THE SAPHIRA
Compared to the Black Element and the Theron gaming units i have reviewed in the past the Saphira is designed for the best possible grip and so its design includes basic lines and a rubber coated surface.
Placed at the left side are two thumb buttons and a rubber area right beneath them for improved grip.
Four DPI selection LEDs represent the four available levels.
The TteSports logo is placed at the rear of the Saphira and sits above a red LED.
Where we usually find the DPI selection buttons we see a long opening, part of the two main front buttons. The front buttons also feature high grade OMRON switches with a life span of up to 5.000.000 clicks.
A large rubber area is also present at the right side of the Saphira.
The scroll wheel of the Saphira is not only actually very good and silent but it also has a red LED beneath it.
The Saphira also features a long braided cable and a golden USB plug, two features which i am always glad to see.
Turning the Saphira over we see that it comes with two large rubber feet (instead of 3/4 found on most units).
As expected the 3500DPI gaming optical precision laser sensor is placed at the middle of the Saphira.
The DPI and Polling Rate selection buttons are placed right next to it.
The function lock button ensures that you will not accidentally change any of the settings while playing.
At the upper right corner we find the profile selection button which allows you to rotate between the 5 available profiles (naturally).
The weight compartment is placed at the lower end of the Saphira.
Here we find 5 pre-mounted weights of 4.5g each adding to a total of 22.5g.
