This mouse is truly in a league of its own. When I first found out I was getting a mouse which holds a RRP of £69.99, I thought it would just be a hyped-up piece of junk much like .However the more I have used this mouse, the more I have loved it. It...
The Steelseries Ikari Gaming Mouse is in fact a nearly perfect Gaming mouse which can also be used very accurately for daily work. The esthetic design and the high quality materials show Steelseries passion to their products. The Ikari suits left- and ...

Classy looks, Superb build quality, Sleeved cable for maximum durability, Selectable resolution
HUGE, LEDs are too bright
With the exception of the size and the overly bright indicator LEDs, this is a very sound product. To spice up the pot a bit more, the price is also very reasonable for a high quality optical mouse. If you are used to large mice and want more of the ...
The Ikari is one of the best mice I've ever had a chance to look at – and because drinking tea at your desk is a constant hazard for me, I've looked at more than my fair share of mice. It ranks up there with the and the .It has two problems though – s...
Abstract: Ah, gamers, were an odd bunch. We spend all this money on the best hardware so we can play all the latest games with their amazing eye-candy. But when it comes to actually competing against each other online we turn all the graphical effects off...
With all the innumerable gaming mice out there, it can be hard to accurately test and gauge what makes a great gaming mouse. The laser diode technology has brought about a new level of accuracy that we can take advantage of, but the LED based optical ...
