Creative Sound BlasterX Siege M04 Gaming Mouse Review

Up Close

With the Siege we also received the Alphapad mouse pad. A cloth number with a big bold logo on the front, it’s thick and comfortable, with a tight weave on the top providing accurate tracking throughout our time with it.

The Siege M04 itself is one of the largest mice we’ve seen in recent months. I’ve got pretty big hands but I wouldn’t want it to be much larger. There are three buttons on the top – the usual LMB/RMB/Profile options – whilst the side has three too, in a back/forwards and sniper configuration. The plastic is a very soft-touch smooth number which promises to be fingerprint free, whilst the sides are textured grippy rubber to keep the Siege under control even if you’re playing in a monsoon in the Amazon. There is a lengthy amount of nicely braided cable and three different areas of lighting. The scroll wheel lights up white, and only white, the Sound BlasterX logo is deep red and around the base of the mouse is a full RGB section which has all sorts of fancy tricks up its sleeve.
