Features & Specifications
The Wolf King Trooper Gaming Mouse has some nice features including adjustable sensitivity on the fly to 800, 1600, and 2000 dpi. The mouse also has a feature that allows you to fire one to four shots per button click. You choose how many shots are fired with each click by hitting the round button directly below the scroll wheel.

When activated the scroll wheel glows with a different color to let you know what setting the feature is at. A red scroll wheel is two shot per click, blue is three shots per click, and continuous shooting is a purple scroll wheel. No light on the scroll wheel is standard one shot per click.

Under the button that controls the fire mode is the button for choosing sensitivity. It works with the LEDs on the side of the mouse to show you which of the three sensitivity settings the mouse is at from 800 to 2200dpi. The Wolf King Trooper Gaming Mouse is a right hand design that has two buttons right above where your thumb rests on the right side.

Wolf King Trooper in Use
The Wolf King Trooper Gaming Mouse is a large mouse compared to other gaming mice I have around the office from Razer and Logitech. The Trooper feels very large in the hand; some may like that, though others may find it too big. If you have small hands, the Wolf King Trooper Gaming Mouse may be uncomfortable for you but most gamers will find no issues with its size. The mouse is definitely sized more for palm control that fingertip.

For instance on my Logitech G9 the mouse is sized so that I can rest the palm of my hand right above the wrist on the mouse pad and use the mouse with my fingers only. This provides for more accuracy and faster movements. The Wolf King Trooper Gaming Mouse however, is too large for my hands to be able to use the fingertip grip. The size isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless you like using your fingers to move the mouse.

The 2200dpi sensitivity is good and works well for general office work and gaming. Some gamers who are accustomed to the recent batch of higher sensitivity mice may find 2200 dpi to be lacking, but most gamers will find the sensitivity to be good. The drivers are nothing to be excited about and are simple and generic. They worked fine for me, but if you are used to seeing drivers from Razer or Logitech you will find the Wolf King Trooper Gaming Mouse drivers are not up to that level of flexibility. What this mouse does have going for it is a very low price.

Gaming with the Wolf King Trooper Gaming Mouse was good. The multiple shot feature works well and was accurate in Bioshock. The mouse itself is accurate and while feels large in hand, is comfortable for extended gaming. The side buttons are placed well so there is little chance of hitting them accidentally.
