UtechSmart Venus Pro Wireless MMO Gaming Mouse - 16000 DPI RGB

One step closer to the computer set up of envy! Being super cute aside the shape is nice my wrist doesn’t ache after gaming for a long time like my old one. Theres a billion buttons to program which is wildly helpful. One of my favorite features is mouse speed adjustment on top. You can quickly and easily adjust it to your needs depending on your activity. I don’t need my mouse to be fast while I’m browsing the internet but I do need it fast for gaming. Connecting it is literally as easy as plugging it in. And I don’t notice any difference in responsiveness between wired and wireless. 5/5 would buy again and recommend

Been four years, and wanted to say that I still love this mouse! Nothing is every 100% exactly how you want it, but this mouse has been great for four years now. I just realized how long it's been and how trouble-free the mouse has been. I haven't picked up the software in like 3 years (might not even be on my computer anymore?) but I've never needed it. The mouse has a comfortable, solid weight (and can be adjusted), tracking is great, buttons have a wonderful 'clicky' feel to them, and the grip texture is nice. Even more so, I haven't experienced any of the 'stickiness' you can sometimes get when rubberized texture starts to break down after a few years. This thing is a durable, reliable beast with a cheap price that's amazing quality for the dollar. It's DPI and sensitivity are high enough for everything but the very high-end specific type FPS games (looking at you, Counterstrike). I 100% use it for everything else. 10/10, would absolutely buy again!

Update: Nov 12, 2025 I have been using this mouse (now I have two and another brand but similar, Not Razers) for two years and I have no complaints. The office one that I use everyday (no games, just office clicking) have survived so far. Occasionally I have noticed that some of the programmed functions does not work. When this happens I open up the driver/program and resave. This seems to get the mouse back in line. - None of the buttons are bouncing so I am happy. - I have gotten used to the Program buttons so it is better. - I still have some problem with the mouse buttons 5 and 8 as described on the orig review. - Thumb rest still can be a bit higher so my thumbs is resting on the bottom row of buttons. Overall still a good mouse and if I need to replace this I would buy the same. Original Review: Oct 2023 I have several Razer Trinity wired Mice. They are on all my computers. I do not play games bit I like to program the buttons to do may of the repetitive clicking like copy, paste, cut and so on. All of the Razers, the left button/clicking started to bounce and I slowly replaced with cheaper mice from my used drawer. Razers are not cheap. When the mouse from my main computer started to bounce, I decided to buy a new programmable mouse. (I prefer wired although a bit clutter but I loose the dongles all the time and do not want them anymore, be it Logi, Razer, Utech or 3-D connection. I have so many and all take up a slot.) I read all the reviews that had more than 10 reviews, haha, and found this with 4.5 review with 5% 1 rating. I bought one to test it out before I buy more for the other computers. I am very happy with my buy. The shipping from Amz is always been fast but the mouse was works well. I use the 12X side buttons on Razer (why would you include 3 side to increase the price and they are cluttered in the drawer) so I duplicated the button assignment. They work well and due to my experience with the other mouse it was easy to reassign all the buttons. There was a bit of nomenclature difference so just a little stumble but ok. The mouse worked similar to Razer and will buy more after few more days. With Razer I have to download a large software to have the mouse working but with Utech (wired) the directory size is 11.6 Mb Vs 948Mb for Razer. (Geez, Give me a break!) I was surprised to find that just a driver was able to do this. I attached the screenshot for FYI. Now I have not used it much, only 1 day, so I will update as time goes. I did have an event when I clicked one of the buttons, it went to "Show Desktop" which is one of the buttons programmed. This could be that I am not used to the mouse. I will see if this happens or if other buttons misbehave. Too early to tell. This is for the Utech people or others on my thoughts: - The USB connector is long compared to Razer so it sticks out. I think being shorter does not detract from the function so should be shorter. - The cord is much thicker and stiffer so I was a bit disappointed. This also should be able to be smaller and softer. - The "Fire" button next to the left click is nice extra and works as an "enter / double click" but for me it would be much better if it was about 1/4 inch or 6 mm closer to my finger so it can be clicked easier. I honestly do not think it will interfere with left clicking - The clicking pressure is a bit more that Razer but I am sure I will get used to it. - I like the "Thumb rest" but would be better if it was raised about 3 mm the thumb is already closer to the buttons. The buttons have some pressure resistance so this would not be a issue with accidental clicking. I put a silicone foam pad to raise it and have more comfort. - The slant on the right side of the mouse can be more vertical so I can pick up the mouse with my thumb and 3rd finger in case you want to. This would not interfere with molding the case. I put another foam pad to aid in comfort and friction but due to curvature, pad is lifting off. - There is a "tactile rise" on the 5th and the 8th button but I would have preferred it a bit higher. Although it is there, I could not feel it much. They did put some thought into it so this is good. Razer does not have it so even after years of use I sometime look down. So far this is it. I like to add some follow up after more use.

Wireless Version Review: After many years, it was finally time to replace my beloved wired Venus gaming mouse. The left click button was consistently double clicking when I only clicked once, but after 7 years everything else was still working great including all the other buttons and profiles in the software. Unfortunately when I bought the same mouse last year, the software and drivers no longer work and made using the profiles and changing settings in the UtechSmart application impossible. I decided to go back to my old (although dysfunctional) one and this year decided to try the wireless version. Set up was surprisingly easy given how much trouble I had last time, I really like how the software and drivers come on a usb flashdrive now instead of on the website or a mini disc. This ensures you have some drivers that should make the mouse work in it's most basic iteration. It worked as soon as I plugged it in, and the flash drive as well. You can only have two profiles with the wireless version (and switch between then using the button on the bottom of the mouse), but all the buttons are still programmable and you can the light settings on the mouse or turn them off entirely if you don't like the feature or want to save battery, and you can do this on both the app or the mouse itself. The light also goes into sleep mode until you move it again if you don't use it for awhile but leave the mouse on. One thing I don't like is that I think it was easier to program the buttons in the old version, now you have to use macros multi-key input if you want to set hotkeys for buttons that aren't already in it's drop down menu. The buttons and scroll wheel feel as nice as I expected. The side buttons are a little less mushy than the wired version, but to be honest that never bothered me much. I don't play competitive games and like having a mouse like this for MMO's and sandbox games like Ark that have a lot of actions that we can hotkey. Overall I think this mouse will still fit my needs and I have always loved the design. The only other mouse I've ever seen that was similar is by Razr but their products have always felt really cheap for how expensive they are. This mouse is half the price and feels a lot nicer. The slightly rubberized texture feels nice in the hand and wears well over time. The curve is very ergonomic for my average to smallish sized hands. I'm really happy to have found a version that still works for me. Below is my original review for the wired version from 2015, not sure it combines them and I'm unable to write a separate/new review. I have been using this mouse for about 10 months. I'm not sure when exactly but at some point it started to turn off and on if I accidentally bumped the USB part of the cable when it was plugged in. For the longest time I thought it was just my computer's USB port (the mouse and cable itself still look physically perfect and I took very good care of it) but over the last few weeks it started to do it quite frequently when even just moving the mouse and eventually it stopped turning on all together when plugged in. At that point I realized it had been the cord all along as it would not turn on no matter what USB port I plugged it into. I had purchased an extended warranty when I bought the mouse but when I called the provider they directed me to contact the manufacturer first as they offer an 18 month warranty. It was a bit difficult to find any contact information on the UtechSmart website (and all I did find was an email address) but I was pleasantly surprised by the level of customer service I received in response. They responded within 24 hours (they were more responsive at night which I thought was a bit weird but this worked well with my schedule) and after a few email questions back and forth over the next business day agreed to send me a replacement. The replacement was sent within one business day and was sent with One Day shipping. Needless to say I was very happy as I had already been without a working mouse for my gaming for a few days. The new mouse seems to be working perfectly but there are a few differences I've noticed from the first one I received 10 months ago that I think are worth noting. The braided cord feels more durable now, the profile color selection now changes the scroll button glow as well, and the texture of the mouse itself has changed. Previously it had a smooth grip texture which I really liked but the new one has a rough/grainy texture which caught me off guard at first. After a few hours I actually came to like it better than the smooth grip the mouse had before. I have read some of the previous views as well and wanted to comment on the mouse and software itself. I have never used a Razer mouse but based on a previous experience with their products and some feedback from my friends I have never been impressed with their quality or durability (a console controller should not break after two months of normal use). I don't really play competitive online games but this mouse has been great for the games I do play (Dragon Age, Rebel Galaxy, Skyrim, Guild Wars 2, etc). I wanted a quality mouse with tons of side buttons to make it easier to get to and use a lot of skills quickly. This mouse has worked out perfectly for that. Yes, the buttons may be considered a bit squishy compared to some of the name brand mice as they are not mechanical but the keys are easy to reach and work well, after a few hours your thumb develops the muscle memory to use the side buttons without issue. Yes, you may not have quite as much control over the settings as you would with one of the name brand mice. However there are still tons of settings you do have control over and I found the software very intuitive and easy to use (especially considering I have not had much experience using these settings in the past). I love the glow feature because it helps me remember to change profiles depending on which game I want to play and it's also just aesthetically pleasing (lol!). Like all the other reviewers have said the mouse is also just super ergonomic, it is probably one of the most comfortable gaming accessories I have ever used. If you are on a budget but need a new gaming mouse this is definitely a great option. For the price, quality and level of customer service I would definitely buy again and recommend to any of my friends who are considering a customize-able gaming mouse. Update: Two years later and this mouse is still working great. I havent had any issues with ghosting or dpi like some other users have mentioned. I would highly encourage any users with these issues to contact the manufacturer to see about a replacement, every once in a while there will be a lemon. Update 5 Years Later: I have been regularly using this mouse every day for five years now with zero problems, I am actually really surprised. The cable has held up well, and I'm considering replacing it with the same model just because mine has gotten kind of gunky and gross from so many years of use. Still love this mouse. Update July 2021: I did end up purchasing a new one, but unfortunately the drivers are broken and don't recognize the mouse when you go into the customization software. Luckily my old mouse still works so when I plugged it back in, all of my settings were still saved on the old mouse which means this is an issue with the new model. In researching this issue seems to have been going on for a few months now, I hope they fix it soon. It does work as a normal mouse, but if you're buying it for it's intended purpose (gaming) you won't be able to change the settings to fit your preferred keybinds/button configurations. Very disappointed and contemplating returning and waiting to see if a new version comes out.

I have never heard of UtechSmart, but I needed a new mouse and wanted an MMO-mouse. The cost of the mouse is what I saw first, so figured even if it was a bad mouse, it would not break the bank and I could try again. Well, I was completely surprised by what I received after I bought the mouse. This thing is quality and feels great. The texture on the mouse is like a soft rubberized super-fine grit "sand paper". It feels absolutely wonderful to my fingers and hand, my favorite mouse texture to-date. The mouse comes with several small 2.4 gram weights in a simple and sleek container, and I found my comfortable weight. They are easy to install with a simple twist open/lock opening on the bottom of the mouse. The mouse wheel has a nice soft "bump" feeling. When I scroll quickly, it is barely noticeable, but when I slow down it is easily felt. I like this kind of mouse wheel action, I find the heavy bump/clicks of other mouse wheels distracting at quick scroll movements. The Wing and shelf on the left and right side respectively are fantastic. I had a Cyborg RAT 7 years ago, and while that mouse had its issues, the thing I absolutely loved about it was the wings on the left and right of the mouse to keep my thump and ring/pinky finger off the mouse pad/desk. The only thing I wish this mouse had was a wing on the right to keep my pinky off the mouse pad/desk instead of that shelf that only fits my ring finger. However, compared to other mice on the market, this is leaps and bounds better for my fingers than anything else I have found. Words cannot describe how annoying it is to have your fingers drag across your mouse pad or desk until you have had a mouse that prevents that completely and then you go back to a mouse that does have it. You notice it, all the time. I love this things thumb wing and finger shelf. The main two buttons on the mouse have a nice "click" and are responsive. I do not have any issues with miss-clicks, but can easily click when I need. It is a comfortable level of pressure to activate the switch, and I have not had any issues with activating it when I did not mean to. The side buttons are easily reachable with my thumb, and the pattern they are set at, the 1-3 and 4-6 dip inward towards each other so there is a little "valley" along the bottom of 1-3 and the top of 4-6. This is repeated with the 7-9 and 10-12 keys. The bottom of the 5 and top of the 8 also have a small bump on them, like the F and J key of a keyboard to further help identify where your thumb is. It is easy to "feel" where you are, and the individual buttons along the valley, making them extremely easy to activate the correct button without ever looking away from your screen or having to shift your grip on the mouse. The last button, the small "fire button" as they identify it in the product images, is easily reach by your index finger. I use this for my "Oh crap" button in MMOs or similar. It is positioned in a way that I do not accidentally activate it with my mouse grip, but can be activated by simply rolling my index finger slightly and applying a bit of pressure. The software is easy to use, though the GUI is a bit "meh", which is not enough of an issue to take a star off. The interface is easy enough to navigate, set DPI marks for the DPI quick-change button on the mouse. You can change the lighting of the mouse using a color palette or a color "wheel" or by hex code. Brightness is controlled through an Off/Low/Med/High set of check boxes. Wished for changes: I wish it had a wing, or extended "finger shelf" on the right like it does on the left to keep my pinky off the mouse pad/desk. I really dig this mouse and have recommend it highly to my gamer friends, I know two of them have actually picked one up and they love it as well. If you are in the market for an MMO mouse, I cannot recommend this one more highly.

As the title says, it's a great budget mouse! This has a lot of features that I just wouldn't expect at this price point, such as the 16k DPI. I don't think anyone would actually use this, but it's nice to be able to if you want to get weird on low settings in a game or something. All of the programmable buttons are really easy to push once you get the feel for the layout. The RGB, while basic, is very nice to look at. I generally keep my RGB off to get better battery life. I can't comment on the battery life just yet as I just got it, but it came with 90-100% charge out of the box so that was nice. It was very much a plug-and-play experience, I popped in the wireless dongle that came with it, and it immediately connected. I did install the drivers first before doing that, but it would more than likely work without doing that first. I find this mouse very comfortable in the hand while using it; the size of it, I feel, is perfect for someone with larger hands. However, if you are someone with small to medium-sized hands I would probably look elsewhere unless you use a claw grip. I have larger hands and use the palm grip, so this mouse is perfect for me. The scroll wheel seems fine; matter of fact, the entire construction seems very sturdy, and the texture of the plastic feels nice as well- a pretty gripy feeling. So far, this is a no-brainer for people looking for an MMO or a productivity mouse; you can set the side buttons to whatever you want, it seems through the software for all of them. It is worth noting that while the scroll wheel feels fine, it does not offer a tilt option, so you do lose those two buttons, which I am slightly sad about as I typically set the tilt to my page back and page forward. Overall, I'm satisfied with this mouse. I've played a couple of games of Bodycam as well as some Guild Wars 2 and other games I typically play most often, and it feels great; I was relieved to see that I don't feel really any difference playing the faster FPSs even with a heavier mouse. I'm coming from a SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless, and I have to say, I am satisfied.

This mouse is well worth the price. The buttons are just the right size to click with your thumb and the pressure needed to press them make them easy enough to press in tense moments while also making mistakes fairly rare. I use the back of my thumb to press the last column and this even works pretty well. The rapid fire button feels quite nice to press as well. The scroll wheel is segmented but also smooth. Minor complaints include the fact that I am not a huge fan of the sandpaper feel on the left/right buttons and on the edge. In particular, I found that my ring/pinky fingers started to feel chafed by it when first using it, though I believe use of the device quickly wore it in and I no longer get this feeling. I do also wish the thumb rest was extended a bit further out from the mouse. I do not use it that often, but it is not really wide enough to fit the entire thumb without it hanging off the edge. I love that the mouse is wireless, as I could never get used to the cord snag that occurs with wired models, though it can also be used with a wire if that is your preference. The battery life is superb. I can forget to charge it for days at a time and it will still have juice. The sleep mode activates pretty quickly after not using the mouse for a period of time and will automatically awaken after any movement/button presses and will register said input. The two DPI buttons are placed in a nice spot and there are four red lights, or the absence of light, which indicate five different profiles. These are set to 1000/2000/4000/8000/16000 by default, but you can set them to whatever your preference is. As I find any lights on my mouse/keyboard distracting, I set my preferred DPI on the lowest profile. That said, the RGB lights on the mouse are great. The thumb buttons look particularly cool when it is shining through them. If you want to show off a cool new mouse, this is the one for you. The program for this mouse is also pretty great and easy to understand. The default profile for the thumb buttons sets them to 1-0 on the number row and -/+ on the number pad. I'm not sure why they decided to use the numpad rather than the number row for the last two, as I have played games which contain item slots on the latter number row keys, though they are easily remappable in the program or in-game. The program allows for importing/exporting profiles, which is necessary if using more than two. The profile switch button on the bottom can cycle between the default, which is itself remappable, and an imported profile. The program also allows the user to design macros which is very convenient for the sake of productivity. For gaming, the number row mapping already makes perfect sense for many games. Even though I do not really play MMO games, I found that being able to swap weapons in GTA and items/shouts in Skyrim with the touch of a button was quite an improvement over using the number row, which takes fingers that could be pressing other keys and has an inconveniently placed second half for the left hand to reach. Of course, you can feel free to map it to whichever buttons you want. I also personally use this for video editing and general productivity shortcuts on my PC and I can report that it is excellent for both. My left hand has to move around far less than what it used to, and overall things feel more balanced. Overall extremely pleased with my decision to purchase this mouse and recommend it to anyone who wants a versatile instrument for any of a multitude of computing needs. EDIT: I have dropped this review to four stars because of an issue with the scroll wheel. After having the mouse on for some time the scroll wheel takes two notches to start scrolling in the opposite direction (for instance, if I am scrolling down and I try to scroll up the first notch on the wheel that is scrolled up will do nothing). If I turn the mouse off and then on again it will return to normal, but will, in time, begin to act up again. It is rather minor, but is quite annoying. And I can see this being a detriment in games. I have reached out to Utech's support and have not gotten a response. I am trying again. If my issue is resolved I will return the review to five stars. EDIT: I managed to get in contact with them through the email for the gift inside the box. They were very nice and sent me a new one. While the second one was on the way, my original somehow started working again. I can only surmise that it has something to do with being kept on for a long enough period of time, rather than being turned off and on again after acting up. Anyhow, I am pleased that it has started working again and that I now have a backup in case it messes up once more, and am now raising it back to five stars!

4.5/5 Connects right out of the box with only the receiver, no need to download any software if you don't want to. I like the hand shape and the semi rough texture. Just feels good in the hand. However, and this is minor to me, I'm not sure how well the texture will hold up. It is likely just stains from oil from the hands, but the mouse already looks visibly worn and I've only been using it for a week. I've had no issues with latency or accuracy, but keep in mind that I am primarily playing MMORPGs and not using this for any competitive FPS games. The side buttons aren't my favorite, maybe just a little stiff, but I haven't had any issues with them or any of the other buttons for that matter. I also haven't had any issues with battery life, though I use it with RGB off and typically charge my devices fairly frequently anyway. Rock solid MMO mouse that allows me the freedom to play my favorite games from bed w/o losing the convenience of the 12 side buttons. I'll still have my wired Raza Naga on my desk, but this thing will get a lot of use.

【総評】 普段使いは非常に快適です。 以前Redragonの同型機で初期不良を引いたため、少し割高でしたが評価の良いこちらを購入。 結果、右クリックもサイドボタンも正常で「当たり」を引けました。 【設定・マクロ】 ブラウジング特化の設定にしています。 画像のように、クリック後にウィンドウを閉じるマクロや、秒間3回の連打マクロも作成可能です。 ただし、設定ソフトは少し不安定で、マクロ作成中に止まることがありました。 また、Windowsキーを割り当てると表示が「ÿ」と化けるバグ（画像参照）もありますが、動作自体は問題ありません。 【その他】 替えのソールが付属しているのが地味に嬉しいポイント。 チャタリング発生時の分解清掃用に大切に保管しておきます。 設定さえ済んでしまえば、マットな質感と多ボタンの利便性で手放せない一台になります。

Bought this mouse as I recently got into MMORPGs and it was recommended by a friend. Seemed more value for money as compared to other gaming mice with similar functions. Am very happy with the product as it came in good condition and setup was fairly straightforward. Shape is ergonomical and my hand can rest comfortably on it. The surface was rougher than I expected, but over time I grew to appreciate that it provides my hand with a better grip especially with the humid weather. Setting up of macro keys took a while to figure out but not a big issue. Overall a great product and I'll be hard pressed to find a better product for the price.

Extremely high quality mouse for it's price. I'll be choosing this over most large brands now.

Mouse del tutto competitivo rispetto alla concorrenza e superiore come prezzo, meno della metà del suo equivalente Logitech e i materiali non sono da meno! Parte opaca della superficie piuttosto ruvida, forse unico fattore che non da il classico feeling da mouse mediocre, credo sia stato fatto apposta per garantire un migliore grip anche in fasi concitate del gioco, mentre per uso normale per qualcuno potrebbe essere un po' fastidioso, per altri l'opposto, per me... credo che "liscerò" il problema con un uso massiccio del mouse in questione, dato che ho già creato al volo 3 profili e non credo che mi basteranno, a tal punto risulta molto comoda la possibilità di esportare ed importare file di configurazione con inclusi i profili utente, per un totale di profili praticamente infinito, o quasi. Tasti laterali adatti per dita fini, ed io non le ho, ma sono riuscito cmq ad abituarmici in fretta, attenzione alla sensazione iniziale di non essere in grado di premerli con precisione, in realtà sono grossi abbastanza da poterli selezionare individualmente, serve solo un po' di allenamento, a me è bastata mezz'ora. Programmazione TOTALE di TUTTI i tasti, e qui è stato fatto un ottimo lavoro col programma dei driver, andate sul sito loro e scaricatevi l'installazione, vi ritroverete un utile programma nella tray o sul desktop (a vostra scelta), ci sono altre immagini di altri utenti qui in giro, quindi non starò a ripostare le stesse cose, le luci sono forse l'unica pecca, dato che la zona illuminata in realtà non è un led, ma una "finestra" translucida, dalla quale però si evincono le forme indistinte dei led sotto, specialmente dal logo, rotellina centrale ok, feeling basilare senza grosse cose, design della rotellina simpatico, i tasti laterali, che si illuminao anche essi, pare ricevano solo luce indiretta dai led principali, infatti risultano essere un po' sottotono, cmq si notano ugualmente sia al buio, che in condizioni di luce non eccessive. led di regolazione della risoluzione sempre rossi, e questo è interessante, stacca dal sistema di illuminazione, io che adoro gli estetismi dell'ultra-tecnologico adoro questa cosa. Verdetto? Compratelo!!!

Buyer beware - if you live outside of the US, be prepared to pay twice as much to return (or more). Reason for return - cord is VERY stiff, makes it difficult to use. If you lift your hand off, mouse moves as stiff cable pushes it. Too bad as the mouse itself is nice, but the cord ruins it.
