Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| Next to a power laser sensor this mouse also convices because of the perfect ergonomics. Also a plus point are the various software settings which are easily accessible through the menu. |
- driverless installation - Simple but powerful Software |
- manual only in english - no downloadsection on manufacturers site | |
| Ergonomics | + | - | |
| The QPAD 5K Gaming Mouse which is only suitable for right handed gamers allows a very natural position of your hand. A well defined pressure point for every button also makes it a very comfortable tool. Using the grippy mouse wheel even scrolling can be done absolutely effortlessly and on top of that the scrollbutton is very responsive. The two thumbbuttons are easily accessible for either samll or big hands. We are very curious if there will be soon a left handed version of the 5K available on the market. This would be an enrichment for all left handed people in the gaming scene. |
- Very responsive scrollbutton - large buttons - two thumb button |
- right handed use only | |
| Gliding characteristics | + | - | |
| Especially at the beignning the gliding characteristics of the 5K really didn't convince. After several hours of usage the edges of the relatively big glidepads weren't the sharp anymoe and the mouse didn't scratch over the surface as it did at the beginning. In fact the feeling became homogenous. |

| Precision / Speed | + | - | |
| QPAD provided the 5K with a powerful sensor unit which is able to deliver 5'040 DPI with 12'0000 pictures per second and 10.8 megapixels. Therefore one would need to accelerate the mouse with 3.8 meters per seconds until the surface scan becomes unprecise. | - High-Quality Sensor | ||
| Recommendation | + | - | |
| The QPAD 5K gaming mouse is not only suitable for gamer also for desktop users the 5K is an advancement. Looking at the manufacturers website we would really have appreciated it if there was a download section for software and manuals. This really needs to be implementend an in the year 2010 it looks almost a bit like internet stone age. |
