Cherry XTRFY M68 Pro review: a gaming mouse with odd proportions but stellar performance
Share:
The Cherry XTRFY M68 Pro is a light full-size gaming mouse with a unique design that’s sure to divide opinions. Personally, I found it imparted a greater sense of feel and security though. The gaming performance is undeniable and esports enthusiasts will be pleased with the 8K polling rate. However, the lack of software is disappointing on a mouse at this price, and the solution for adjusting the numerous settings is far from ideal.

Excellent gaming performance. Ergonomic design. Light for a full-size mouse. Divisive shape and USB port location. Impractical settings adjustments. No software.

At first glance, the Cherry XTRFY M68 Pro is rather restrained in its appearance as gaming mice go. Its straightfoward design is rather inconspicuous, and the white model I've reviewed here is only offset by black side buttons and accents on the scroll wheel. The logo is inconspicuous and there’s no RGB lighting either. So far, so conventional.

However, the design of the Cherry XTRFY M68 Pro's front end is less so. The mouse buttons are raised steeply at the back, and curve down sharply before cutting short, which means the contact point is biased towards your fingertips, more so than I’ve experienced with many other gaming mice.

The M68 Pro weighs just 55g, and there aren’t too many full-size wireless gaming mice lighter than this. It undercuts the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, our pick as the best wireless gaming mouse, by eight grams. The Turtle Beach Burst 2 Air is one of the rare few that’s even leaner, tipping the scales at just 47g.
