I got a good chance to test out the ROCCAT Lua at a two-night LAN-party. That means I got an in-depth feel of the mouse over an extended period of continuous usage.

The Experience

I just came back from the LAN-Party yesterday, and i can already say that the mouse works very well for long gaming sessions, since it almost never gets uncomfortable. Even though the ambidextrous design pulls a bit down on the comfort level, it's not turning down the niveau of comfortability much.

If we look at the performance, it has a variety of different settings that you can play with as you please, to make it fit exactly for the game you're playing. The ROCCAT Lua has seven, or so, different dpi-speeds, that means moving too fast or too slow won't be an issue. It has three different buttons, that can be altered to do many different mouse-related functions. It even has a setting for left-handed people, which sets the left mouse button to function as the right mouse button, and converserly.

The ROCCAT Lua has anti-sweat sides, which means that the sides are rough and after some habituation it is really hard to live without.

Another cool thing about most ROCCAT mouses, includning the Lua, is that you can download a software, where you can customize the dpi-speeds and more.

To be honest a very impressive experience for such a simple mouse.

The Look

The ROCCAT Lua have a very simple and clean design, the two mousebuttons, the scroll-wheel and the dpi-changer right beside the scroll-wheel.

As for aesthetics, it has a ROCCAT- logo on the piece where your palm will be resting, that lights up, and can be set to shine constantly, pulsate or be turned off completely. In addition the Lua haves a ROCCAT written on the right mousebutton, which can be annoying if you place your fingertip right at the text, but it looks good, nonetheless.

There is a little text saying Lua in the front bottom.
