Func MS-2 Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2014-11-24

The Func MS-2 mouse has given us a good impression as the MS-3 version before it and is able to deliver a good gaming experience for mainstream gamers and seems to be better suited for fingertip grip users with smaller hands. The soft-touch coating offers a good grip which is important during long gaming sessions while the extra buttons are carefully placed for easy accessibility.

The Software GUI

As we have mentioned before, the buttons on the MS-2 can be fully remapped by using the intuitive interface, which is available after installing the software utility. On the top row, Func MS-2 Settings software will also show us the current firmware which is installed in the mouse, while further down we can make a selection between the different profiles, the profiles can be saved and restored as individual files by using the respective buttons. Further down, we have the Basic Settings, Button Assignment, Color Settings, Macro Editor, Firmware Update but also Func.net buttons. Going back to Basic Settings, we will be able to adjust the values for DPI Step 1,2,3,4 but also Instant Aim; the software has currently a limitation because we cannot set custom values but preset like 800, 1600, 3200 or 4000 so we guess that Func needs to make a modification in a further release for more flexibility. Besides those we can adjust the Pointer Sensitivity, Scroll Speed, Double Click Speed or Polling Rate:

 

 

As we have mentioned before inside the article, the buttons can be fully customized with other different functions, inside the Button Assignment tab:

 

 

 

The menus include Default Commands, Windows Commands, Media Functions, Recorded Macros, Single Key Assignments or we can disable the buttons completely:

 

 

 

Default Commands

 

 

 

Windows Commands

 

 

 

Media Functions

 

 

 

The Color Settings menu allows working with the color schemes of the scroll wheel; we can adjust settings like Saturation or Brightness for more fine-tuning and also enable a “pulse” effect:

 

 

 

The Macro Editor is pretty straight-forward; first we will define the name for or macro and afterwards record our desired moves:

 

 

 

Next we have Firmware Update functionality which will try to detect the current version and prompt for an update if necessary, while the Func.net button will redirect us to the manufacturers’ website:
