INTRODUCTION

   Just like most things related to PC systems (and not only) gaming peripherals are getting more advanced and innovative each day that goes by so currently we have numerous gaming keyboards, headsets and mice aimed at serious gamers and professionals alike that not only come with superior performance thanks to blazing fast laser, optical and LED sensors but also an abundance of features (some very useful while others not so much). Manufacturers don't stop there however so aside performance and features many models follow really strange and sometimes ergonomic design lines to separate them from the rest of the crowd. However not every gamer out there seeks to get advanced gaming peripherals and this may surprise some people but many times the reason behind that has nothing to do with the cost of such devices but rather with simplicity. A few months back COUGAR announced their gaming line from which so far we've looked at the 700M Gaming Mouse which as many of you know at the end of the day left us with a very good overall opinion. Well today we'll be taking a thorough look at its cousin the 600M Gaming Mouse.

   Compared to the 700M the 600M gaming mouse may be much simpler but it still carries the same ADNS-9800 laser sensor by Avago featuring 8200DPI resolution, 12000fps framerate, 150IPS tracking speed and up to 30G acceleration. Similarities don't end there however since COUGAR has also equipped the 600M with durable OMRON switches (5 million clicks) for the primary buttons, 8 programmable buttons in total, an onboard 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 CPU and 512Kb of memory used for storing the 3 available profiles and a 45 degree sniper button used to slow down DPI for a more steady aim. The 600M gaming mouse also features a polling rate of 1000Hz/1ms and a 16.8 million colors LED backlit illumination system. However although the main difference between the 600M and the 700M seems to be only in design there's also something very important to note and that's the weight. So aside the 40g difference in weight these two gaming mice have (600M weighs 90g while the 700M weighs 110g) the 700M also had an adjustable weight system which could add an extra 18g to its weight. Still lighter seems to be better for most people so let's see what the 600M brings to the table.
