There were lots of mice this year. Our team has reviewed over 20 models over the last 12 months, but one stands out as the best lightweight option and this is it.
Simply $69.99 at Amazon now you can buy the Turtle Beach Burst II Air, which truly deserves the “Air” title. This was already a good budget pick at full price, so at $30 off it’s even better.
The only time the mouse prices dropped to these values was during Black Friday, and if you’re still looking for last-minute gifts, you’ll even get it before the holidays.
At an impressively airy 47g and with 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, there’s nothing stopping you from throwing this thing across your desk (though please don’t throw it), and the Owl-Eye optical sensor will certainly be able to keep up.
With a maximum DPI of 26,000 and a maximum polling rate of 1,000 Hz, these aren’t the most impressive specs of the year (that honor probably belongs to Logitech’s latest release), but our tests suggest you’re not lacking in accuracy.
You get up to 40 hours of playback using a 2.4GHz dongle and up to 120 hours in Bluetooth mode, with the former being best for Twitch-type shooters and the latter being great for strategy or single-player games.
If you like flashy looks, you may be disappointed with this mouse as it has a very mundane appearance and can be prone to fingerprints, but it does the job in all the places a competitive gamer needs – and the software is some of the best on the market.
If you’re looking for a reasonable upgrade, Turtle Beach offers a very attractive little rodent.
