ROCCAT Savu Mid-Size Hybrid Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2012-07-10

Savu is a mid-sized mouse that may not be very suitable for people with big hands, built from quality materials and offers no-sweat rough plastic side grips for maximum precision in games. It features an adjustable 4000DPI Pro-Optic (R3) gaming sensor, with adjustable polling rate up to 1000Hz, Teflon feet for minimum friction and a 1.8m braided USB cable. A total of 4 buttons can be remapped (left and right mouse buttons, the scroll wheel button and one lateral), the fifth having Easy-Shift [+] functionality, meant to double the mappings for the programmable buttons.

The other side lacks any extra buttons, and if we look closely, we will find the ROCCAT logo debossed on the right click button:

 

 

 

Here is also a closer look on the plastic grip surface:

 

 

 

On the front we will find the scroll wheel with lock-in incremental steps:

 

 

 

The back side of the mouse does not have anything else printed, which we really appreciate because we had experiences in the past when the logo started to peel off after 2-3 months of usage; the bottom lights can be customized with effects and also one of the available 16.8 million colors:

 

 

 

On the bottom we can spot the 4000DPI Pro-Optic (R3) sensor, but also two large PTFE feet and some serial numbers:

 

 

 

Savu comes with a fully braided cable, 1.8m in length:

 

 

 

The USB connector is shaped the same way as we have seen on the previous ROCCAT peripherals:
