Church Mouse


The latest addition to the family is a new JSCO noiseless gaming mouse. It may not look like much but its got it where it counts... Well, it doesn't have any balls but thats expected in this day and age. The JSCO mouse has REALLY REALLY quiet buttons. Quiet like you can hardly hear them, and it doesn't take long to really fall in love with its clickless slickness.

With four settings from 750-1600 dpi and a button to switch between them its darn quick to switch from a sensible desktop speed to an uber twitch fps turn-on-a-dime speed. Sounds like a gimmick, and probably is, but its a gimmick thats very likeable very quickly.

Two quiet thumb buttons, two quiet mousy buttons and ... Its Achilles wheel. The mouse wheel clicks like a Morse code dolphin. Actually clicking it is alright, but scrolling it just lets the whole package down. Feels like the wheel has left, right and center clicks giving you seven buttons plus uppy/downy scrolling which again is really nice.

Its a small mouse, lets call it compact. Smaller than the 'average' Microsoft mouse - you know the one - it kind of gets lost in the hand. But its not the size that counts, its what you do with it and you can do a lot with the JSCO without being heard.

Its a good mouse gaining high marks for excellent motion and a bunch of buttons. A couple of bonus points for being quiet and having dpi selection too gives this an 8/10. A quiet wheel and larger form factor would have earned it more points.
