ThermaltakeTt Esports IRIS Optical 16.8 Million Color RGB Aura Illumination 9 Lighting Effects 5000 DPI PMW3325 Sensor Ergonomic Software-Controlled Gaming Mouse MO-IRS-WDOHBK-04

TTe Iris Review**The Basics**Latest release from TTe Sports (Feb 2018). The Iris is a med-Large right-handed ergo mouse. 3325 sensor. Two-zone RGB with reactive options for music, GPU temp and button presses. Software. 2000hz polling rate. 20M Huano switches. $30 on Amazon. Testing prior to review 4 days.**The Good*** The shape. Safe, comfy, versatile, basically a home run and pretty similar to the EC2A. I like the shape better than the G203, G403 and Rival 310 and a lot more than the MM530. It is excellent for medium palm, excellent for med-large fingertip and good for large claw. A small claw grip could have issues, but this mouse is probably not going to turn off many people ergo-wise.* The primary clicks are light, highly tactile, a little on the quiet side of average noise-wise. My first thought was that they were similar to G403 and maybe TT copied the spring tensioning trick. The mouse is advertised on Amazon (as of this writing) as having 20M omrons. Nope. When I opened up the mouse I simply found huanos, and no spring tensioning either. These are the first huano switches that qualify as “light” in my book, and I love’em. Click force is less than the omrons on the TT Ventus R, slightly heavier than the G403.* The two big thick mouse feet keep the mouse nice and stable and glide well. No problems and they look quite durable.* Lift off distance is low enough, maybe 2 DVDs. Not the lowest, but just fine in practice. LOD is not customizable as with the Ventus R but I’m not complaining.* Scroll wheel. Adequate tactility in the scroll steps for shooters, light scroll resistance. Middle click is moderate to hard. Scroll has a nice rubber tread that feels good but it makes the scroll feel a little narrower than it is. I prefer a wider scroll button surface, but this is decent.* Aesthetics are good. The mouse looks every bit as high end as any other mouse in my collection even before the RGB modes come into play.* Lighting options. The RGB modes are varied and look good. Not a huge selling point for me, but when it looks this good, you’re glad to have it.* 2000 hz polling rate. Default is 500hz, adjustable from 500-2000 in 500 hz increments via software. I ran a few accuracy tests to see if I could feel the difference between 1k and 2k hz. It was a longshot since I intentionally ran the tests at 60 fps – where most players will be playing. Even though I thought the cursor felt more snappy, I think it was simply placebo - accuracy did not improve in testing.* Overall build quality is solid. No rattles, even when tapped. Plastic is thick, no creaks when squeezed.**The Middling*** Used the G403 for a day before this mouse arrived just to compare sensors. The 3325 sensor feels good, pretty snappy but less direct than the 3366. To me it felt pretty similar to the 3310. (Accuracy-wise it scored a mean of 84% on my subjective accuracy test, in the same ballpark as the Ventus R (86%) which is a smaller TTe mouse that uses the 3310.)* Textures/materials. The mouse feels plastic-ey. Does not feel bad, it’s solid, but does not manage to feel anywhere near premium either. The texture on top looks rough but it feels smooth. I wish it felt as rough as it looks.* Even though this is not a heavy mouse, it does weight 96g weight without cable and it is a little tail heavy. I opened it up hoping to find a 10g weight inside. I didn’t. The weight and tail-heaviness are due to a thick translucent baseplate. Would have preferred thinner baseplate for 5 grams lighter.* Software. I was able to run it initially the first time booting it up. After that I couldn’t get it to display despite the program starting up in Windows Task Manager. Windows troubleshooter got it working a second time in Win 7 compatibility mode. The functionality is there and it isn’t incredibly unintuitive in some areas, but I’ve had issues getting two different versions of the Command Center running and that’s annoying.**The Bad*** Angle snapping was on by default in the software, need the software installed to disable it.* The side grips are a hard, glossy plastic with a honeycomb pattern, a durable but cheap and frustratingly poor choice. Grip is not an issue for me primarily due to mouse shape, but TTe could do a LOT better in this department. A honeycomb pattern using the same material as the top of the mouse would have been better, same with no honeycomb pattern at all.* Thumb buttons had a lot of pretravel out of the box. The rear had zero tension on it till pressed in a significant distance. Pressing on the very rear portion of the rear thumb button only twists the button. It’s actually possible to press the very rear of the rear mouse button all the way in without actuation. When I opened the mouse up, I placed a small piece of electrical tape on the end of the plunger for each button so that it makes contact with the switch sooner, now the buttons feel similar to the G502, which is to say fixed. I can definitely live with them now.* I can’t figure out what the sensor action on/off button in the software does, other than apparently turn off the sensor when “sensor action” is on. Wierd…**Conclusion**If you were to cross the Ventus R and the Intellimouse Explorer, this would be pretty close, and that’s a good thing. I prefer the shape of the Iris to the likes of the G403, Rival 310 and especially the MM530. Even though the MM520 is still the most comfy mouse I’ve tried, your hand has to be in a specific position so it feels more limiting than this mouse. I put the clicks on nearly par with the G403 – the new “light huanos” are excellent. The scroll is better than the G403 with a better rubber tread than the MM530. When choosing between mice, it’s almost always a game of tradeoffs, assuming you are familiar with enough mice to know where those tradeoffs are. I fixed the squishy thumb buttons, and the side grips are a disappointing choice that I can live with. The biggest downgrade involved with this mouse is that if you go with it, you’re trading away the flaws of upper end mice for the lack of a perfect senor. I’d prefer not to make that trade. I want this mouse with rubber or non-glossy, textured plastic sides and a 3360 sensor darnit.Given that this is a good mouse for $30, but lacks a 3360, it is not more than a middling value. At the current price point it beats out the likes of the Corsair Harpoon and will definitely steal some G203 sales due to the shape. The build quality is decent, what you lose with the sensor and mushy thumb buttons is mostly compensated with polling rate, RGB options and a winning shape. Do I think this is the best mouse I’ve tried? Nope. Do I think this is an exceptional bang for the buck? No. But this mouse lacks any really significant flaw that prevents me from enjoying it, and there’s a lot to be said for that. The ultimate test of the mouse lies in the question of “would I be incredibly depressed to be stuck with this mouse for the next few years given everything else out there?” No, I would not. TT needs to fix the mushy thumb buttons, put soft rubber grips on the sides, make the texture as rough as it looks on top and stick a 3360 sensor in this mouse. They also need to get the software reliability thing worked out. Do those things and the ownership experience would be A+ even at $50. As it stands, I personally like this mouse more than the MM530 and roughly on par with the Rival310, even with the sensor downgrade involved.Bang for the Buck Grade: BNit-Noid Rating: 8.6

Good design and easy to grip. The RGB looks fantastic and the size is perfect for most people. Sides feel a bit cheap, and it can be hard to clean sometimes, especially if your hand gets sweaty easily.I really don't notice the wire most of the time, it's long enough and flexible enough to be tucked out of the way.Mouse buttons and sensor feels very responsive, but the middle mouse button is slightly heavier than I would prefer. Clicking feels very satisfying and the sound is great.Side buttons are very accessible, but there are only two. I do hit one of the side buttons occasionally by accident but that's just me. They are quite responsive and light.Used mine for a few months until the scroll wheel broke, not a huge deal considering I don't use it that much but still slightly disappointed it didn't last very long.

Product support is trash. Drivers are trash. Mouse won't update firmware at all. Often disconnects from the PC on boot and needs to be unplugged and plugged in again. Tried USB 3.0 and 2.0. I'm not a computer novice; I know what I'm doing.Such a shame. It was comfortable, good weight, and the RGB syncs great with TT RGB Plus software. But usability trumps aesthetics. Recommend the Redragon M711. Redragon makes amazing budget keyboards and mice.

If you want a cool looking - AND AFFORDABLE - mouse, this is it! Buttons are in just the right spot! I've been using this for a few months now, and very happy with it!

This is an excellent device at this price point. It feels good in hand, the Rgb is beautiful and my nephew loved it.

Really great value for the price. Does what you would want a mouse to do. Been using it for a few weeks and it works great.

Work good. Finally got my tt esports set of keyboard and mouse. Everything works as advertised.

I've usually stuck with a single brand for all my keyboards and mice for many years (starts with an "L" - and they do sell them here on Amazon), but I saw this mouse and decided to branch out. And I'm glad I did! I've a great mouse, very comfortable, moves easily and adjustable DPI (dots per inch, basically a measure of sensitivity). So you can fiddle with it once you install the software and find just the right level of sensitivity for you. It is corded, which some may consider a drawback - but you don't have to worry about latency or having to replace the batteries, so it's not too bad a tradeoff, particularly as this is generally meant for a gaming desktop that would be pretty stationary.I'm typically not a fan of RGB on things either, but the ability to adjust the mouse lights in any way you like (like say, a fairly dim static red glow) are quite comprehensive and mean you can certain avoid any sort of light show while still making it easier to use the mouse at night/in the dark (and, if you do want a light show, this can deliver in spades). The mouse does require installing software to get to these advanced features, but the software seems to work just fine without being too intrusive - tested on Windows 10.Overall, I would say this is a pretty decent upgrade to the reasonably nice mouse I was using before. I knew Thermaltake for their quality PC components, but now I guess I'll think of them for their input devices too!

Je suis vraiment content. Elle est vraiment cool ! Elle fonctionne très bien. Pour avoir le logiciel de gestion de la souris, il faut aller sur le site de Thermaltake. On peut utiliser plusieurs profil existant ou les personnaliser comme on le souhaite. Amusez-vous et faites des jaloux avec cette superbe souris LED !

Ótimo vendedor, chegou no prazo estimado e sem qualquer defeito no produto, muito bem embalado e protegido, sem nenhum amassado na caixa.Mouse muito bonito, ergonômico, fácil utilização e peso ideal para utilização em jogos ou tarefas cotidianas.A minha ressalva fica no acabamento do fio, pois, eu tinha um Tt eSports Black V1 (usei por 6 anos) e o fio tinha uma proteção de náilon ao redor do fio principal.

I’ve been using a talon blu for a while and this was a great switch. The only criticism I would have for this though. This would be the weight of the mouse. If it had the capability of adding weights, that would be the ultimate mouse.
