Verdict

The Sharkoon SKILLER SGM2 is a wired, right-handed gaming mouse featuring an optical SPCP6651 sensor with four preset levels up to 6,400 DPI, a 1,000 Hz polling rate, and a 1 mm lift-off distance. Designed with a classic ergonomic shape, it includes rubberised sides, six buttons (two for the thumb), and RGB lighting with six selectable modes controllable via an underside switch without needing software. Its primary advantages are its affordable price, driver-free plug-and-play setup, and comfortable grip for palm users, while notable drawbacks include its relatively heavy 106g weight, lack of customisation software, and a stiff textile-braided cable that can create friction.
