![]() The noise they make is more coarse to the ears that that of larger manufacturers. These aren’t on that level but they are Cherry MX Brown level’s of loud. This isn’t a criticism I know many people out there practically swear by Cherry MX Blue switches for keyboards, which are obnoxiously loud. I don’t know what mechanical switches are in this unit as there’s no documentation that suggests this, but they aren’t subtle. Unfortunately that finish, which is continued throughout the top portion, picks up fingerprints and grease like no tomorrow! Left and right mouse buttons are as you’d expect, with smooth matte finish to them. The dongle doesn’t sit flush, but that might not be an issue as you’ll not be using it when that’s in situ anyway. ![]() Moving on, the battery compartment is also on the bottom, housing the required AA battery (not included), and a storage hole for the included Bluetooth dongle. This unit can be turned on with or without the RGB lighting effects, which is nice if you’re trying to be discreet. On the bottom of the device sits the On/Off toggles. On the right side we have more of those hexagonals. It helps, but a different material would have been welcome here. There’s also an admittedly cheap feeling plastic set of hexagonal cut outs on the side to act as grip. On the left of the device there’s a nice little thumb rest which allows easy access to the two buttons available whilst also allowing the mouse to continue to glide in operation without changing the weight bias. We have most of what is required in a gaming mouse right here multiple buttons (7 operational buttons), a mixture of texture types on buttons for easy travel, a selection of DPI settings as well as the obligatory RGB lighting effects. Sadly the RGB lighting isn’t configurable though. It’s presented in a lovely little plastic box with some foam padding – I’ve actually used this to cart the unit around in once or twice. Now the Easterntimes Tech X-11 is, first and foremost, a gaming mouse. Easterntimes Tech reached out via their PR and suggested I look at this device. I’m not looking for a new mouse to replace the one on my workstation/gaming rig, but I was looking for something, similar in size and utility, for my mobile work setup. I’m used to using a Logitech G500 – it’s lasted me many a year. But what about at the lower end of the market? Are tings as bad as they used to be? Let’s take a look at the Easterntimes Tech X-11 Gaming Mouse available for less than £12! The standard of gaming mice now is, generally, very high from most notably manufacturers. With time came many more competitors which drove the price down. For the longest time, Logitech were the kings of the gaming mouse market. Mice used to be that PC peripheral purchase (say that three times fast!) that caused as much debate as the type of mechanical keys one should use in a keyboard.
