AOC GM510 review: I can see right through this lightweight gaming mouse

The AOC GM510 mouse goes to extremes when it comes to shedding weight.

Our Verdict

The ultra-lightweight AOC GM510 gaming mouse goes to extremes to achieve its lightness, literally hollowing out the entire back of it, with a honeycomb pattern lit up in vivid RGB colours making it look different to any other mouse I've used. High DPI and a comfortable palm and claw grip make it a fine choice for budget gaming, and its striking appearance certainly makes it stand out. For creative work, though, the extreme lightness means you have less resistance, which is necessary for delicate editing or design work.

For

  • Extremely light
  • 16,000 DPI
  • Very cheap

Against

  • Again, extremely light
