DPI Setting lets you specify seven stages of DPI to step through using the arrow keys on the top of the mouse, upping any to as much as 12,000 and putting them in any order you want. There are a lot of other options in here to tweak, too. These are all disabled to start with, which undoubtedly helps reduce confusion while you're acclimating to the mouse. Click on the Side button below the diagram to set up what each of the 12 left-side buttons do. Because these are pretty standard, you probably won't need or want to, but the option is there. (A mini CD is included in the box, though of course you can also download it from Havit's website.) Upon starting, the application displays a picture of the top of the mouse, with each of the seven buttons labeled open the Button Assignment menu to see (and, if you like, change) the function assigned to each. The effects of these buttons, as well as the nature of the lights and most other details of the HV-MS735, can be adjusted using the mouse's driver software. (Perhaps it goes without saying, but this mouse is for right-handed users only.) Bringing the total number of buttons to 19, this definitely brands the mouse as one for hard-core MMO players who may need or want to assign plenty of functions that can be accessed with a single, split-second click. This also calls attention to the HV-MS735's most dynamic feature, the 12 buttons on the left edge near where your thumb rests while in use, which glow in a solid blue. Plug in the mouse and it becomes more daring, with colorful, cycling lights that set off the "Magic Eagle" logo and limn the edges of the scroll wheel. The scroll wheel has a textured center for easier control, and gray plastic on the sides positioned immediately below it are an Up and Down button (by default, for cycling through DPI choices, which we'll get to). There's a patch of glossiness near its bottom, under which your palm rests during use, labeled with the words "Magic Eagle" and accompanied by a picture of a bird of prey with its wings outstretched. When off, it's all black, with most of the top panel (including the left- and right-click buttons) matte. On its face, the HV-MS735 ($34.99 at Amazon) looks unremarkable if not unattractive. But if the HV-MS735 is a good deal, a key departure or two from the norm prevents its execution from being great. With its HV-MS735 MMO Gaming Mouse, Havit has generally taken the safe path, delivering a decent swath of features, customizability, and solid driver software for a surprisingly low price of $49.99. The mouse thrives on, even demands, a certain simplicity of purpose, but getting any individual product to stand out from the crowd isn't easy. Manufacturers of gaming mice may face the most difficult path to innovation within the computer hardware industry.
