Verdict

The Sharkoon Skiller SGM1 is a wired gaming mouse featuring an optical PixArt PMW3336 sensor with a maximum resolution of 10,800 DPI, 30G acceleration, and a 1,000 Hz polling rate. It is characterized by its right-handed ergonomic design, 12 programmable buttons (including 5 thumb buttons), and a customizable weight tuning system that allows adjustment between 106g and 130g using six 4-gram weights. Main pros include its highly versatile programmability via dedicated software, durable Omron switches, onboard memory for up to 6 game profiles, and a 4-way scroll wheel. However, some users have noted cons such as the rear macro buttons being difficult to reach, a somewhat stiff braided cable, and potential long-term issues with double-clicking or loose weight compartment locking.
