What is it?
A stylish wireless gaming mouse.
Good points?
The Trust Helox Wireless Gaming Mouse stands out with its honeycomb shell design which contributes to its ultra-lightweight build at just 75 grams. The perforated exterior allows for better ventilation and a more comfortable grip.
It also features UPE gliding pads which provide smooth, frictionless movement across surfaces. This aspect, combined with the lightweight design, makes the mouse ideal for fast-paced gaming, allowing players to move the cursor quickly without resistance.
The six-button layout, including a dedicated DPI button, offers customisable control that enhances gameplay flexibility. Additionally, the RGB LED lighting gives a vibrant visual experience, with multicolour options that add flair to any setup.
One of the Helox’s key strengths is its wireless connectivity, which operates on a low-latency 2.4 GHz frequency. The USB-A dongle ensures a stable, lag-free connection, which is essential for gaming where reaction times are crucial.
The mouse's adjustable optical sensitivity sensor, which caps at 4800 DPI, provides decent sensitivity for a range of gaming genres.
In terms of battery life, the Trust Helox exceeds expectations. The built-in rechargeable battery offers up to 80 hours of runtime on a full charge. Additionally, the mouse fully replenishes in just 1.5 via the USB cable.
Bad points?
It’s difficult to be really critical of a budget mouse like this as it genuinely offers new or casual gamers value for money.
Best for ...
Gamers seeking performance and style without breaking the bank.
Avoid if ...
You are a competitive first-person tactical shooter player as you’ll find the 4800 DPI limit a hindrance at best.
Score: 8/10

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
