G.SKILL RIPJAWS MX780 RGB Laser Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2015-12-16

RIPJAWS MX780 is the first entry of G.SKILL in the gaming mouse peripheral market and they have aimed to make a good impression by using good quality materials, a proven Avago ADNS9800 laser sensor with DPI available up to 8200, 512KB internal storage for saving profiles, adjustable weight system and its ambidextrous design allows both lefties and right-handed people to use the product in optimal conditions by simply changing the side grips. Also, we would like to remind of the adjustable mouse back via the supplied tool and the four separate light areas which can be customized via the software interface.

Near the rubberized scroll wheel which is silent when used, we will get to see one of the programmable buttons:

 

 

 

The left area of the mouse presents itself with two more programmable buttons and the side grip for holding our thumb; also here we have a plastic component lighted up with LEDs on both front and top:

 

 

 

The right side comes with a similar design, only that the grip was designed to keep our third finger and pinkie comfortable:

 

 

 

In the front, the two plastic, metallic-painted components are joined together and keep the cable assembly secure:

 

 

 

On the bottom area we will be able to see the aluminum core along with the central Avago ADNS9800 laser sensor lens; in the corners the mouse does feature PTFE feet and in the back we can spot the height adjustment component:

 

 

 

 

As with many high-end mice, we will get to see a braided cable, which is in this case 1.8m in length:

 

 

 

The USB connector is gold plated for a better contact and customized with the G.SKILL logo:
