Verdict

The Cooler Master CM310 is a budget-friendly, wired gaming mouse featuring a PixArt A3325 optical sensor with a maximum resolution of 10,000 DPI, adjustable across seven pre-set levels. Its ambidextrous, ergonomic design is complemented by textured rubber side grips and a balanced 100g weight (excluding the 1.8m flexible cable), making it suitable for both palm and claw grip styles. Key highlights include eight buttons, a 1000Hz polling rate, and multi-zone RGB illumination with five preset modes that require no additional software for customization. While it offers excellent value with its plug-and-play simplicity and reliable build, its main drawbacks include a lack of dedicated software for advanced macro programming, fixed DPI steps that prevent custom sensitivity settings (e.g., 800 DPI), and a slightly high lift-off distance of approximately 2-3mm.

(Reviews last updated: May 2026)

What customers like about Cooler Master CM310?

  • Excellent value for money as a budget gaming mouse
  • Vibrant RGB lighting with five preset modes and wrap-around strip
  • No software required; plug-and-play with physical buttons for DPI and lighting
  • Balanced weight distribution (approx. 100g) for fluid control

What customers dislike about Cooler Master CM310?

  • Lack of dedicated software limits deep customisation (no macros or custom DPI steps)
  • Symmetrical shape can be uncomfortable for some users during long sessions
  • Side buttons are only on the left, making it less 'ambidextrous' for left-handed users
  • Noticeable cursor movement (jitter) when lifting and repositioning the mouse
  • Rubber side grips can become slightly slippery over time
  • Fixed DPI steps (500, 1000, 2000, etc.) prevent precise sensitivity tuning
  • Thick, non-braided cable can be somewhat stiff and resistant
