Cooler Master MM710 – Gaming
Using the MM710 was barely more effort than moving my hand around on the table. It’s so light it’s essentially not even there.
Because a featherweight mouse like this is really intended for the kind of twitchy gameplay in FPS titles, I ran it through its paces in Fortnite and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. After using the MM710 my personal day-to-day mouse felt more like pushing a brick around on my desk. After getting used to the MM710, I found that when on my ordinary mouse, every motion was harder—and less precise—because I had to overcome my lumbering mouse’s inertia both at the start and the end of every movement. In comparison, and without exaggeration, the MM710 is utterly effortless.
It’s so light it’s essentially not even there.

The results were immediately noticeable, where I became a faster and more accurate shooter. The MM710 improved every aspect of gameplay, but I’d say it was most noticeable in sniper scenarios, where I was able to zero in on targets almost without conscious thought. I hadn’t realized how much of an albatross my (already quite light) 75-gram mouse was before, but with the MM710 I was able to dart across the screen with precision, never overshooting the target because the mouse wanted to keep moving.
The DPI cycle button is a godsend for changing the mouse’s sensitivity when switching weapons, allowing me to dial the DPI in response to whether I needed to shoot a fairly tight center-screen pattern with a shotgun or quickly dart around the extremities of the screen with a rifle. I eventually reprogrammed it, though, to focus on just three DPI settings I preferred, rather than the default spread of seven settings that bounced around the DPI spectrum.

Before I started playing, I was a little worried about the cord would be stiff and interfere with the motion of the mouse. No worries here. The cord is light, flexible, and had no effect on the mouse’s movement or placement.
One major concern, though: All. Those. Holes. Even on a tidy desk, I worry about the long-term condition of the mouse around food and drink. Cooler Master says the printed circuit board assembly in the mouse’s belly is water and dust resistant – and that might save the mouse from a mortal injury if you spill water on it, but what about a Coke? Regardless of the water protection, cleaning a mouse is hard enough to start with, without residue getting into those holes and sticking to the insides. Is it going to be a problem? I used the mouse for a few weeks and managed to keep it clean, but I know what my normal day-to-day mouse looks like, and I assure you it’s not pretty. I can’t imagine any scenario in which the honeycombs don’t eventually get caked with grime and you need to clean it with a cotton swab.
A Quick Jaunt Through Portal
The MM710 uses a Cooler Master configuration software utility called Portal. Portal is simple and clear to use, though it can be a bit finicky on startup. I had to re-download the version of the app specifically associated with the MM710, even when I already had it installed, to have it detect my mouse.
Once you’re in, though, you can program macros, set up to seven DPI presets, calibrate the mouse to your mousepad, and set preferences like angle snapping. The simple look of the MM710’s body belies the customizability here.
You can set and save up to five profiles for the MM710, which can be synced to specific apps and stored in onboard memory so you can use them on any device. Alas, Portal cannot store more profiles than the mouse, though. If you want to make profile six (and seven, and eight), you’ll have to export the ones you have, then swap and reimport them when you want to go back. It’s a small hassle, but it’s enough to keep some players from making too many game-specific profiles. Other configuration programs let you create and use as many profiles as you like on your home PC, so this feels a tad limiting.
Build Quality & Materials
The Cooler Master MM710 looks to be quite the sturdy mouse, none of the sides flex very much when held normally, it is definitely a sturdier mouse than the similarly priced Model O-. There are a couple of oddities with extra pressure specific spots on the side walls or the bottom of the mouse you are able to actuate the buttons through the shell itself but that is something that will never happen in regular usage.
The shell is made of a standard ABS plastic, the holes in the shell are well placed with no hot spots in my grip or irritations in general. The scroll wheel is coated in a soft rubber.
The Cooler Master MM710 comes in a white or black colour, with no RGB options, it’s a straight to the point, stealthy gaming mouse.
Thoughts on the design
I got the black matte finish of the MM710. Although you can get it in glossy black or white, as well.
Black really suits my set up and now all my equipment is Cooler Master. I use the MP510 mouse pad and MasterKeys keyboard. It wasn’t my intention to go full Cooler Master, but that’s how things have turned out.
In general, I’m not a fan of the honeycomb design for mice. But it does help to get the weight down, so it’s a necessary evil.
The holes on the MM710 are a little larger than other mice with the honeycomb design. Some users may have problems with the size of their holes, but this hasn’t been a problem for me.
You see, there are no holes where you place your main (index, second, and ring) fingers or thumb. Sometimes my pinky rests on a hole because of the way I grip the mouse but this causes me no issues.
If you use a fingertip grip and place your fingers far back on the mouse then your clicking fingers could rest on the holes. You may or may not like this, and it’s something to bear in mind.
Overall, I like the minimalist black design of the MM710.
Мастер Мышь учится летать
Cooler Master MM831 — это элегантная шестикнопочная игровая мышь с шестью кнопками. Его размеры 1,72 на 5 на 2,6 дюйма, он выглядит довольно высоким, но на самом деле он немного тонок для своей длины. Однако это различие не влияет на его форму: MM831 имеет прочное низкопрофильное шасси, которое удобно лежит в руке, даже без эргономичного выступа, который обычно бывает у правшей мыши. При весе 4,34 унции это немного тяжеловато для соревнующихся игроков, хотя это недалеко от других беспроводных киберспортивных мышей, которые, как правило, весят немного больше из-за своих встроенных аккумуляторов и других компонентов. На мой взгляд, хорошее сцепление определенно стоит своего веса.
Дизайн кнопок является стандартным для правшей с шестью кнопками: у вас есть два щелчка и колесо прокрутки между ними, с селектором предустановок DPI (оптический датчик предлагает до 32000 интерполированных DPI) в центральном столбце. С левой стороны вы найдете кнопки вперед и назад. В дополнение к настраиваемым кнопкам вы найдете два входа, связанных с подключением, на нижней стороне: переключатель с тремя настройками, который переключает между режимами проводного, 2,4 ГГц и Bluetooth, и кнопку сопряжения для настройки соединения через Bluetooth.
Наличие обоих типов беспроводного подключения — хороший плюс. Соединение на частоте 2,4 ГГц, устанавливаемое через USB-ключ, является лучшим соединением для игр, поскольку оно совершенно стабильно, но не на каждом устройстве есть свободный USB-порт, поэтому поддержка Bluetooth делает MM831 более универсальным. Как и большинство беспроводных мышей с внутренним аккумулятором, MM831 может работать как проводная мышь, если подключена к компьютеру через порт зарядки USB-C. Тем не менее, немного странно, что вам нужно использовать вышеупомянутый переключатель на нижней стороне, чтобы установить мышь в проводной режим, поскольку большинство похожих беспроводных мышей подключаются и сразу же начинают работать. Это самое незначительное из неудобств, но о нем легко забыть, особенно если вы выключаете питание перед тем, как снова переключиться на беспроводное соединение.
Однако не все в беспроводных возможностях MM831 безупречно. Срок службы батареи — проблема. Cooler Master утверждает, что MM831 должен проработать 60 часов без RGB-подсветки, но только 16 часов с включенной подсветкой. Я обнаружил, что он работает немного лучше, чем рекламируется, так как мне нужно было заряжать его только каждые три-четыре дня, но это все еще не идеально
Емкости достаточно, чтобы каждый день уделять внимание времени автономной работы. Не помогает то, что индикатор низкого заряда батареи представляет собой серию мигающих подсказок с подсветкой RGB, которые легко пропустить, если вы играете в игру или работаете
У мыши также есть пара хитростей в рукаве. Прежде всего, он оснащен беспроводной зарядкой Qi, поэтому, если у вас есть под рукой беспроводная зарядная панель для смартфона, вы можете пополнять ее между использованиями. Кроме того, панель, закрывающая основание / область ладони мыши, удерживается магнитом, и при ее снятии открывается место для хранения беспроводного ключа 2,4 ГГц. Хранение ключей — действительно одна из самых недооцененных функций любой беспроводной мыши или клавиатуры. Почему у всех этого нет? Хороший вопрос. Я спрашиваю себя об этом каждый раз.
Packaging, Accessories, and Documentation
Packaging for the MM710 is quite compact, as neither dimension is over six inches! On the front, laid on top of the Cooler Master purple we see on a lot of their products, we see the mouse in near life-size. We are told at the bottom that this is a pro-grade gaming mouse with a honeycomb shell and Ultraweave cable. That leaves us with the three white circles at top-right, where its light weight is shown, the 16K DPI range, as well as the 10-million clicks of the main switches.
The right side of the box does not afford a ton of room for information, but Cooler Master figured out how to cram in the fact that this is a gaming mouse, the MM710, and if you need more information visit them online, in twenty-three languages!
The back of the box starts with the Cooler Master name and logo, as well as the MM710 naming, but below are six things they feel you need to know about it. It has a lightweight honeycomb shell, it is an ambidextrous shape but no concessions made to left-handed gamers. There is mention of the PTFE feet used, the Ultraweave cable covering, the high-end switches, and lastly, showing us the 16,000 DPI optical sensor. These features are then repeated in eight languages before we see the support address, system requirements, and the model/serial number sticker.
As we make it to the left side of the packaging, we see that Cooler Master offers the logo and tagline to the left of the full name of the MM710. At the right, we see the specific model number to the included mouse on the sticker with UPCs.
Under the packaging, or on the bottom panel, we find regional information should you need the address of one of them, or if for some reason you need to make contact by phone, it is all right here for you to use.
Inside the box, there is only some folded cardboard for crush protection. Thankfully our sample was packed well in a larger box, but the reality is that if this box was under something substantial, that cardboard is going to offer little resistance. The mouse is also wrapped in a thin foam bag to protect the finishes, which it did perfectly, and we also see a baggie with bits in it set into the gap of the cardboard.
The guide provided with the MM710 is small and to the point. Once opened, we are shown the button overview, there each button on the mouse is labeled. On the next panel is a pair of charts for package contents, and on the back panel is where Cooler Master presents the warranty information. Our MM710 is a pre-release sample, and things may have changed, but there is no mention anywhere of the MasterPlus software, or where to obtain it.
We cannot say this enough, every manufacturer who sells a mouse to someone should include a spare set of feet in the box, as Cooler Master did! Whether there comes a need to open the mouse to fetch out a screw that accidentally fell in, or when the time comes that the feet are just plain worn out, the replacement set is there, waiting to be used! As a reviewer, I need to remove the feet, which many are destroyed in the process, and having the extra set made our job so much easier!
MasterPlus Software
Cooler Master offers software for the MM710 under the name of MasterPlus. What we are showing may change along the way, as in the last week or so, we just got the software, and it has since been updated as well. Once installed and running, the first window you see is that for the buttons. In this menu, you can remap and customize functionality. Options are to disable, mouse, keyboard, Macro, Multimedia, Rapid-Fire, profile, DPI, and even sensor on and off. The DPI button is grayed out, and the left click is missing, and do not offer what the others do.
The performance tab covers a lot of things! The first bit we see are the seven levels of DPI, each customizable by clicking the box, and either grabbing the slider or direct entry of numbers into the X and Y axis boxes. Below the DPI section, we see things like the adjustable polling rate, the option of angle snapping, and optional high or low LOD. You can also tune the angles, adjust OS sensitivity, the double click speed, button respond time, and even tune the MM710 to your particular mouse pad.
The Macro menu is basic, but it can get the job done. You would first name a Macro on the left side, then press the record button for programming of it. You do have the option to enable time delays, and at the bottom, you can select how it is to be run when the Macro is enabled. However, we saw nowhere to edit a Macro, so it will need clearing and redone if it is wrong. However, we do like that we can import and export Macros, so existing ones can be carried over to the MM710, as long as you saved them before swapping the mice and deleting the old software.
The last of the options is to deal with the profiles. Select a profile first, then go and deal with the other tabs, but before that, you can name the profile, even importing and exporting them if you fill the onboard memory with them. Each of the five that are stored onboard the MM710 also can be opened with the launch of a program or game, making life easier on the user.
As a side note, the software will offer updates to both firmware and software when available. Since there is no place to look for such things, once MasterPlus is opened manually, it will search automatically, and when left running in the background, you will get a popup when new versions are released.
Программное обеспечение
Cooler Master MM710 настраивается через фирменное приложение MasterPlus+, причём настраивается здесь вообще всё: и клавиши, и даже прокрутка колеса. Таким образом, у мышки шесть программируемых кнопок, а ещё две функции можно поставить на скроллинг, что даёт внушительные возможности кастомизации. Интересно, что на отдельную клавишу можно вынести даже отключение/включение сенсора.
Тонкая настройка проделывается в меню «Производительность». Здесь можно поменять значения для всех семи режимов DPI, настроить отклик клавиш, а также откалибровать устройство по поверхности.
Редактор макросов здесь также присутствует.
Мышка обладает собственной памятью, в которой помещаются 5 профилей. Так что, если настроить клавиши соответствующим образом, между профилями можно будет переключаться даже без фирменного ПО.
Shape & Design

Medium to small handed relaxed claw/palm grippers rejoice! The Cooler Master MM710 fits neatly into a niche in the ultralight mouse market, the MM710 is a small mouse that’s a little taller with a more rounded out back hump than the likes of the Model O- and Ultralight 2. It’s not a a perfect palm grip mouse, the G-Wolves Skoll might be the answer there but the MM710 has a great ambidextrous shape that provides a really good alternative for folks who don’t particularly like the low profile nature of the Model O- or Ultralight Pro.
As a relaxed claw, I find the taller height and rounder back hump help the MM710 fit comfortably into the heel of my palm. For strict finger tip grips and heavy claws the Model O- or Ultralight 2 might be better suited for those grips but the MM710 is likely going to work for a wider range of grip styles.
The MM710 is shorter than the Model O-, so if you have shorter fingers and are looking to finger tip, the MM710 might be a better fit despite being a taller mouse.
At this point measuring the difference in grams between mice in this category is a bit of an ego contest, the MM710 weighs in at 53 grams, lighter than the Model O- and only slightly heavier than the base Ultralight 2, I can assure you, you won’t feel any weight disadvantages in using the MM710.
The sides of the mouse feature a good groove for picking up, the curve is more aggressive than the Model O-, which is something I appreciate. The back half of the mouse feature the CMHexagons, while the front half is left solid with ample room for your fingers to rest underneath the side buttons.
The primary buttons feature a very small comfort groove that does its job respectably. I’d say out of the three, the primary buttons are the least pleasing to use on the MM710 but the margin is very narrow.
The cable on the MM710 is excellent, flexible, thin and yet solid feeling. The cable is definitely top-tier up there with the Ultralight 2 for best stock mouse cable.
I’m still finding the feet a little scratchy after a couple of hours of play testing, you can hear in the video just how scratchy the mouse is out of the box. I think I can safely say that sensation will subside with some use, but it was jarring initially. The feet material is made of 95% PTFE, which is the standard top-tier material for mouse feet, the
The branding on the Cooler Master MM710 is minimal, with only the Cooler Master shape in the palm area of the mouse.
The shape of the MM710 is a bit of a peculiar one that doesn’t excel at any one grip, but might prove to be generally suitable for a wide range of gamers.

Things I don’t like about the MM710
In general, I really like the shape of the MM710.
But I find the hump position is too far back.
I have 18×9 cm hands with fairly long fingers and I find mice with a slightly more centered hump to be more comfortable. So I find the MM710 is a little uncomfortable.
Also, the middle mouse button click (or scroll wheel click) is really stuff. The amount of force you have to apply is too high and I can imagine it causing some pain to users that repeatedly try to click it.
Fortunately, I don’t use the middle mouse button for any of my keybinds in Fortnite or any other games, so this isn’t a problem for me.
But if you use your middle mouse button click for something important then you may struggle to use it with the MM710 and you’ll have to find an alternative keybind.
One of the biggest criticisms of the MM710 is the sensor position being too far back. But as someone that uses a sensitivity of roughly 25cm/360 I had no issues with the sensor position.
Unpacking the MM710
The box that the MM710 comes in has the classic purple and black colors that you expect from Cooler Master products. It’s well packaged, easy to open, and even comes with extra mouse feet.
Cooler Master’s MM710 is the first ultra-lightweight mouse that I’ve tried, and as I took it from the box and held it in my hands I couldn’t help but wonder how a mouse could be so light.
Weighing just 53 grams, the MM710 is one of the lightest gaming mice you can get right now. And although it’s incredibly light, it doesn’t feel flimsy.
The thing that really struck me other than the weight is the cable. The MM710 uses the new Cooler Master ultraweave cable that is composed of durable yet flexible material.
The cable is so soft and flexible that it feels like there’s nothing there at all. The MM710 has the best stock cable of any mouse that I’ve ever used.
I know that many users have reported problems with the build quality of the MM710. But I think that was from the first batch of mice and I must have gotten a newer batch because mine felt solid.
Even with some pretty violent shaking of the mouse, I can hear no rattling.
When I squeeze the MM710 from the top and bottom then the middle of the mouse does click. But this does not cause any of the buttons to action.
When I squeeze the MM710 from the sides I can get the back side mouse button to click. But I have to squeeze the mouse pretty hard for this to happen.
Overall, when using the MM710 for gaming I have had absolutely zero problems. In my opinion, the build quality is very good.
You would need to be squeezing the mouse with the strength of the Hulk to encounter any of the previously mentioned clicking issues when gaming.
