Performance
Starting with the DPI, the MM710 can reach sensitivities as high as 16,000, much higher than the Logitech G203 Prodigy. This means the mouse can detect very minute movements, and react accordingly. And with an IPS of 400, it’s going to react accurately with your quick movements, processing information faster. However, the Razer Lancehead TE has it beat by a small margin, clocking in at true 450 IPS. The Cooler Master MM710 gaming mouse does this by utilizing the pro-grade optical sensor, the PixArt sensor PMW3389.
Design
The MM710 has such a strange design, though it does serve a purpose. For starters, it’s ambidextrous in nature, so it’ll work for lefties and righties. However, the two additional side buttons can only be accessible to righties, and that’s a bummer. The scroll wheel moves smoothly, and its steps catch quite nicely. Even the omron switches will last 20 million clicks. And if you’re getting a new mouse, consider buying the Giant Battle Mat mousepad that covers your whole desk.
By utilizing a honeycomb design and ultralight braided cable—more durable than the cheap wire on the Pictek Gaming Mouse—it’s able to reduce its overall weight, making it the lightest mouse among its price bracket. You’d have a hard time finding lighter gaming mice than the Cooler Master MM710, not without reducing its overall size.
Value
Given how well the MM710 performs in terms of DPI and IPS, Cooler Master made a glorious model for gaming; the MM710 is of excellent value, and affordable, too! It’s surprising how well it’s built, even with its efforts to reduce weight. Since it’ll fit comfortably in your hand, and its honeycomb design will keep your hands cool, you can easily see yourself gripping the MM710 for hours without fatigue.
Cooler Master MM710 Wrap Up
The Cooler Master MM710 is a light, compact mouse that has all the amenities you need when gaming: high DPI ceiling, high IPS for accuracy, and a comfortable design for extended use. However, its additional buttons are only accessible to right-handed individuals. Regardless, its performance and build quality are befitting of a gaming mouse.
