KALIBER Gaming Mice (Review): iOGEAR’s Attempt to Get a “Frag” Up On Its Rivals…



With E-sports gaming at an all time high and a new wave of gamers clamoring to find that extra edge on their competition whether it be for the next tournament or multiplayer match. With the glut on the market of gaming peripherals its easy to see how anyone can become confused on what products will be the best one for the money. Among those companies is iOGEAR who have ushered out new offerings in gaming mice that just might fit the bill.

One look at the three new choices added to their KALIBER gaming line and the thought comes to mind that one of these options will suit a player’s needs. Whether the thought is for a mouse that is built for high-level action or one that will give a steady feel at a comfortable price our look at these mice gave us an opinion that iOGEAR is taking the gaming world very seriously with what they have to offer. So having that in mind let’s get into the depths to see if they meet the challenge…


FOKUS (iOGEAR, KALIBER Gaming MSRP $49.95)- From the moment one places their hands on this product, the thought quickly pops up is that this is definitely not just your average gaming mouse. Supported with an aluminum chassis and a click wheel that is rubber coated, the mouse freely floats around has a quick response without that feeling that the mouse will slip out of you hand at the slightest jarring movement. With a sensor generating up to 8200 dpi that one can adjust on the fly with a touch of a button, finding that comfortable balance during gameplay seems to always be an option.

While this unit comes in an “imperial white”, the LED backlighting emanates a varying group of colors that gives the FOKUS a distinctive look in a pattern to an almost “breathing-like” formation (as a nod to Star Wars and a certain character in the movie no doubt). With eight different programmable buttons at a player’s fingertips, the gaming mouse can be customized (with some software assistance) to have those needed response buttons right there at a moment’s notice. While the DPI button will on rare occasions accidentally be pressed because of its close proximity to the click wheel, the mouse even under heavy duress performs at an admirable level when using it during heated gameplay.

Of all the iOGEAR mice to be sent our way for review, the FOKUS is the one that stands out as a mice to have that will perform intricate maneuvering and finite movements. From the way it feels to the elements in how it performs it’s clear the FOKUS should be a strong consideration before gearing up for that next MOBA or FPS match.
