I ran the FOKUS through the ringer testing it on everything from point and click dungeon crawlers to the tougher and grueling venues of online shooters and much like its brethren held up spectacular. I found adjusting my DPI with incredible ease during recent sessions of playing The Division where I needed low DPI for sniping and higher DPI for moving and firing for more hip fire aiming of assault rifles and LMGs in combat.

With 4K gaming becoming more prevalent in the PC market thanks to new visual hardware and games like The Division, Rise of the Tomb Raider and the newly released Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare this year having a high level DPI makes the FOKUS Pro Laser Gaming Mouse perfect for just these sort of games. That said the real feature with this mouse is its FOKUS on giving gamers the speed and precision on a casual to tournament level that they need to stay a step ahead in an ever changing PC gaming environment.

That said it does lack a dedicated button for switching the custom user defined configuration profiles so you’ll have to either use the downloadable Kaliber Gaming™ software to switch before loading up a program or dedicate one of the configurable buttons to allow cycling profiles on the fly. Its ambidextrous design puts it in the same general button configuration as the SYMETTRE with the notable exception of the single DPI button under the scroll wheel allowing players to quick-switch the DPI between the 5 presets ranging for 800-8200 DPI. Other than its striking appearance the FOKUS features an 8 button layout designed to offer players a customizable experience. The design also features rubber pads to help against slip and a sturdy braided cable measuring 6.5 feet that allowed for plenty of play in cord with little physical drag much like their other mouse designs. While it doesn’t have the rubber hand grip reinforcements of the RETIKAL, I really dig that it shared the same basic ambidextrous concept as the SYMMETRE offering both left and right handed gamers an even playing field with this mouse. The Kaliber Gaming™ FOKUS Pro Laser Gaming Mouse is easily the most rugged of the three gaming mice that I’ve had the pleasure to test out with its largely aluminum shell. Personally I left the lighting in its default setting as it looks rather cool in a darkened room. Of course blue is included among the options and you can set the mouse to one of the colors or turn them off entirely if it’s too distracting.

It differentiates itself however as it deviates from the standard blue lighting scheme of the other mice in the Kaliber series to offer a total of 7 different colors that can be seen in ebbing rotation all over the design.

The FOKUS follows the Kaliber Gaming™ tradition of featuring a lighting scheme that by default ebbs with the popular “breathing” effect seen in a lot of other gaming peripherals. It’s actually just one device is an actual set of Kaliber Gaming™ devices to carry this clearly Star Wars inspired coloration for those interested. Normally I’m not a huge fan of white gaming peripherals due to their penchant to show dirtiness rather quickly but I have to say the Imperial White design is rather visually striking. While the FOKUS does use the same ABS and polycarbonate material for some of its construction it features a strikingly white sturdy aluminum shell pretty much everywhere your hand will make contact with it. When I first unboxed the FOKUS, I came to the immediate realization that this mouse was something else entirely from the rest of the Kaliber Gaming™ series mice. The FOKUS Gaming Mouse isn’t my first entry into dabbling with tougher gaming peripherals as I use a mechanical gaming keyboard daily for play and work so I know just how important a long lasting device is to gamers. The new Kaliber Gaming line of gaming peripherals available today is yet another step towards continuing their goals to making the complicated world of technology just a little bit user-friendly.

Iogear has been in the business of creating a wide variety of computer connectivity solutions for years now and I’ve even used more than a few of them myself in that time.

But what I haven’t found over those years is one near as rugged as the new Kaliber Gaming™ FOKUS Pro Laser Gaming Mouse by Iogear.

In my years of nowhere near professional level gaming, I’ve used several mice before finding one that suits my favorite genres. Having a gaming peripheral stand up to the rigors of gaming is something that both normal gamers and the professionals that use them to beat out their gaming brethren in the tournament arena rely on to stay at their very best.
