Introduction

Founded in 1999, EVGA is a US-based computer hardware company. Much like other recent EVGA mouse releases, the X12 comes with a whole host of features. First of all, just like the X15 and X17, the X12 is capable of true 8000 Hz polling. PixArt's PMW3389 sensor is used, complemented by an additional lift-off distance sensor, which allows even finer LOD adjustment. In addition to that, the X12 isn't just ambidextrous but symmetrical, which means it has side buttons on both sides. Omron switches rated for 60 million clicks are used for the main buttons. Furthermore, the X12 is compatible with NVIDIA Reflex, allowing one to measure click latency in real time on a Reflex-enabled monitor. Rich RGB lighting is present as well, and can be configured through EVGA Unleash. Despite all these features, the X12 weighs no more than 74 g, and additionally retails for just $49.99.

Packaging

Aside from the mouse, one finds a quick-start guide in the box.

Weight

My scale shows around 74 g (+/- 1 g), which is largely in line with the weight EVGA cites. Considering its medium size, lack of holes, and the presence of features such as side buttons on the right side and an additional LOD sensor, the weight is more than reasonable.
