Introduction

A4Tech isn't exactly a brand you think of when it comes to the computer peripheral market. Established in the late '80's, the company has a diverse product line ranging from keyboards to web cams, and have solidified themselves as a global market leader. Recently A4Tech has sought to make a splash in the hardcore gaming market by releasing their unique line of X-7 mice. While not one of the big brand names you've heard of, you would be surprised how well designed the mice are considering they are from a relatively unknown manufacturer. We emphasize with peripheral reviews that personal preference plays a large role in determining the final score. That being said, the goal of this review is to supply you with as much information about performance and personal experience when using the mouse in normal day-to-day desktop and gaming applications as possible. We'll take a closer look at the intriguing 3-in-1 click button and other features on the X-777F so you can determine for yourself if this is the right mouse for you.
