CM Storm Mizar Mouse: A Shot at Greatness

Cooler Master has recently introduced two new gaming mice that takes ergonomic design cues from Microsoft’s classic Intellimouse Explorer and refreshes it for the modern gamer. The Alcor and the Mizar (named after twin star systems in the Ursa Major constellation) is a lot less closer to earth with their affordable MSRP but otherwise reaches for the heavens with the feature set they provide. They both essentially share the same chassis design but use different tracking methods with the Alcor utilizing an Avago 3090 optical sensor and the Mizar utilizing an Avago 9800 laser sensors, both of which are popular within their respective classes. Mizar, being the one of the two that is readily available in the North American market is the topic of this article.
