Mountain Makalu Max
A great wired gaming mouse, but sometimes a frustrating wireless one
HOW YOU HOLD
your mouse can be as personal to you as your fingerprints. Mountain’s Makalu Max comes with a host of customization options, meaning it appears to be well suited to a range of different hand sizes and grips. This strategy of user customization is what has made the company’s keyboards so successful, after all.
We really want to like the Makalu Max. And most of the time, we really do. It’s got a classic PixArt sensor, offering up to 19,000dpi should you need such a level of sensitivity, but it also comes with interchangeable weights. That’s not hugely innovative on its own—many other mice have done this in the past—but few have gone with the sort of weights that enable you to balance that weight around different areas of the mouse body.
