Today’s gaming mouse review is for the Bloody P81 Optical Gaming Mouse with Light Strike Switch & Scroll.
For those not familiar with the “Bloody” gaming brand, it’s part of A4Tech Co., Ltd., which is a private Taiwan-based computer hardware and electronics company founded back in 1987.
In 2011, the company started to focus on their secondary gaming brand, Bloody Gaming and is known for their Light Strike technology.
While the company prides itself on their Signature Pro Optical Switch series of mice, such as the SP30 and SP80 and AL90 (for weight tuning). They do offer many other types of mice under $35 such as the Bloody P81 Optical Gaming Mouse with Light Strike Switch & Scroll.
This mouse has been popular since 2019 and showcases their Light Strike technology which uses an infrared Micro Switch to react at light speed with extreme 0.2ms click response.
It features their BC3332-S Gaming Engine, 6 weapon modes, adjustable X/Y Axis, 2000 Hz Report Rate and a Metal X’Glide Armor boot.
The mouse also has an Infrared-Wheel which can turn millions of times in its lifespan and an adjustable CPI of 100-8000.
For one, for those looking for a mouse under $35, the benefit of this mouse is its ability to switch colors at a quick rate. People who love color changing gaming hardware, will dig this mouse as it is no doubt the main attraction. Especially its starlight features.
And to change the color effects (there are 5 presets) is just to raise your mouse and press the 1 button and you can cycle through the presets.
As for the weapon modes, you can control it by the left key and pressing 1/N/3/scroll button and the 2 side buttons using the Bloody software. There are also six sniper modes.
Which begs the question of where to find the software (for Windows Vista up to Windows 11) to assign the buttons and you can go to the blood[dot]com site and on the left is download and look for Bloody 7 [Mouse] and they do update the software which is a plus.
For an under $35 mouse, I have to give this mouse a thumbs up.
Yes, there are a lot of competition in the under $35 gaming mouse category but I don’t think I came across one with this many features (especially for colors) at that pricepoint (typically, over $50). So, that’s a major plus.
Granted, while programmable buttons are common, the light strike switch technology employed by the company for the past few years is a plus afterall, it’s become a major selling point for the mouse as it’s not just the logo or side panels, this whole mouse is colorful.
It’s a wired mouse that I have tested with numerous games and I do like it. It’s comfortable, I was able to get my preference of moving speed, the side buttons are slightly raised in position, so I don’t accidentally hit them. Wired cable is braided, I really have no complaints. It’s a very good mouse for the price and you get your money’s worth for this optical gaming mouse.
The Bloody P81 Optical Gaming Mouse with Light Strike Switch & Scroll is recommended!
