Verdict

The Newskill Arakne is a versatile gaming mouse featuring a PixArt PMW3325 optical sensor with a maximum sensitivity of 10,000 DPI and a 1,000 Hz polling rate. Its ambidextrous, lightweight design (71g) is complemented by nine programmable buttons, customisable RGB lighting, and a 1.75m braided cable. Main pros include its modularity with interchangeable top covers, adjustable weight system, and high-performance Omron switches for durability. However, some users note potential cons such as its wired-only connectivity compared to the Elite version and a slightly larger body volume (334.66 cm³) that might not suit those with very small hands.
