The mouse does not hold up well even before a month of use as the M1 button started to wobble and the right side started to creak. We’ve already outfitted your mouse right out of the box with PTFE feet, a common mod in enthusiast mice circles. The extra buttons are a huge boon for FPS and MMO players, the multitude of connection options make it excellent for portability, and it being so light is a huge relief for all of our wrists. Though the company doesn’t mention its actuation or debounce specs, even a light pressure will result in a press, so you should have no issue spamming enemies in your favorite games. It also has a small bit of RGB lighting where your palm sits, which is subtle enough to satisfy those who aren’t keen on that style of lighting but may not be enough for people who like to feel like they’re raving when they’re gaming.

Additionally, some very effective PTFE feet for frictionless gliding means using it requires very little effort. Additionally, if you need to use it in wired mode, the ultraweave cable is made so that you won’t feel it pull as you move your mouse around. Throughout our testing, the thing that stood out the most about the mouse is, unsurprisingly, the weight. It also has a little hollow underneath where the wireless adaptor is kept, which is great if you’re looking for a mouse to come traveling with you, be it for a Steam Deck, a gaming laptop, or just for work.

Also, if you’re the kind of person that doesn’t like RGB lights, you’ll be happy to know that your palm will cover it at all times when you’re using it. The original MM712 was released last autumn (after several delays) to a mostly warm reception, although user feedback did provide Cooler Master with plenty of insights for the development of possible successors. Cooler Master has listened to feedback and opted to go with a sensor that is much closer to the index and middle finger. To test the Cooler Master MM712, I spent a week with it, playing all sorts of games from fast-paced titles like Battefield 2042 and CS:GO to adventure and open-world titles like Control and Far Cry 6. The range of DPI options means you can easily tweak how you’re using it to suit the game or even the specific situation you’re in, and it always felt up to the job.

I have used it in hybrid pads like the Vaxee PA and all tests showed that the mouse glides smoothly. Cooler Master’s second run of limited Sakura Edition peripherals includes some of our most popular peripherals released this past year.

Possibly my favorite part of what the MM712 has to offer is its multiple forms of connectivity as it has wired, 2. In fact, for my personal needs, I would rank it up there with the best wireless mice to use for both work and pleasure. Because of this hump profile, the mouse fits perfectly for those seeking a claw grip mouse as the hump will support the side and the back of your palm well. Cooler Master has maintained the mouse feet shape so if you have any extra MM711 skates lying around, you can use these on the MM712.
