From Gaming Phones To Mice

Redmagic is a company better known for its gaming smartphones, so the GS001J marks its first foray into the stacked gaming mouse space, and it will need to do a lot to go up against a bevvy of established names and upstart competitors.

You can tell right off the bat that this is a Redmagic mouse. The company’s distinct futuristic aesthetic has made its way here as well, with a glossy, translucent shell that hints at the tech packed within.

Redmagic’s logo shines through at the back of the mouse, flanked by two LED strips at the bottom of the primary mouse buttons. Together with its aggressive angles and angular lines, it is a little tacky and I personally would have preferred a more utilitarian design.

I’m also not a fan of the glossy finish. It is a magnet for grime, and you will find yourself wiping it down ever so often to keep it in tiptop condition.

Fortunately, the rest of the mouse is a lot more functional. The shape is a safe, symmetrical one, lending itself to a wide variety of grip styles. At approximately 120mm long, it is a medium mouse that sits in the middle of the pack in terms of size as well. Nothing about the design really stands out.
