Another product from the bag of Steel Series.

The mouse is well-put together, although it looks more tank like than it really is. It’s in fact pretty light. I expected it to be of the same mould as the heavyset 7G keyboard, but it isn’t, for better or worse. It is however still has excellent built and quality.

The shape of the mouse is such that it is meant to accommodate a hand at rest and certainly has a legitimate grip once you get used to it. The thumb buttons are very well-placed, although the sensitivity button is a bit out of the way, probably intentionally. It’ll switch you between user-set high and low sensitivity settings, and you can change it in the mouse as well by holding down the button and then scrolling to adjust the DPI.

When doing large movements I found the Ikari to move naturally and go where I thought it would go — to the region of an icon or button or enemy, whatever. But any kind of medium-or-small-sized, controlled movements get messed up. You’ll end up where you want to be, but that cursor is going to take a few detours along the way. I couldn’t make it go in a straight line to save my life. I double checked for competing mouse drivers, switched up native sensitivity, changed the DPI, changed the mouse pad to a Steelseries one, nothing I did could make it stop wiggling. And then there was the tell-tale wobble of the cursor when at rest, continually appearing on screen during a movie that hides the mouse when not in use. Changing the DPI had no effect on the Ikari’s nervous jitter.

But it is well-built, fits my hand well, has nicely-placed buttons and a few handy features. 
Overall, I would rate it 6.5 out of 10 for fps games like Counter Strike.
