The GXT 924 YBAR+ Gaming Mouse from Trust is spectacular! I recently looked at the GXT 833 Thado Gaming Keyboard, and I was thoroughly impressed. Consequently, I had high expectations for this wired and inexpensive gaming peripheral. Available in black or white, this mouse looks amazing. With a sleek and elegant finish complemented by a hue of RGB lighting, this is perfect for a more subtle gaming rig. Alongside this, it works brilliantly with the aforementioned keyboard.
On top of this, it delivers a performance that you’d expect to pay 4 to 5 times the amount! With a ridiculously responsive sensor, impressive acceleration, insane polling rates and IPS tracking speeds, this competes with its high-end peers. On top of this, the wired approach means that you never have to worry about batteries again. Therefore, this is perfect for newbie gamers, hard-handed teenagers, or competitive players.

Technical aspects.
A gaming mouse must be responsive, comfortable, and hard-wearing. Additionally, you need full control of its DPI sensitivity. Thankfully, the GXT 924 YBAR+ Gaming Mouse allows you to do that and a whole lot more. This impressive peripheral has 6 mappable buttons and an easy-to-use software program. Consequently, you can macro each input to your liking.
On top of this, you can adjust the DPI using the central button. Though this option is standard for most gaming mice, the DPI modes were impressive. If you wanted a slower and more methodical approach, the choice was there. Alternatively, you can whack it up to 25k for an insanely quick mouse. Additionally, you can select anything in between to adjust it for different genres.
If this isn’t enough, the GXT 924 YBAR+ Gaming Mouse has a 1000 Hz polling rate, 50G of acceleration, and a tracking speed of 400 IPS. As such, this mouse offers plenty of elite gaming options.
Usability.
Though there are plenty of custom modes, I adored the plug-and-play style. If you want to unbox this beast and get gaming, you can. Alternatively, you can download the software and customise every input to your liking. Either way, it is straightforward to understand.
As a right-handed gamer, this mouse sits perfectly within my palm. Additionally, the side buttons are nicely placed and easy to use. If I was to complain, I’d say the wheel input button wasn’t as definitive as I’d have liked. Subsequently, it felt weak and that was off-putting. However, it was responsive and accurate, so it is a personal issue.
Build quality.
The GXT 924 YBAR+ Gaming Mouse is fantastic to look at. The sleek finish is complemented by the lower band of RGB. Moreover, the off-colour wheel looks fantastic. Each input (except the wheel) feels great and the travel distance for each click was pleasant and responsive. Moreover, the change in DPI settings was noticeable.
I liked the ridged grips to the side and the hue of the RGB. Though the lighting isn’t the brightest you’ll ever see, it works brilliantly with the Thado Gaming Keyboard. Alongside this, the hardened shell is constructed from up to 60% recycled materials and this makes it perfect for eco-conscious consumers.
Is the GXT 924 YBAR+ Gaming Mouse worth it?
The GXT 924 YBAR+ Gaming Mouse is a real competitor to its higher-priced peers. Not only does this mouse look great, but it has some spectacular features. On top of this, it can be customised and the RGB isn’t too OTT. However, one downside is the lack of wireless connectivity. This shortcoming isn’t a deal breaker. As such, I loved it and I recommend buying it here!
