Introduction

It was a long time ago now, but I still vividly remember sitting in 9th grade computer class trying to doodle on MS Paint with a regular mechanical mouse but failing to render anything worthy of description, since the tracking was horribly inaccurate. It wasn’t until the introduction of Microsoft’s Intellimouse optical input device in 2001 that people realized how stifling the mechanical tracking wheel mouse design was. Using optical sensors, the leap in motion input detection was exponential, like going from horse-drawn carriages to steam locomotives. After a decade, optical mice are now the norm and the market has changed to cater to different specialty users.

There are mice designed for portability, productivity and, of course, gaming. Thermaltake, through their Tt eSPORTS brand, has launched an entire lineup of peripherals aimed at those in the gaming lifestyle and cyber-sports culture. From headsets to keyboards and mice, these products fit a specific type of gamer, whether they play Real-Time Strategy games, Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games or First-Person Shooters.

The Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS Azurues is a basic 3-button gaming mouse designed for FPS gamers. The Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS Azurues has a polling rate of 500Hz and a dpi switch at the bottom, adjustable up to 1600 dpi. Like all Tt eSPORTS products that plug into a USB port, the Azurues gaming mouse has a braided and gold-plated USB connector as well as a convenient carrying case. The Tt eSPORTS Azurues does not require any software or drivers to use and is completely plug and play. For gamers that want a simple gaming mouse, the Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS Azurues is a high-performance alternative with just the right amount and combination of enthusiast features.
