Our editors hand-pick these products using a variety of criteria: they might be direct competitors targeting the same market segment, or they could be devices that are similar in size, performance, or feature sets.
Magnificent modularity helps the Mountain Makalu Max secure a place at the top of the gaming mouse chain, but its subtle approach is perhaps a bit off-brand for the company.
For 89.99 USD (a reasonable offer), you get an excellent, rather heavy (110 g is the minimum weight), high-end 19K DPI wireless gaming mouse aimed at players who want functionality over lighting effects (because here, you'll get only the area around the scroll wheel lit up). It's very subtle design makes it a comfortable mouse for daily use.
Diseño modular cómodo y configurable, conectividad de altas prestaciones y un ecosistema común ya maduro que permite sacarle todo el provecho a sus 8 botones personalizables, son las principales señas de identidad del Mountain Makalu Max, una opción a tener muy en cuenta si buscamos un ratón gaming inalámbrico muy completo.
El Makalu Max es sin lugar a dudas una mejora de alto nivel a la familia Makalu de Mountain que busca darnos el pico de rendimiento gracias a las características integradas en el mismo. El sensor, los switches y la duración de la batería son excepcionales pero el diseño modular no es algo tan innovador. Su precio lo vuelve competitivo pero un poco más de agarre lo hubiese hecho menos tedioso de usar.
As I mentioned in the intro of this review the Makalu Max has some features that many would consider “old school”. These include an adjustable weight system as well as optional side grips. These features really allow you to customize the mouse to your liking. For me I prefer the mouse with the larger left side grip installed. The optional weights are easy to install and remove too.
