Thank you Gamdias for sending us this mouse to review!

There are many great choices when it comes to laser gaming mice.  Some gamers prefer lots of buttons while others like the ability to change their mouse's weight and responsiveness.  Most gamers appreciate a good bargain and the Gamdias ZEUS Laser Gaming Mouse GMS1100 has a lot to offer for its $60 price tag on Amazon.  As of this review Newegg sells the same mouse for $100-125.  

The ZEUS provides 11 buttons with nine of them being customizable with the Hera software.  Unfortunately, the software only runs in Windows.  Besides the left and right mouse buttons, the left side has an additional five buttons and there are another three below the clickable mouse wheel.  

The middle mouse buttons are great for changing the DPI on the fly.  The DPI can be changed to 400, 800, 1600, 3200, and 8200.  I found the 8200 DPI to be too fast in Windows and ran it at 3200 most of the time. While the Gamdias logo is permanently set to yellow and the lights below are red, the mouse wheel and left mouse light can be set to the six colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.)

While the software is easy to use and update, I did run into problems with it crashing when launching it.  The basic mode will let you adjust the default DPI, polling rates, cursor speed, scroll speed, double click speed, and scroll wheel colors.  By switching to the advanced mode you can customize macros with timers and sound files.  The muscle memory is a pretty neat tab that displays the mouse's stats with how many times the various buttons have been used.  According to GAMDIAS, this mouse has a 11 million click life cycle.  I'm just over 10,300 as of this review.  

The hardware is solid and I like the tool-less adjustable side panels that let you widen and tighten them.  There are replacement panels and slider surfaces included the box.  Many gamers like weight adjustable mice and the ZEUS is no exception with five 4.5g weights that can be removed to make the mouse lighter and faster.
