Our verdict
The Cosmic Byte Helios is a well-rounded gaming mouse built for users who want more than just basic pointing and clicking. You get a practical design, up to 1000Hz polling, programmable buttons, software support, RGB lighting, and three connection options: wired, 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth.
Its multi-device support makes it especially useful if you move between a gaming PC, laptop and other compatible devices. You can use the connection mode that suits the situation without needing a separate mouse for each setup.
The Helios also gives you the features you would normally look for in a gaming mouse, including adjustable DPI, programmable controls and software customization. The 81g weight keeps it reasonably manageable while still giving the mouse a solid feel.
The only users we would hesitate to recommend it to are competitive FPS players who specifically want an ultralight mouse designed around competitive play. For gaming, work and everyday use, the Helios offers a well-balanced package without forcing you to give up useful features.

Very good. Few real compromises at this price.
Ours, and measured against this category's rubric — never against the other products in a round-up. It is never merged with the community rating.
