Review: tacens mars gaming mm3 mouse

We bring you the first of three reviews of the new additions of Tacens to its Mars Gaming series, this time with three mice of remarkable quality, and all of them located at a really aggressive price for what is usual in mice with sensors of a similar range. The first of them is none other than the MM3, the model with fewer buttons, but also the only one adjustable in length.

It is a wired mouse with a 16400 DPI sensor , 10 mechanical buttons (like all mice, really), internal memory, adjustable weight and 6 lighting colors to choose from. Let's go with the details.

Common features

All the mice in the Mars Gaming series incorporate the same top-of-the-line components, distancing themselves enough from the usual quality / price brand image to compete directly with the highest ranges.

The heart of these mice is the latest laser sensor released by Avago, a regular brand in the high ranges of brands like Razer or Logitech, with a whopping 16400 DPI. Although the majority of users will use at most 3000-4000DPI, it is appreciated to see that they have opted for a quality sensor, which even if it is used below its possibilities will continue to give us 30G acceleration and the highest possible precision with the Current technology.

In addition, 128kb of internal memory are incorporated in the three models, with capacity for up to 5 profiles and 10 macro buttons, more than enough even for the most demanding, so that we do not have to worry about reconfiguring the mouse if we are going on a trip or to a lan party. Personally I really appreciate this solution, since approaches like Razer's, to store profiles in the cloud, are cheaper for the brand but ultimately more inconvenient for the user, since you have to install the software on any computer you want use, and you depend on the internet to have your configuration available.

Of course the mouse has a polling rate of 1000hz, the usual in gaming peripherals, the maximum that the USB interface allows. The lighting is fully customizable in all three models, being able to choose between 6 colors from the configuration software.

The cable of all mice is covered in mesh fabric, ideal to minimize friction and face aesthetics and durability, although we must be careful on tables with sharp edges.

The connector is not far behind, in all three models it is gold-plated USB 2.0, again rare to see in this price range.

The differences begin and end on the outside of each of the mice, with different materials, number and distribution of buttons. The price difference is small between the three mice, but each one is focused on a specific sector of players. Next we will see the appearance and characteristics of this model.

MM3 Technical Specifications

Tacens Mars Gaming MM3

We start with the MM3, the smallest model in the series, and the only one that includes size regulation. The packaging is quite similar in the three models, with a sober but aggressive aesthetic box and more than enough to adequately protect the mouse.

As usual in many mice, the front of the box opens to reveal the mouse and get used to the idea of ​​its dimensions, aesthetics and ergonomics.

On the back of the box we have the specifications already mentioned in the main European languages, including Spanish

The external appearance changes a lot if we extend or fold the mouse, so we will show photographs of both possibilities to compare them at a glance. The mouse is only valid for right-handed people, and the design favors a palm grip rather than a claw, although personally I would say that it is reasonably usable with both. The left side has a protrusion to support the thumb, the right side gives good support when ringing, the little finger remains in the air.

Mouse fully deployed

Fully folded mouse

Users who have had or tried dimmable mice like the Cyborg MMO7 or Razer Ouroboros will find the system quite familiar. For those with big hands like me, the second option is probably more comfortable, with the mouse extended almost to the maximum, while for the average user, support seems somewhat better with the mouse folded. As can be seen in the last image, the surfers are generous, and of a fairly good quality.

We note that in this model the profile selection button is not included at the bottom as in the other two mice in the series, the profile change in this case is done by simultaneously pressing the two upper buttons (increase / decrease DPI), certainly somewhat more cumbersome than the dedicated button.

The weight system of this mouse stands out from the rest of the series, with weight holders that are mounted on the same pin that changes the length. To remove it, simply loosen the pin completely and pull in the direction indicated as open on the weight holder itself. After disassembling it whole, we are left with something like this:

Detail of the pin, the weight holder, and two of the nut-shaped weights

A detail that we did not like too much, the guides on the back in plastic, and unpainted on the inside. Nothing that makes me discourage the mouse, but it certainly detracts a bit from a very good result

The lighting is available in 6 colors, can be adjusted to stay on or blink, and is deactivatable for users who want something a little more discreet. An example of the possibilities can be seen below

The management software is powerful and complete, as we said very well detailed in the manual, although a little more limited than in the other two models

conclusion

We are facing a very complete mouse, oriented to games in general and very off-road in terms of genres and possible users, thanks to the number of buttons and the system to regulate the length.

MM3, MM4 and MM5 mice can be found around € 30, giving us a really good price / value for users who want a quality mouse, with a top sensor, and a tight budget.

The only downside that can be seen are the materials and finishes, but to find something strictly superior, you have to double the price, and we are not going to win much in the first place. The greater competition of this mouse comes from the Tacens itself, since the MM5 fixes these deficiencies without increasing the price, so unless the possibility of regulating the length is essential or the aesthetic has dazzled us, we recommend opting for this another model.
