In the world of gaming mice brand names such as Steel Series, Logitech, Rocatt and Razer reign supreme. When we were offered a sample from a company called Shogun Bros we immediately thought of a cool new oriental themed Nintendo game.
Wacky company name aside, the new Ballista MK1 has been designed to challenge the big players, at a lower price point. We spent around a week testing this mouse and loaning it out to several competitive UK clan gamers to get other viewpoints. Is this a cheap ‘n’ nasty second choice option or a quality mouse able to stand its ground against the big players?
Shogun Bros have been hiding under the radar now for a while, making a splash at CES this year with a mouse that could be flipped over to double up a gamepad.
The Ballista MK1 however is a serious attempt to target the demanding audience who want the smoothest movement from high grade laser optics.
Can it meet the grade we expect from a high end gaming mouse?
