Dream Machines DM5 Blink Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2019-11-12

Since this model is using the same PixArt 3389 sensor and Huano switches for the left/right buttons with an endurance of 20 million clicks as with the DM1 FPS, we have had similar experience when gaming in RAGE 2, Dead Space 3 and Diablo 3. The reliable sensor can track optimally without additional acceleration while the mouse weight along with the shoelace cable do complete the experience. An interesting addition is the hardware button for turning off the lighting completely in just a few seconds, while the Basilisk-like DM Shot button is easy reachable for actions that need to be performed quickly, such as Sniper.

A Closer Look Contd.

In the case we do not use this feature, Dream Machines is also offering a rubber cover:

 

 

 

 

The all-black mouse does feature a comfortable grip (we used it with a claw grip in our testing) and does weight only 95 grams without the included cable:

 

 

 

Between the left/right buttons with Huano switches, we get two additional buttons, but also the obligatory RGB-enabled scroll when, which is quite silent in use:

 

 

 

In the back, Dream Machines has included their RGB-enabled logo:

 

 

 

On the left side, we can observe that the plastic for resting our thumb does feature parallel channels, through which LED light will shine though; here we do also have two more programmable buttons, but also the DM Shot clutch we did remind about earlier:

 

 

 

The right area does feature a similar channel design, but without additional programmable buttons:

 

 

 

On the bottom area of the DM5 Blink we will be able to spot the central PixArt 3389 optical sensor lens, the Polling Rate selector but also a feature that we did not see with other mice before -> a switch that turns off the LED lighting electrically. In case you need to turn off the lighting, you have the easy feature to use this switch, instead of installing the application and fiddling with the included options:

 

 

 

One other feature that DM1 FPS did also use is the shoelace cable which is very flexible and it feels like you would be using a wireless mouse:

 

 

 

The cable ends up with a standard USB cable:
