Conclusion:

The Arctic Cooling Arctic M571 gaming mouse is a great entry level mouse for gamers. With the ability to set your preferred weight and with a conveniently located rapid fire button, gamers and enthusiasts will not be disappointed. The distinct curve and shape of the mouse's body should also keep your hand comfortable after hours of game play.



As mentioned with the M551, at the highest DPI setting the Arctic M571 is very sensitive... almost too sensitive. Arctic Cooling realizes that DPI settings are not one size fit all, so they offer three settings covering a wide range of DPIs (800/1600/2400), and at least one of them should work for any user and their specific needs.

Arctic Cooling has the Arctic M571 gaming mouse listed on their website with a suggested retail price of $29.95 (US), which, when compared to other gaming mice with similar features is very affordable. Unfortunately like the Arctic M551 gaming mouse, it does not appear that anyone in the US is actually selling this product. The "Where to Buy" section of the Arctic Cooling website leads to plenty of stores, but none carrying any of Arctic Cooling's mice. Digging deeper on Google doesn't lead to any hits, either.

The price, ergonomic feel, and other gaming focused features of the Arctic Cooling Arctic M571 gaming mouse help it to earn both the Bigbruin.com "Gaming Approved" and "Good Value" awards!
