What is it?

A stylish and feature-rich gaming mouse.

Good points?

Being a gaming control device the Ybar provides accuracy and speed of movement which is essential to succeed in most typical genres.

A resolution of 7200 dots-per-inch (DPI) allows subtle or direct motion to a particular point on-screen. The DPI can be altered at the touch of a dedicated button.

Its sleek design is comfortable to hold thanks to a rounded mesh textured grip that reduces sweaty build-up and the chances of an annoying slip in a crucial moment.

Full RGB LED lighting is customisable for colours and effects to enhance the gaming experience or ambience alike but can also be turned off to avoid distractions.
