Closer Look
The
Cougar 700M comes with an aggressive design. For customization purposes you can
choose to put different parts in place, that feature different surfaces and you
can choose between porous and smooth/soft touch applicats. The Cougar 700M measures 127mm x 83mm x 38mm,
which makes it a medium sized gaming mouse. Apart from that it weighs 110 grams,
which is not too heavy but also not very light. On the left side there are three
thumb buttons and one of them is placed at 45 degrees to ensure a better grip. The wheel, almost entirely
made from rubber, it is thick, solid and it offers tactile feedback, which
allows for feeling the each scrolling step precisely. Right behind the wheel,
there is the button to increase / decrease the DPI. The 700M is only suitable
for right-handed gamers and overall there are eight programmable buttons.
As you can see from the pictures, the mouse also comes with RGB customizable LED
in the front. The cable is not removable but it is sleeved with black cloth
strings and measures almost two meters. The USB header received gold plating.
The Cougar 700M also features an adjustable weights system. For that purpose
there are four small weight stones, which let you add 4.5 grams with each stone. The weight
stones are positioned in the center part of the body in order to keep the mouse
in balance.
Back
Cougar decided to equip this mouse with an ADNS-9800
sensor with a maximum resolution of 8200 DPI. Furthermore this mouse has been
equipped with glidepads made from teflon. As we mentioned before, Cougar ships
the 700M in combination with different pads, which allow for a high level of
customization. In this case you can choose between porous and smooth/soft touch
parts and use whichever you prefer. On the bottom side there is a small aluminum silver wheel that will help to adjust
shape and size. Additionally there is another smaller palm rest, that comes with
a soft touch surface. This model is there to the help adjust the mouse to the
needs of "claw" or "palm" grip gamers. The chassis is made of aluminum and despite the very lively coloring, does not stand out too much.
