Closer Look
At a first glance, the TteSport Theron Plus shows that this is a harmoniously designed and ergonomically shaped gaming mouse. This gaming mouse has been built for right-handed people, and features a distinctive shape that also holds your thumb on the mouse body. In addition, the TteSport Theron Plus features a glossy surface which is a fingerprint magnet. The back of the TteSport Theron Plus features a small company logo backlit in 16.8 million colors. The TteSport Theron Plus gaming mouse features a total of eight buttons with Omron switches which are completely programmable via software. The top of the mouse features two classic buttons devoted to DPI rotation and a solid wheel almost entirely covered with rubber. Overall, the buttons are placed in well reachable positions and they are easy to reach.
Back
Although not detailed, the sensor behind the TteSport Theron Plus is most likely a PixArt ADNS-9500, since the maximum resolution is 8200 DPI. The laser sensor is placed in the center of the mouse. The TteSport Theron Plus also features an adjustable weight system. For that purpose there are five small weights, which let you add 4.5g with each weight. The weight stones are positioned in the rear part of the body and are easy to access. TteSport decided to provide the Theron Plus with glide pads made of teflon, which means that these will last a very long time. A closer look at the cable reveals that it has been braided with a black sleeve.

Software
TteSport did not include the software in the bundle. In this case you first have to go to the manufacturers website to download the latest version by yourself. The software GUI is perfectly in line with the attractive design of the mouse and it is practical and easy to use. With the supplied software, you can configure basically everything you might like to set yourself, such as for example, lighting, DPI, macros and much more.

Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Tt eSport Theron Plus is a pleasant surprise. The device is comfortable, with some really interesting features and a good build quality. Overall, the sensor performs well and the software is practical and easy to use. The compact and lightweight shape makes it one of the smaller mice we've tested so far and it is also perfect for trips away from your home PC, and thus very practical as a notebook mouse as it can easily fit inside a notebook bag. In our opinion only the upper surface should be improved since it is a fingerprint magnet. |

| As usual, we used the gaming mouse in both 2D and 3D environments for our tests. After a few days of use with standard office applications we can say that, despite being a gaming mouse, TteSport's product behaves very well in those scenarios as well as in gaming. We tested the TteSport Theron Plus with RTS and FPS games without any problems. The weight is about 100g but there is also the possibility to adjust it with five small 4.5g weights placed in the bottom rear part of the mouse. TteSport's device is also very slim and thanks to its particular shape it is also very comfortable. In our opinion only the upper buttons are hard to press because they are simply too small and too close to the palm. |

| The TteSport's software is a good surprise. It is well-structured, easy to use and with a couple of good options. You will be able to change the aesthetics as well as all the functional aspects. The GUI interface is easy and simple, although we would also like to see a few more customizations from TteSport. In addition to the classic software for Windows, there is a mobile application that will communicate with your mouse through the bluetooth module built-in the Theron Plus. Through the application, available for Android and iOS, you can check in real-time all the main features and statistics of the mouse. | - Easy to use | ||
| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
| The price of the Tt eSport Theron Plus is about 70 Euros. In terms of value, we think that the price could be a bit steep. Overall the perfomance and the build quality is on a good level. | - Price | ||
