Fnatic BOLT Gaming Mouse Review 10

Fnatic BOLT Gaming Mouse Review

Shape & Dimensions »

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a charging cable (Type-A to Type-C), wireless extender, wireless dongle, quick start guide, and set of replacement feet inside the box.

Weight


My scale shows around 68 g (+/- 1 g), which is almost exactly in line with the weight cited by Fnatic. In terms of size and shape, the mouse closest to the BOLT is the AQIRYS T.G.A., which too is Zowie S2-inspired, yet weighs 8 g more while resorting to holes across the entire shell. Accordingly, the weight of the BOLT can only be described as excellent.

Cable


The BOLT comes with a paracord-like, braided charging cable (USB Type-A to Type-C). An anchor at the mouse-end of the cable ensures the cable not coming loose during use, and contrary to the one Glorious is using for their mice, does not prevent one from plugging in the connector in either orientation. In terms of flexibility, this one is roughly on the same level as the Glorious charging cables. Accordingly, the BOLT can be used as if it were a wired mouse with barely if any perceivable difference in terms of handling. The measured length of the cable is 1.85 m.

The charging cable also functions as an extension cable if used in conjunction with the wireless extender. The wireless extender can be used to keep the distance between dongle and mouse as short as possible. Since the mouse itself lacks a storage compartment for the dongle, the extender can also simply be used as something to attach the dongle to, which reduces the likelihood of losing the dongle when traveling.

Feet


The feet on the BOLT are non-dyed pure PTFE (Teflon) feet with slightly rounded edges. Glide is excellent. Unlike on other mice, the bottom profile of the feet isn't flat but with ridges on the edges, which are supposed to improve stability. If anything, stability is worse in practice as the indentations on the shell are much deeper and wider than the rather subtle ridges on the feet, thus greatly reducing surface area. Functionally, there is little reason for doing this at all, but it does make using third-party aftermarket skates more difficult. A set of replacement feet is at least included in the box, which somewhat eases that concern.
