Thermaltake ARGENT M5 Wireless RGB Review

Packaging, Weight, Cable, and Feet

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a cable (USB Type-A to Micro-USB), wireless extender, carrying bag, and manual in the box.

Weight


My scale shows around 118 g (+/- 1 g), which is almost exactly in line with the weight cited by Thermaltake. The ARGENT M5 Wireless RGB has side buttons on both sides, which adds quite a bit of weight. The same goes for the aluminium scroll wheel, which further shifts the weight balance towards the front. Still, compared to mice like the Logitech G Pro Wireless, Razer Viper Ultimate, or ASUS ROG Pugio II, the M5 Wireless RGB is no doubt on the heavier side of things.

Cable


The ARGENT M5 Wireless RGB comes with a regular braided cable (USB Type-A to Micro-USB) that is used for charging or using the M5 Wireless RGB as if it were a wired mouse. Doing the latter is not recommended, however, as this cable is just as stiff as that of the wired M5 RGB. There is no anchor at the mouse-end of the cable, but the connector sits very tightly, so there's at least little risk of the cable involuntarily detaching during play. Its measured length is 1.80 m.

The charging cable also functions as an extension cable if used in conjunction with the wireless extender, which may be used to keep the distance between the dongle and ARGENT M5 Wireless RGB as short as possible. Since the mouse itself lacks a storage compartment for the dongle, the extender could also simply be used as something to attach the dongle to, which reduces the likelihood of the dongle being lost when traveling.

Feet


The feet on the ARGENT M5 Wireless RGB are regular black-dyed PTFE (Teflon) feet. Glide is perfectly fine.
