targeted towards different users. Some of these g...
Ergonomically designed for comfort and long hours, Accurate, as tested by professional gamers around the world, Supports a very high CPI (or DPI, if you are still being stubborn with the term), “Driverless”. Simply plug and play, Profile is saved on the mouse so you can use the same settings on any computer, Freemove. Move the cursor wherever you want it to without being “smartly” corrected,
Specialized for righthanded people, Can only save 1 profile on the mouse, Quite pricey for a mouse, Doesn’t include a mouse pad (okay, I’m just being too greedy!), Bookmark and Share
The SteelSeries Ikari Laser mouse is a great mouse overall. It looks sleek and elegant. However, it’s not just the looks that counts. It’s very well designed for comfort but also for gaming (the reason why SteelSeries tested the mouse with professional...
Light weight, CPI button is appealing, Very good performance, Free Move, 3,200 CPI
Only for the right handed, Expensive
PerformanceSteel Series claims that the Ikari laser is not meant for FPS games as they say it might have tracking issues on faster hand movement. It will have better use in MMO or RTS games as players require higher precision on a higher sensitivity. O...
Comfortable hand grip, Great performance especially for intensive gaming, Customized CPI (13200) & on theflychanging, CPI high/low indicator & LCD display, Programmable marco buttons, SteelSeries FreeMove technology, Driverless plug & play feature, Lightw...
A bit Pricey
Among all the computer hardware makers, SteelSeries is one of the quality producers where all of their products are come with high quality and well designs and this is same for Ikari Laser mouse too. SteelSeries Ikari Laser mouse is not only a well de...
gorgeous looks, great design, comfortable, superb performance, softwarefree DPI changer, great driver and software, LCD screen,
expensive than other in the class, mouse would be unresponsive on bootup sometimes, only 2 DPI settings possible
I have almost gushed throughout the entire review, so you know I think the Steelseries Ikari is a fantastic mouse. However, let me tell you its price, AED 369, and this alone changes everything. This seems a bit much for a mouse that offers the very ba...
