The V18 is the cheapest mouse from EasySMX's lineup as you don't always see such products at below $10. It's a right-handed ergonomic mouse with a total of nine buttons and a low-profile shell that features a ring-finger rest. It features some basic surface materials and textured side panels, but no rubberization or any sort of special coating.

Build quality unfortunately is far from stellar. The whole shell can creak under pressure, and the scroll wheel and CPI-changer buttons rattle. As far as weight goes, the mouse weighs about 81 grams by default, which can be increased to 106 grams with five small cylindrical weights that can be installed underneath the bottom plate without disassembling the mouse.

Main buttons are surprisingly good on the V18 considering its price tag. They are snappy and tactile and of medium tension. They use Huano switches that are rated for only 3 million clicks. As for the scroll wheel, it's light and of medium tactility, and the middle click is of medium tension. The CPI buttons are generally alright, but all other clickers are pretty bad. The remaining ones are mushy, not too tactile, and feature some unnecessary travel.

The sensor on the V18 is worse than all others I've seen on a gaming mouse so far. It's a PixArt PAW3519, which cannot be called a gaming-oriented sensor in my books. It has a very low perfect control speed (barely above 1.2 m/s) and a huge lift-off distance, which generally makes for a bad experience. I'm not saying it's unusable, but it's definitely not built for fast-paced games, especially online shooters.

Its mouse feet are hands down the worst ones I've ever seen; they are simply grainy plastic bits with a ton of friction, and definitely can't be called smooth. As for the cable, it's stiff and has a lot of drag resistance, so affixing it in place somehow is highly advisable.

Software for this mouse is available, but I simply couldn't get it to work—just like the V50's program. None of the downloaded versions seemed to recognize my mouse on two different PCs, which is a strange phenomenon.

I generally wouldn't recommend the V18 for anything above office work and some casual offline gaming. It suffers from a lot of issues, but if your budget is really tight and you find its shape comfortable, it can be considered as an option.

While still a budget mouse, the BD-01 is the most expensive model of the three EasySMX mice. It's an ambidextrous, high-profile gaming mouse of medium size with side buttons on the left side only. I found its shape to be versatile, and depending on the size of one's hands and preferences, I think it can be a good choice for both claw and palm gripping. Its entire top surface feels rather soft and is semi matte, as well as painted in a camouflage pattern. The sides are rubberized, and there are some glossy inlays where you wouldn't grip it.

Build quality isn't perfect on this model, either. There is something that rattles around inside (I couldn't figure out what), and the whole shell can creak under pressure. I also found a stripped screw inside the shell. Weight-wise, the mouse is about 102 grams by default, which you may increase to roughly 130 grams with some weight plates. I'd advise against doing so since its initial weight is already on the verge of heavy in my opinion, though such is entirely a matter of personal preference.

Main buttons are pretty good on the BD-01; they are nice and tactile and of medium tension. They have a small, negligible amount of unnecessary travel. Unfortunately, the switches only have a nominal lifespan of 3 million clicks, which is fairly low considering the price. Unlike the previous two mice, this one doesn't suffer from any scroll-wheel issues; the scrolling is of average resistance and medium tactility. The middle click is somewhat stiff, while the CPI button behind it is harder and with more tension. The two front and two side buttons nearly feel identical; with an average amount of travel and medium tension, they are generally good.

Sensor-wise, the BD-01 has the most expensive tracking unit in it out of the three, but it's not a high-end model by today's standards. It's an Avago ADNS-9800, which was one of the most popular VCSEL sensors a few years ago, and it pretty much disappeared after the PMW3310 and PMW3360 came out. Overall, it's not a bad sensor, but has some unwanted acceleration and smoothing, and its perfect control speed isn't the highest either, although better than the other two tested mice. These drawbacks are somewhat compensated for with a low lift-off distance and good tracking performance on nearly any surface.

The mouse feet are smooth and have much less friction than those on the V50 and V18 mice. Unfortunately, there are no replacements in the package, but we're still talking about a cheap mouse here, so I won't think of it as a minus. What I'll take as a negative is the cable, though: it's the same as on the V18, which means it's a very stiff, braided cord with a ton of drag resistance.

This mouse is the only one out of the three I could actually run the driver software of. This program is lightweight and generally pretty well usable, but its design and grammar leaves a lot to be desired. Needless to say, such things are secondary as they don't really impair usability.

For $23.00, the BD-01 is not an astounding bargain, but a fair deal. It had the least problems of the three mice I've shown off in this article, and it's probably the most advanced of the three, too. With a little bit more focus on the build quality and some of the details, I would have happily recommended it, but as it is now, there are better alternatives in even this price region. If the shape suits your hands and you fancy its relatively low price, it can be a decent option.
