Dream Machines DM1 PRO Gaming Mouse PC

It’s a traditional fps shaped mouse with a hump three quarters of the way towards the back and has a sloping front. Its shaped very similar to the Zowie FK series and has 3 pads on the base which are C shaped and are a decent size. There is a LED logo on the rear saying D3 which changes colour depending on the dpi profile selected while fading in and out in a breathing motion. It has six buttons + a scroll wheel press and its aimed towards right handed players though with its even shape could be used by left handed players if they don't mind the buttons on the left side. I wasn't off to a good start with this mouse as it rocks on a flat surface and I originally thought it was because of the feet having plastic on them to protect them but once removed it was still rocking. This could just be a one off and sorted with some sand paper and a gentle rub. The mouse is coated with a soft matte black finish which feels nice to touch but does show finger prints super easy and is especially obvious on the main buttons. It is well built bar these few issues which could be resolved with a few tweaks as there are no rattles or creaks in the main shell when under pressure. This is where for me it’s a deal breaker. The 1.8m braided cable is the most inflexible cable I’ve come across on a mouse it’s ridiculous. It could be mitigated with a bungee but even then I would expect the cable to push out of the bungee and the only fix for this would be a Paracable mod. The well-known PMW3310 optical sensor with a fixed 1000mhz polling rate. It has five switchable dpi settings via the button on the top with 400/800/1600/3200/5000. During the tests I didn’t find any issues with the mouse as the 3310 sensor preformed as reliable as ever. When running the sensor tests on the cloth surface it felt that it was affected more by the feet dragging/friction rather than on the hard surface. It could certainly benefit from some new skatez giving it even more control and a little speed boost. The scroll wheel is nice and smooth with a light flick required to make it move, though I’m my opinion to light if you want to be precise. There are some notches but these aren’t easy to feel and require little work to go past them. At high speed when gaming I missed a lot of weapons when trying to use it for switching due to over shooting. The centre click is ok, nothing good nothing bad and I didn’t get any miss clicks. The Wheel is surrounded in rubber that has some arrow shaped groves making it decent and stops you from any slippage. It has six 6 buttons and a press down scroll click. The main left and right buttons are using the Omron 20m click switches that have that lovely crisp click. The left side thumb buttons are easy to find and have a cut out between them so that you don't get confused and mess up. Although this is a nice touch it means that for my hand size the front button is a little far and requires me to readjust my hand to reach it. The switches under these are rated to 3m clicks and combined with the button cap these do feel spongy. The specs say this weighs in at 89g and when I weighted it I got a surprising reading of 83g. There is no software provided which is disappointing so the best option for remapping the side buttons is to use x mouse buttons. You get a manual, Spare set of Skatez which is nice and that’s it. The overall built quality could be improved with a few simple fixes but at this price it shouldn’t be there. A deal breaker is the stiffness of the cable which makes it a real hindrance for any average gamer upwards and for general desktop work would just be annoying. I would certainly not recommend this mouse but the overall brand has potential so I would certainly look at the DM1 FPS.

For me this mouse was better then the final mouse original 2016. Finalmouse is good for being light with good sensors but built quaility isnt good as dm1 and for medium hand to large hand sized people it would be small. But dm1 is good size and also very light i think only 10 grams different. Superb built quaility no rattle or anything. Love the shape and flick is never been better. Also feel like i have more control in precision moves.

The footpads seem to catch and add more resistance than typical gaming mice offer. The build feels cheap, but its more sturdy than expected.

Sensor freezes mouse comes at 1000hz polling rate. you can download firmware and change the polling rate to 500hz, however, you cannot revert back. If you do so, customer service won't help you. So you're stuck with 500hz. JUST A WARNING.. mouse cable drags, although you can bend it upwards to keep from scraping your mouse pad. mouse button 1/2 - good mouse button 3/4 - one of the best I've felt. mouse coating is better than zowie....imo Not a fan of the DM logo. Dream Machine customer service wasn't good for me.

I am an avid gamer 4-12 hours every day depending on if I work or not. I have had this mouse for a weekend and with about 20 hours of solid gameplay, between csgo, league of legends, and overwatch. I can say this is my favorite mouse, the feel, weight, sensor, switches, everything is perfect. I have owned a logitech 303 and Steel Series Rival 300, both are great, this DM1 though is on another level. There are no rattles, the buttons are all responsive without delay, and the 3010 sensor is just as snappy as ever. The only concern with this mouse is the rubberized coating, but from personal experience with the Rival 300 (which has the same coating) I had no issues with over a year of heavy gaming on the coating. I would recommend this mouse to all aspiring professional gamers as well as anyone grandma, it is that good and simple. No software bloating and it is perfect for anyone, and it does not look like it came from the movie "Predator" or from a light show. I love it.

If you're looking for a sensei with a good sensor this is your mouse. **After a lot of months of use the sensor now freezes***
