You do need to consult the manual for a full overview of what does what – going in and trying to figure it out will get you nowhere – but you can see a full list of instructions here. Each of the Venator's buttons lets you change something different – for instance, pressing the scroll wheel lets you change the LED brightness, while pressing the side buttons will change the DPI sensitivity. In essence, it is quite simple – press and hold the profile button for 5 seconds, the LEDs will flash three times, and you can begin to adjust the settings. Instead, Ninox has designed a system where you can adjust these settings from the mouse itself. However, that does not mean you can't change things like DPI stages, lighting options or lift-off distance. Adjusting mouse optionsĪs I mentioned on the first page, the Venator does not come with any software. This included using it while gaming, editing photos and for general office use.

To test the Venator, I used it as my daily driver for one week. Lastly, the Venator's cable is made of fairly thick rubber, and it measures just shy of 2m long. Turning the mouse over reveals the two PTFE mouse feet, as well as the PMW 3360 sensor. For those interested, the primary buttons use Omron D2FC-F-K(50M) switches, rated for 50m clicks. Over at the top of the mouse, we find a large scroll wheel, a single button for switching profiles, as well as the primary buttons. In practice, the ‘point' didn't cause me any discomfort at all, but it is worth pointing out. You will have noticed by now that the Venator is quite unusual in that its bottom end tapers to a point – giving it quite a sharp appearance. This strip, along with the Ninox logo and scroll wheel, provide the Venator's LED lighting – something we look at on the next page. In the above images, you can also see the large LED strip which almost completely surrounds the mouse. The right hand side is bare, apart from more textured plastic. If you're after a small and lightweight gaming rodent, however, it could be perfect.Īs we mentioned, the left hand side sports two side buttons as well some textured plastic to help grip. At just 78g as well, the Venator won't suit those who like big and heavy mice. It's definitely a smaller mouse, too, measuring 122(L) x 62(W) x 40(H) mm. It is ambidextrous, but there are only side buttons on the left-hand side. The focus is very much on the mouse itself, and the Venator certainly sports quite a unique design. Inside, included accessories are thin on the ground – we get an A4 user guide as well as two spare mouse feet. The mouse is visible through a plastic window on the front of the box. The Ninox Venator ships in a simple box made of thin cardboard. Profile 3: 1600 DPI / Green LED / 100% Brightness.Profile 2: 800 DPI / Blue LED / 100% Brightness.Profile 1: 400 DPI / Red LED / 100% Brightness.Selectable USB Polling Rate**: 500hz, 1000hz.Selectable Lift Off Distance (LOD)**: Low, High.Selectable LED Colours Per Profile: White, Red, Pink, Magenta, Violet, Blue, Sky Blue, Cyan, Green, Toxic Green, Yellow, Orange.Synchronized mouse movement data with USB polling rate.Very low latency tracking and button response.

Clearly, it is designed to be a no-frills mouse which offers top performance, so let's put it through its paces and see how the mouse fares. It deliberately does not come with any software, weighs a mere 78g and has 6 buttons. Other than the PMW 3360, the Ninox Venator is quite light in terms of features. Could it be the best mouse you've never heard of? It is the latter mouse we are looking at today, which includes a PMW 3360 sensor for just £39.99. The British-based manufacturer has built a strong reputation within enthusiast circles, though, with its Aurora and Venator models.

Unless you are a very keen mouse enthusiast, it is unlikely you would have heard of Ninox.
