Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Cougar 500M is a solid product, and overall, we were impressed by the build quality and the comfortable shape. Apart from that basically everything can be configured the way you want it to be, thanks to the simple and capable software. Overall, the sensor performs well and the software is practical and easy to use. What could improved is the surface which you'll hold under your palm, since it's very smooth and a magnet for finger prints. |

| Performance / Ergonomics | + | - | |
| As usual, we used the Cougar 500M gaming mouse in both 2D and 3D environments in our tests. After a few days of use with standard office applications we can say that, despite being a gaming mouse, Cougar's new gaming mouse behaves very well in those scenarios as well as in gaming ones. We tested the Cougar 500M with RTS and FPS games without any problems. The ergonomics of the mouse is always very subjective but we did not experience any excessive hand fatigue. We have tested the Cougar 500M on a few different mousepads and the gliding charcteristics are not perfect; in our opinion the teflon glide pads are a bit too small. Larger teflon pads would help making gliding characteristics more homogenous. |
