Dream Machines DM1 S2 Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2020-05-15

After trying a few games with the DM1 S2, the shape seemed very familiar and thanks to the all-around rubberized coating, the comfort is good. The mouse does not have a large footprint as others, so the main grip types it will be used with will be claw and fingertip. The left and right Huano switch buttons are a bit harder to press versus the Omron counterparts, but after a bit of training, you will be used to it right away.

Packaging, A Closer Look

The newly released DM1 S2 mouse from Dream Machines is meant to be an upgrade over the DM1 Pro S model, launched no less than four years ago. The model retains the design elements we have seen along with the DM1 FPS and incorporates the PMW3360 optical sensor.

Inside, we will get to see some documentation, a backup set of PTFE feet but also the main product, inside a transparent plastic mold:

Dream Machines is one of the few manufacturers offering replacement, pre-cut PTFE pads and this is to be appreciated:

 

 

 

Let’s concentrate our attention on the main product though:

 

 

 

The SteelSeries Sensei-like shape makes its appearance once again with the DM1 S2; we are dealing with an ambidextrous chassis, with buttons only present on the left side panel. The top segment of the chassis is coated with matte black rubber, for a firm grip and optimal comfort:

 

 

 

In the front, we will be able to spot the RGB-enabled scroll wheel, but also a shield-looking button which is initially programmed for DPI cycling. The left and right switches are Huano and guaranteed for 20 million clicks:
