Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance quality PC components and peripherals. With the Light² 180, Sharkoon introduces the newest member of the Light² family. The gaming mouse aims to impress with an extremely low weight and easy handling. It boasts a high-performance PMW3360 sensor with up to 12,000 DPI and a symmetrical design with a honeycomb-structured upper shell.

A particularly pleasant handling is offered by the low weight of the Light² 180 at only 63 grams. The honeycomb structure of the upper shell should support a secure hold in the hand while it also contributes to the light weight of the Light² 180. However, the shell can be exchanged for a closed version, which is supplied with the mouse, in just a few simple steps - allowing the mouse to be adapted to individual needs. With dimensions of 120 x 63.5 x 39 mm, the Light² 180 is not only one of the lightest, but also the most compact representative of the Sharkoon Light² series. Thanks to its symmetrical shape, the Light² 180 should offer comfortable use, regardless of the preferred grip and playing style.

We already posted our review of the Sharkoon Light² 180.





Precision Equipment
So that the Light² 180 can be controlled accurately, the mouse is equipped with an optical PixArt PMW3360 sensor. With its maximum resolution of 12,000 DPI, this enables precise maneuvers. DPI settings can be adjusted along seven levels using the downloadable software. The levels can be selected at any time using the DPI switch of the mouse.

Unrestricted Room for Maneuver
So that nothing stands in the way of the uncomplicated use of the Light² 180, Sharkoon has not only focused on reducing the weight. Thanks to its three mouse feet made of 100% PTFE, the mouse glides smoothly over any surface. It should be thus possible to execute fast and fluid movements with high precision. The textile-braided cable, which is extremely robust thanks to its sheathing, provides additional flexibility.

Stylish Illumination
The Light² 180 sets colorful accents via the light strip at its rear, the mouse wheel, which is also provided with RGB lighting, and the illuminated Sharkoon logo inside the mouse. Thanks to the downloadable software, a wide variety of settings can be made with the lighting, enabling a high degree of customization.

Quality Switches and More
The downloadable software also allows the six buttons of the Light² 180 to be freely configured with different functions as well as recorded macros. In addition, Omron switches in the left and right mouse buttons, with a lifespan of over 20 million clicks, ensure the longevity of the mouse.

Price and Availability
The Sharkoon Light² 180 is now available at the manufacturer's suggested price of 39.99 euros.

Smart to include a closed shell, because I just think that those mice with lots of holes are the daftest trend, and that anybody buying one would soon realize that it is a stupid idea.
