Verdict

The Cooler Master CM Storm Havoc is a right-handed gaming mouse powered by an Avago 9800 laser sensor, offering a high sensitivity range of 100 to 8200 DPI, 30g acceleration, and a 1000Hz polling rate. It features 8 fully programmable buttons equipped with Japanese Omron micro-switches rated for 5 million clicks, along with 128KB of onboard memory to store up to 4 macros and 5 profiles. Key pros include its comfortable ergonomic design for palm-grip users, a durable 1.8m braided cable with a gold-plated USB connector, and a grippy rubberized body coating. However, some users note cons such as the right side's glossy finish being prone to slipping and gathering grime, and the small middle side button being difficult to press without accidentally hitting adjacent buttons.
