Nova Gaming Slider X600 review

Tests and lights

Slider X600 performs flawlessly in lots of applications. Providing substantial accuracy and abilities. You can re-program any of the mouse buttons, along with any other settings in three profiles. As a default button for switching between profiles is set the gray button on top of X600, and for knowing which one are you using you can choose one of the five available light colours - blue, light blue, green, red and purple, all of them not pre-set to a certain profile but selectable - both comfy and cool :). Alas not everything was absolutely trouble free. We had some issues with the buttons, for example The small buttons on the left didn't work in Sacred 2 and few other games at all, which was rather unfortunate. After all this is a gaming mouse, what use do we have for additional programmable buttons if they don't work in games?

Besides all the shining light on the mouse, we noticed another interesting feature -a metal clip on the USB cable. at firs its purpose was a tad unclear but later we figured that it is there for the purpose of being clipped to one of the Nova Gaming game pads. This option even though at first glance useless is in fact quite the opposite - very useful. Thrust us on that, clipping the cable to one of the Nova Gaming mouse pads makes it feel like a wireless mouse. You'll never notice the X600 cable and that is indeed very comfy.
