TESORO Sharur SE Spectrum Review - Gaming Mouse

First impression of the Sharur SE Spectrum

The Sharur SE is simply delivered in a cardboard box that contains a short instruction manual in addition to the mouse. The gaming mouse appears visually in an interesting piano lacquer look with matt rubberized side elements. Due to the symmetrical design, the mouse can also meet the needs of left-handers. Another outstanding feature is the LED lighting, which can illuminate the TESORO logo on the top, the mouse wheel and the rear part of the bottom with up to 16.8M color variations.

For better gliding ability, the Sharur SE is equipped with gliding pads on the underside both on the front and on the back. The mouse cable measures 2 meters in length and is rubberized. There is no textile covering. As a result, the cable is on the one hand not too rigid, on the other hand cable breaks are more likely. There are a total of 6 control buttons. In addition to the left and right mouse buttons, there is a 4-level DPI selection button, a clickable mouse wheel and two side buttons. All buttons are freely programmable. The first impression of the click feeling is positive. The keys sit tight and have a comfortable pressure point.

 Overall, my first impression of Sharur SE is positive. As a left-handed person, it is often difficult to find a symmetrical mouse with a good feel. Although the mouse does not have a rubberized surface, it is non-slip in the hand. The gliding ability is not objectionable after a few first movements.

TESORO Sharur Spectrum Software

As a plug & play peripheral, the Sharur SE can be used without any drivers. However, in order to be able to use all functions, you should download the Sharur SE Spectrum driver. This is available free of charge on the official TESORO homepage. A driver CD is not included in the scope of delivery.

7 languages ​​can be selected within the user interface of the TESORO software. German is one of the 7 selectable languages. Unfortunately, the translation was less successful, which is why I quickly switched the software back to English. The software is clearly structured. There is a sub-item for the key assignment, there are performance settings for the DPI, the sampling rate, the mouse acceleration, as well as the click and scroll speed. Another sub-item is the effect management. The lighting of the mouse can be freely selected here. There are also four effects to choose from.

In the test, the effects management proved to be reliable, at least for the most part. Once you have selected the color and the effect, it takes a few seconds for the selection to be applied. The "OFF" function, which was supposed to switch off the lighting completely, is to be criticized, but did not work in the test. The macro function is also questionable. Markos can be configured manually, but the "Record" feature has no function.

Practical test of the Sharur SE Spectrum

The mouse was mainly tested in the current game "PUBattlegrounds", and several CS: GO sessions were played with the Sharur SE. Before I even started a game, I created 4 DPI profiles. You can choose between 250, 400, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 3000 and 4000 DPI. In addition, the sampling rate can be adjusted in four steps from 125 Hz, over 250 Hz and 500 Hz up to 1000 Hz. I quickly found my favorite setting at 1200 DPI and 500 Hz. The change between the profiles is smooth and you are notified of the change via a brief display on the screen. Especially with CS: GO, I found it advantageous to switch between two DPI profiles at lightning speed.

The optical sensor is an Avago A3050, which is often found in inexpensive gaming mice. It is said that the sensor does not belong to the “flawless” or error-free sensors because, for example, jittering or a noticeable algorithm correction occurs or is present. Jittering can be easily understood by drawing a straight line in MS Paint. If deviations appear that were made independently of the mouse's own movement, this failure is referred to as jittering. In fact, the Sharur SE also has low jittering. Nevertheless, one should keep in mind that this mouse is primarily aimed at the casual gamer.

I also count myself among the casual gamers and, considering the price, I am satisfied with the gaming suitability of the Sharur SE. You mouse glides cleanly on the mouse pad and lies comfortably in the hand thanks to the rubber coating on the side. The disadvantage of the non-rubberized housing is that dirt accumulates very quickly. Handling is not impaired by the non-rubberized surface. The jittering mentioned above did not have a negative effect on gaming either. What I would have liked if the mouse were a little heavier. Especially with precise aiming, the mouse glides a little too easily on the mouse pad.
