Review: Creative Fatal1ty 1010 Mouse

filed in Hardware on Apr.28, 2007

I was in need for a new mouse for my laptop and I was browsing around a local store for mice. I came across the Creative Fatal1ty 1010 mouse. Originally I thought the mouse was going to be expensive because of the Fatal1ty name on it, but I was able to pick the mouse up for $29.99 canadian (~35 bux taxes included)

I was impressed with the list of features for such an inexpensive mouse.

True Grip – 5 Point Control System
G-Weight – Interchangeable Modular Weight System
Rapid Res – One Click Resolution System with Color Indicator
SpeedWire – For fast connections
HD-Optix – Optical Engine 1600 CPI

This mouse is fairly comfortable to use for long gaming sessions. It has adjustable weights to suit your gaming style. The resolution can be changed on the fly, for any game or application simply by hitting 1 button.

Its pretty durable, I’ve dropped it many times on a cement floor by accident. The most that ever happens is the weight pops out.

The One-Click CPI system is pretty cool, you get a button right under the scroll wheel that lights up 3 different colors, green for 400 CPI, amber for 800 CPI, red for 1600 CPI.

You also get 3 different weights included inside of the box: 3.5 grams, 11 grams and 26 grams. I’ve been using the mouse for about 2 months now. Originally it was purchased to be used with my laptop, but I have since gotten a new mouse for that and started using this mouse on my main system.
