A mouse with excellent OMRON switches, a highly accurate sensor and an ergonomic body to hold it in your hand for long sessions without fatigue. What more could you ask for?

First of all, we thank ThunderX3 for giving us the TM20 for analysis.

Thunder X3 TM20: technical characteristics

Thunder X3 TM20: unboxing and description

The Thunder X3 TM20 mouse comes to us in a cardboard box of usual dimensions for what we usually see in this type of product, as we see in the photos, the colors black and orange predominate, the same ones that we find in the body of the mouse and its cable. The box has a large window so that we nickname to appreciate the product before going through the box, a detail that only the largest brands usually offer and this time it leaves us with a pleasant feeling. When opening the window we can also see the main characteristics of the mouse that we will delve into later.

We open the box and we find a plastic blister that contains the mouse properly protected, in this sense there is not much more to say nor can we expect more in a product as economical as this.

We leave the wrapper aside and move on to the mouse itself. First of all, we are struck by the presence of a bright orange cable with a rubber finish. This rubberized finish gives the cable a very nice look and feel but it does not end there since it is a perfect anti-tangle solution, something that is highly appreciated. We quickly found that the rubberized finish of the cable does its job perfectly by greatly reducing tangles. In this aspect, the ThunderX3 TM20 surprises very pleasantly when trying to innovate in an aspect in which not even the most expensive mice on the market do, once again this young brand shows us that it pays a lot of attention to its products to try to always offer an extra front to the competition.

The ThunderX3 TM20 has dimensions of 123.5 mm x 72 mm x 38.5 mm along with a weight of 145 grams, so we are in front of a fairly compact mouse, its successful weight will provide us with a very good balance between precision in movements and speed at time to slide it across the surface of our mat. The ThunderX3 TM20 is based on a symmetrical design that will adapt very well to the hands of all users, both right-handed and left-handed, although it is more intended for right-handed users.

The body of the mouse is mainly made of high-quality black plastic, despite this we observe that its sides are finished in a double material injected with texture to improve adherence to the user's hand and prevent it from slipping in sudden movements, at the same time it breaks with the predominant black color that would be excessive. The wheel is also made in orange and offers excellent performance with very precise movements both on short and long distances, the grip on the finger is also very good.

Accompanying the wheel is a small button that will allow us to adjust the DPI level of the sensor on the fly and at preset values of 1000/2000/3000/4000 DPI to adapt to the preferences of a large number of users. A high DPI value allows us to make a great tour with a very small movement of the mouse so it will be especially suitable for multi-monitor configurations. In contrast, low DPI values will be ideal in games where high precision of movement is required.

Also at the top we find the two main buttons that have Japanese OMRON mechanisms of enormous quality and that ensure at least 20 million keystrokes, there is no doubt that it is a mouse that has been thought to offer the user great durability, These buttons are slightly curved to offer a much more comfortable grip and are perfectly accessible to the fingers without any effort.

On the left side we find two buttons that will help us perform tasks such as moving forward and backward in web browsing, it also provides us with two additional controls for our games. They are pleasant to the touch and are quite hard, giving us a good quality feeling that will not break in a short time. The right side is completely free except for the rubber pad.

On the back we find the brand logo that is screen printed and therefore has no lighting.

At the bottom we find the AVAGO 3050 sensor with a maximum resolution of 4, 000 DPI, 20G, 60 IPS and a small switch that serves to turn the lighting on and off to our liking.

At the end of the 1.6 meter USB cable we find the USB connector of a fairly large size and gold plated for better conservation over time and better contact.

ThunderX3 software

In order to get the most out of the ThunderX3 TM20 mouse we need to install its corresponding software, we can download it from the official website of the manufacturer, once downloaded, its installation is extremely easy. We open the software and first of all we see the possibility of creating up to three different profiles to always have our mouse ready for different situations of use, something that is highly appreciated. Through the software we can assign the functions that we want to its six programmable buttons. a very simple and intuitive way.

We continue with the possibility of configuring the mouse lighting in intensity, light effect (breathing or continuous) and the speed in case we choose the breathing mode. By cons lighting is only white and we can not change the color.

To finish we find the mouse sensor settings, we can configure its four DPI profiles in values ranging from 500 to 4000, always in ranges of 250. We also find the acceleration and polling rate settings. As we can see it is a very configurable mouse so it will be easy to leave it to our liking.

Final words and conclusion about Thunderx3 tm20

The ThunderX3 TM20 has been shown as a mouse of good quality and great features. A design that feels comfortable in the hand, buttons with switches of the best quality, a good quality sensor and a cable with a finish that helps reduce tangles, all this we get in a very economical product.

After using the mouse for several hours it can be said that its operation is very pleasant both in basic tasks and in games, the button to adjust the DPI allows us to regulate the speed of the cursor movement to adapt it to our needs and all this in a way very comfortable. Whether you are a gamer or another type of user, the Thunder X3 TM20 will provide you with a very pleasant mouse to use for all your tasks.

Finally, the movement of the mouse is excellent, getting to work in perfect conditions on various surfaces, although as always, if we want to obtain the best result, the ideal is to use a mat. In this sense it is quite a success that we can use it with its metallic legs or with the attached Teflon ones.

The TunderX3 TM20 is for sale for an approximate price of 30 euros.
