Third-party reviews

What we like about Ardor Gaming Phantom

  • Versatile connectivity with 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB options
  • Lightweight build (approx. 69gā€“71g) improves maneuverability and reduces fatigue
  • Rich package contents often including replaceable back shells, grip tapes, and extra glides
  • High-performance PixArt PAW3335 or PAW3395 sensors providing accurate tracking
  • Ambidextrous/symmetrical shape comfortable for various grip styles
  • Capable of being used while charging

What we don't like about Ardor Gaming Phantom

  • Relatively short battery life (rated at ~36 hours) compared to premium competitors
  • Proprietary software design can be unpolished or difficult to navigate
  • Potential quality control issues, such as issues with the scroll wheel encoder or microswitches over time
  • Lacks advanced convenience features like onboard profile switching buttons

Verdict

The Ardor Gaming Phantom is an ambidextrous wireless gaming mouse featuring a PixArt PAW3335 sensor with a maximum sensitivity of 16,000 DPI, 400 IPS tracking speed, and 40G acceleration. It offers versatile tri-mode connectivity via 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and a 1.8m wired USB connection, supported by a 1,000 Hz polling rate for responsive gameplay. Main pros include its lightweight 71g design, integrated RGB lighting, and the ability to use the device while charging its rechargeable battery. However, potential cons include a relatively short battery life of approximately 36 hours and the lack of a dedicated profile switching button or onboard memory profiles.
