Verdict

The Trust GXT 928 Helox is an ultra-lightweight wired gaming mouse featuring a distinctive honeycomb shell design and a total weight of just 65g. It is equipped with an optical sensor providing an adjustable DPI range from 200 to 6400, a 1000Hz polling rate, and six programmable buttons manageable via dedicated software. Its main pros include exceptional value for money, high agility for fast-paced games due to its light build, and striking 'breathing' RGB rainbow lighting that illuminates through the shell. However, potential drawbacks include a somewhat flimsy build quality with noticeable shell flex, a stiff braided cable that can cause drag, and a design prone to accumulating dust in its perforations.
