The mouse wheel feels a little large and chunky but well fitted, secure and firm with noticeable resistance in its use. The wheel is made from clear plastic with a black silicone sleeve that sports a tyre tread pattern. Very much designed for gaming and not productivity. Regardless rapid and repeated clicks are still achieved accurately and easily. In contrast, I find the sensitivity and resistance offered by the buttons on the HV-MS735 to be far better, but there is perhaps still a little room for improvement. Personally, I found the LMB & RMB on the HV-MS732 to be a little sensitive and soft offering little in the way of resistance. (It should be noted that the RMB sounds much quieter compared to the LMB, so it is possible the sound from the LMB from my HV-MS735 LMB might not be by design). A single click at 30cm registers as 43db and repeated clicks registers as 56db compared to a 38db single click from a M318e. The action of the switch, however compared to other mice in my collection is rather loud. The button covers are nice and firm with absolutely no wobble. The HV-MS735 is well built, everything fits together well with no large panel gaps of concern, the buttons are nice and tight (as is the wheel) and there are no scary rattling noises from within, it just feels… well rather plastic. The weight of the mouse is 126g this measurement is not 100% accurate as even when holding the cable in the hand the scales will take a small amount of the cable’s weight into account. As a result of having a larger ring finger rest on the 735 the rest for the little finger has been noticeably reduced to the point where in reality there is no rest for your little finger on the HV-MS735. The reason for this is the ring finger rest on the 732 was smaller and the rest for the little finger was larger, and this worked well. Unfortunately, this is one feature that is not an improvement over the HV-MS732. Below this there is also a slight ridge for your little finger that is somewhat difficult to actually measure. On the right side of the mouse there is a grooved ridge support for your ring finger measuring 18.5mm wide at its greatest point. Its depth also varies becoming narrower the further it produces with the outside edge measuring 2.5mm deep. This measures 4.5cm long at its greatest point or 2.3cm at its shortest on the outside edge and as previously noted protrudes by about 9mm. Unless you desperately need all the buttons on the HV-MS735, you may find something like the Editors' Choice Corsair M65 RGB Laser Gaming Mouse more comfortable, but still highly adaptable to your play style.Below these buttons is the thumb rest protruding from the base of the mouse.
To avoid bumping into these buttons at the wrong times, I found myself twisting the mouse (and thus my wrist), which was neither ideal nor ergonomic.
This deployment is clearly to ensure you can quickly find and press any of them without looking, but it's neither effective nor intuitive when you're using the mouse in a non-gaming situation. They protrude at uneven, unpredictable distances, following the contours of the mouse side in an awkward way. The thumb rest at the base of the mouse juts out quite a bit, and at an odd angle, which means it's in the way a lot and not at a place the thumb on the hand naturally falls (or at least the thumb on my hand). The mouse isn't especially comfortable, mostly thanks to the unusual left-side design. Angle Snap (which you can turn on or off), Gesture Correction (from -2 to 2), and X/Y Sensitivity (from 1 to 10 on both axes) are the final options.įor as much as Havit got right in the basics of the HV-MS735, it fell down a bit in usability. With Scroll Speed, you can alter the behavior of the scroll wheel. Select from any of four options under USB Report Rate, or 11 under Mouse Speed or Double Click Speed, if you want to make any adjustments to those. (One of the four lights in a column on the top of the mouse will light up depending on which of the four initial stages you choose this doesn't exactly make sense, given that there are seven total, but it's harmless.) Under Lighting you can adjust the time delay of the default Neon effect, or switch to and configure Respiration (a single color, slowly brightening and dimming) or Standard (always on) mode. DPI Setting lets you specify seven stages of DPI to step through using the arrow keys on the top of the mouse, upping any to as much as 12,000 and putting them in any order you want. There are a lot of other options in here to tweak, too.
