Verdict

The TeckNet Raptor (M268) is a budget-friendly, right-handed wired gaming mouse featuring a 2000 DPI optical sensor with three adjustable on-the-fly sensitivity settings (1000/1600/2000 DPI). Key characteristics include a 6-button layout, a 4000 FPS refresh rate, and an ergonomic design with a built-in 40g weight system for enhanced stability. Main pros are its comfortable palm-grip shape, durable fibre-knit braided cable with a gold-plated USB connector, and versatile tracking performance on various surfaces. However, notable cons include a lack of customisation software for the side buttons and LED lighting, a relatively low maximum DPI compared to modern competitors, and a somewhat lightweight or plastic feel for some users.
