What customers like about Acer Nitro Gaming Mouse II

  • High responsiveness and accuracy with the PAW3325 sensor
  • Comfortable ergonomic design suitable for long gaming sessions
  • Eight functional buttons, including a unique dedicated burst-fire button
  • Customizable lighting with six DPI-linked LED color stages
  • Adjustable weight system (4 x 5g weights) for personalized feel
  • Durable build with a braided cable and click lifespan up to 10 million
  • Excellent value for a budget-friendly gaming mouse

What customers don't like about Acer Nitro Gaming Mouse II

  • Burst-fire button placement can lead to accidental clicks for some users
  • May feel slightly small for users with larger hands
  • The 1.6m cable is considered short by some compared to competitors
  • Limited software remapping options for some specialized buttons
  • Polling rate is capped at 1000Hz, which might not satisfy pro-level enthusiasts

Verdict

The Acer Nitro Gaming Mouse II (NMW120) is a wired optical peripheral powered by a PixArt PAW3325 sensor, offering adjustable sensitivity up to 4,200 DPI across six stages and a rapid 1,000Hz polling rate for a 1ms response time. Its standout characteristics include eight functional buttons—featuring a dedicated 'Burst Fire' thumb button—and a customisable weight system using four removable 5g modules to reach a total approximate weight of 150g. Main pros include its ergonomic right-handed design, durable 10-million-click lifespan, and DPI-synced LED lighting that provides instant visual feedback on sensitivity levels. However, common cons include a lack of onboard memory for saving profiles, a relatively low maximum DPI compared to premium competitors, and reports that the specific placement of the burst fire button can lead to accidental clicks for some grip styles.
