Epomaker Click Wireless Gaming Mouse (White) Review

For those familiar with Epomaker, seeing them stepping into the gaming mouse market can feel unexpected. The team from the “Epoch of Makers” has built its reputation around – cool and affordable – mechanical keyboards, so seeing it launch a competitive gaming mouse naturally raised an eyebrow or two. That said, it’s easy to be won over by how Epomaker Click Mouse doesn’t take a wildly experimental approach, and mainly focuses on refining the fundamentals that matter most to gamers, rather than offering something needlessly flashy. Heck, even the name reflects what this is all about. It’s a Mouse, and you Click with it. And it feels good to do so. Simple as that.

Unboxing Click Mouse is straightforward as the device itself. The packaging doesn’t go overboard, and there are no oversized accessories to talk about. Everything is neatly organized and practical, with the mouse sleeping in a nice spongy nest. Underneath, one can find the wireless dongle, a braided USB-A to USB-C cable of surprising quality, grip tapes (which have a somewhat sports aesthetic), and some light documentation. Nothing screams luxury, but it delivers everything needed to get started immediately and doesn’t feel cheap or incomplete. We got to try the slightly prettier white version, but black, or more accurately black grey, remains an option.

Actually using the mouse follows the same philosophy of not trying something new and just refining what has already been established in the industry. What these fancy words are saying is that the shape of it (curves and all) feels very good. The matte coating provides excellent grip and is closer to the coatings used by premium brands than something from a budget-oriented peripheral. The only issue here, which isn’t really a flaw but a word of caution, is that big handed apes like the one writing this will find Click Mouse to be a bit on the smaller size. It’s not tiny like those that cater to the laptop crowd, but generally if in need for something to fill your palms do check if 12.1×6.36×3.87 cm sounds good.

What’s great is that despite its size, it still provides enough palm support to feel stable. Similar to the dimensions of the device, those used to bulkier gadgets might find the 58g to be quite light. The truth is that the weight lands in an excellent middle ground. It is light enough to feel fast and agile but doesn’t cross into the territory of it feeling like an unstable feather. More importantly, despite it being light, the shell is actually sturdy, and “squeezing” the plastic coating during tense gaming sessions doesn’t feel as if it will crack on your hands. Of course, Click Mouse isn’t really a product made to withstand something beyond its intended use…

Tested with carpal-tunnel-giving titles like Diablo II and the current South Korean religion, StarCraft, as well as a couple of fast-paced, fun-producing, first-person shooters, all the buttons act the way they are supposed to. The only thing worth mentioning is that the scroll wheel is a bit more resistant compared to others of its kind. It’s accurate and doesn’t have that loose feel of cheaper gaming mice, but those who rely on it heavily for their gaming needs (especially if into the competitive FPS scene) may find it slightly tiring after longer sessions.

Performance-wise, the PAW3950 sensor (with which you’ll get almost zero smoothing or minor shaking) paired with up to 42,000 DPI is almost very powerful. Truth be told few will ever come close to maxing it out, but much like owning a high-performance car, just knowing it’s there adds a certain satisfaction. Switching between the six DPI levels is seamless and genuinely useful, whether you’re aiming for pixel-perfect precision while sniping demons, navigating your desktop, or just trying to look productive while doing neither.

The tri-mode connectivity adds a necessary amount of versatility, letting the mouse switch between wired USB-C, low-latency wireless, and Bluetooth modes depending on whether you are gaming or simply working somewhere where you don’t want any cables in front of you. Regarding the battery life, it’s hard to say anything about it in just a few days of use, but after many hours trying it out, and playing with its settings, the led indicator that shows when the Click Mouse is thirsty for some energy still hasn’t begun blinking. So, good job… err, 500mAh unit.

The Epomaker HUB software can be described as simple yet practical. Rather than overwhelming users with unnecessary features and being bloated with social media junk and account systems, the interface is as lightweight as the mouse itself and easy to navigate while you play with settings like DPI adjustment, polling rate, macros, LOD configuration and so on. Everything loads quickly, settings are generally easy to locate. Anything special to talk about? No. That simplicity is refreshing compared to some larger gaming suites that consume system resources just to look cool. Beyond some typos and one or two unclear terms, nothing bad to say here either.

All in all, the Epomaker Click Mouse ends up being one of the more surprising gaming peripherals in a market dominated by massive brands, somehow managing to compete without relying on flashy marketing, exaggerated gimmicks, or by emptying one’s pocket like a set of Warhammer 40,000 figurines. It is comfortable to use, has a strong sensor performance and a more than decent price. It needs some minor amount of refinement, sure, and its shape is not a one-size-fits all, but as a whole this is a very solid, value-for-money recommendation.
