Roccat Leadr Wireless Gaming Mouse Review | eTeknix

Leadr Wireless Roccat make some of the best gaming mice on the market today. I myself am a huge fan of their Tyon gaming mouse, with its crazy many-button design and fantastic sensor. It's also one of the few 'larger' mice on the market that fit my hand. Now, the Leadr wireless takes that same design and makes the cable more optional. Why they've called it the Leadr and not the Tyon Wireless, I don't know, but that's what it is... As you'll see in a few minutes. Equipped with their flagship 12000 DPI Optical sensor, 1000 Hz polling, ultra-low

The Roccat Leadr gets pretty much everything right from a wireless gaming perspective, and charges a little less than its competitors.

What is being the best? A couple of years ago, Tom Goodwin, an executive at Havas Media, famously wrote that "Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate. Something interesting is happening." The "something interesting" thing, as he points out, is that power and profit is no longer exclusive to the hands of producer of goods or provider of services, as it traditionally was. Instead, power and profit exists in a third-party interface between the producer of goods or provider of services and the people who consume them. In other words, while traditional wisdom has taught us being the "best" means you have to be the biggest in producing or the best in providing, the internet allowed this definition to be shifted to corresponding platforms that bring producers or providers together with the consumers. Therefore, being the "best" implies being the best in matching one side to the other. Now, if you ask me what is the best way to interface a human to a desktop computer, I would argue the keyboard and mouse is still preferred. But if you ask me what the best mouse is, that is a whole new question. Up until now, I would have told you it is the SteelSeries Sensei Wireless. But three years after this mouse has made its debut on my desk, we may have a challenger to take its position today. "Best" in meeting my criteria for a mouse is simple: A comfortable shape, high performance sensor, wireless, and a reasonable number of well-placed buttons. The ROCCAT Leadr seems to check all these boxes on paper. But will it be the best and make the cut as my new daily driver? Read on to find out!

This excellent wireless version of Roccat's Tyon has plenty of well-distributed buttons, but it's pricey, and the software configuration utility needs a major update.
