Mionix Saiph 1800 Features

 A month back we looked at the Mionix Saiph 3200 mouse that ended up being a well shaped gaming mouse, today we have the cheaper version named 1800 that is less expensive and has less functions. Knowing Mionix though I am sure this can be a good competitor even though it lacks some of the features the bigger brother does. Lets have a closer look at what we can expect from the mouse.

The 1800 is a bit smaller than the big brother 3200. This one lacks the weights that can be taken of on the 3200 which makes this a very light mouse. It fits my hand perfectly and I have quite small hands. The scroll wheel works great and is nice to use even after a longer day of working on the net.
