It’s quiet and super lightweight, adding a negligible amount of extra weight to the mouse compared to my fan-less honeycomb mouse and producing next to no noise, certainly not enough to overpower the music I usually play when writing, the sounds of the game I’m playing, or even the hum of my PC in action. Offering “less buzzing vibration and higher revolution (though offering no information on just how fast this fan moves),” and producing only 30 decibels of sound, I have to admit that I honestly forget that there’s a fan included a good amount of the time. Manufacturer Marsback specifically advertises the Zephyr Pro’s fan as being a quieter, less obtrusive inclusion than the one on their original Zephyr model, which is no longer available to purchase through their site. I’ve seen a few gaming mice with a fan included before, but it’s still a rare enough addition to feel like a pretty unique feature, in my mind. Jumping right into the features, the built-in fan is definitely the feature that got me interested in this mouse to begin with. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not as if this is some groundbreaking design, but it at least adds a bit of extra flare that looks good with the rest of my setup. The holes of the mouse also create a really neat, net-like design pattern that keeps it from looking too generic or basic.
From a design standpoint, the entire thing looks really sleek the matte black gives a professional, minimalist color scheme to the mouse, which mixes well with the built in RGBs that shine through the scroll wheel, built in fan, and along the bottom of the mouse. Luckily the Zephyr Pro bucked those fears immediately, as those fears were pushed aside the second I picked up the Zephyr pro the body is made from a sturdy, thick matte plastic that doesn’t give or creak at all when putting pressure on the mouse in order to test the durability, let alone when actually using the thing as one would for daily work. Sometimes when it comes to these Swiss cheese mice, I always fear that the hole filled nature can lead to lower build quality. Taking the mouse out of the interesting packaging, one of the first things I noticed is the build quality.
