I was sent the Uhuru WM-09 gaming mouse for free to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review.

What’s in the box?

Inside you get:

• The Uhuru WM-09 Gaming Mouse
• Instruction Booklet
• Grip tape for sides and button
• USB-C to USB-A Charging Cable
• USB-C Wireless Dongle

Features

The Uhuru WM-09 is a lightweight mouse that supports up to 70 hours of wireless gaming, but a wired connection won’t slow you down. With 26000 DPI, a 2.4G wireless connection, and a 100-500 hz scroll, the WM-09 is ready to take you on your most epic of quests. Its sleek and simple design is for gamers who prefer a cleaner aesthetic, but 11 preprogrammed RGB modes make it ready for any mood. I particularly like that the RGB and logo are simple, clean, and unimposing. Plus you can toggle off the RGB with a switch is a major plus. Best of all, the buttons are programable with third-party software so you can always have a loadout that works best for your playstyle.

Review

At first, the Uhuru WM-09 is going to feel and sound like a cheap plastic mouse, but that feeling will go away after some use. I was instantly blown away by how reactive this mouse is without any tinkering. The weight and DPI make reflexive games feel better. It took some getting used to because I preferred a heavier mouse before the WM-09, but my aim felt like it got better once I did.

The WM-09 has a beautiful glide that works on any surface. I still recommend using a mouse pad, especially in the dark, but you don’t really need one. The mouse felt just as responsive on my desk as it did on a mousepad.

My favorite feature has to be the included grip tape. I have excessively sweaty hands, especially during intense gaming sessions, but the grip tape made it feel less gross and I was able to maintain my traction.

This wouldn’t be a gaming mouse without RGB, and the preset profiles are just beautiful. The mouse gives off enough light to look good on the desk without turning the room into a rave. I like that it acts as a subtle accent, but I also like that I can turn it off when I don’t need it.

The most impressive feature has to be the mouse’s battery life. I’ve had the mouse for a couple of weeks now and have only needed to charge it twice after regular heavy use with the RGB turned on. Uhuru boasts a 70-hour battery life, and I am inclined to believe it.

The only complaint I have with the mouse is with the ergonomics. If you’re looking for a budget mouse that will save your hands from pain, this isn’t in. While my RSD doesn’t flair up as quickly or as badly as with other cheap mice, it does flair up after an hour or so of use. If you don’t spend the unnatural amount of hours in front of a computer that I do, this isn’t going to be a problem. This will vary between users.

If you’re looking for a solid budget gaming mouse that will take your gaming to the next level, try the Uhuru WM-09. It is a lightweight responsive mouse with a sleek design and amazing battery life.
