22-Jul-2021 Product is sold out online. Available in store only.

Extremely low price on this USB mouse that was previously $20. I picked one up tonight and I have to say it's a serious bargain considering how much you can customise in the software, as well as the general feel and build quality of the mouse. Instore pic of box and price.

As seen in the instruction manual you can customise all 8 buttons, record macros, change the report rate (125/250/500/1000Hz), change the DPI (200-10000DPI) with 6 saved profiles, adjust the RGB backlight with multiple colours/effects, adjust the click/scroll speed and import/export the config.

The drivers for it can be downloaded here with the model name KM42902058. It has a 1.8m long TPE cable with a velcro strap and the dimensions are 180cm (L) x 4.2cm (H) x 6.5cm (W).

Kogan sell a near identical mouse from the same OEM for $24.99 and that uses a Pixart PMW3325 sensor, so it's very likely that the Anko uses the same sensor.

There's also a $5 16000dpi mouse on sale too. if you can find stock.

          The box really wasn't appealing either when I saw it. It's the 10,000DPI that got me as I was genuinely curious how the software was going to be.

        Local shops get stung by card processing fees, and at a higher rate than big business.
        Of course it'd be better for business if they just bumped the price of all their items by 3% to reflect these costs, but instead they're being transparent about it in a way that Woolworths etc don't.

        • altiarlio on 25/06/2021 - 22:42

          How prominent are fees? I know lots of banks offer things for small businesses that help counter the need for it.

      As someone who worked at Kmart, I'll say it's probably because while it's fine if there's only 1 or 2 C&C orders to fulfil, it becomes a headache when you start having many different C&C orders.

      You only have so many people on the shop floor and they all have their own roles and they have their different managers so the C&C picker role is usually done by the service desk staff - the same staff who usually have to handle 3 queues worth of irate shoppers wanting refunds and what not.

      Don't forget the store is huge, if you get an order with items from opposite ends of the store you'll have a good trek getting to the area, and then actually locating the item. All this takes time, and then there's also the issue of finding space in the stock room to store the item for collection.

      So I'd say the admin fee is definitely a deterrent since C&Cs can cause quite a hassle. Looks like it's free for orders over $20. Having a staff member track down just one or two items for a total value of <$20 is definitely a waste of time lol.

        • lookingforTV on 26/06/2021 - 02:41
          +19

          Happyangus literally said the admin fees are there to deter people from using C&C for small purchases. The admin fees are waived for orders over $20. Why would Kmart want to priortise fulfilling C&C orders under $20 at the expense of providing less customer service to shoppers who are there?

          Looks like the admin fees are serving its purpose by deterring you for using C&C for $3 order 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Mousewheel, light below DPI button ontop and the sides of the mouse. The Kogan mouse linked shows it. The only difference is this doesn't have the backlit scorpion logo.

  • rith on 25/06/2021 - 22:24

    Looking for a good basic mouse with programmable buttons. For this price I'll definitely pick this one up and give a shot. Maybe even grab a couple just in case (for longetivity's sake).

    How's the clickiness by the way? Any stiffness when clicking any of the buttons or operating the scroll wheel? That's one of my main gripes with most cheaper mice.

    I am yet to see a person actually set their mouse to 10000 or 16000 DPI and use it with any accuracy. I get that higher DPI provides better tracking accuracy but no one would actually set it that high. I am a wrist mouse user so I have my DPI already relatively high around 2600 to 3200. At 16000 to 18000 DPI your cursor is just zooming around like a crazed rabbit.

    • zjz93 on 25/06/2021 - 22:52

      exactly. its polling rate that matters, not dpi.

    • Blue Cat on 26/06/2021 - 06:22

      I have been living with 400 DPI for years now. Yes, it is slower, but give yourself a few weeks, and you will be landing shots really accurately because smaller DPI allows for much more accuracy and no chance of pixel-skipping.

  • shzzkn on 25/06/2021 - 22:59

  • Truck-kun on 25/06/2021 - 23:35

    I just got one myself too. I think the 5 dollars one kmart (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/631226) is slightly better since it is slightly lighter with all the weights removed and the ergonomic side plate makes it more comfortable for a palm mouse user like myself.

  • Clear on 25/06/2021 - 23:43
    +6

    I tested the software provided by Kogan and it works with this mouse. There are however a few differences. For starters the light between the 2 DPI buttons can be changed within the Kogan app for each "DPI profile" you're on, e.g. red for 2000 DPI, green for 3600 DPI and blue for 6000 DPI. The other addition is the Gun Editor which is obviously used to help assist cheat with recoil in FPS games.

    Other than that the software is pretty much identical with some new branding, though I did find it to be somewhat laggy in comparison to the Anko.

    • Clear on 26/06/2021 - 00:26
      +18

      So I did some digging in the files of the programs provided by both Anko and Kogan.

      Browsing to *C:\Program Files (x86)\ankomouse* where the mouse software is installed I discovered the "modules" folder that has the code for the Gun feature found in the Kogan app. Within the "setting" folder of the same directory is several .bin files that contain all the configurations you've set for your mouse within the software. Upon opening the "apConfig.bin" you'll find this:

      [mouse]
      isColorful=true
      keyCount=8
      icType=553
      is55328=false
      isGun=false
      profileNo=0
      selectGun=0, 1, 2
      sensorType=4090
      dpiBase=100
      minDPI=200
      maxDPI=10000

      Changing "isGun" to equal true makes the "Gun Mode" show up fully functional within the Anko software. It seems pretty obvious that Kmart didn't want that feature to be included with their mouse so the manufacturer added the option for that functionality to be removed.

      Interesting enough if you change "is55328" to true then it disables RGB and you can only set a single colour. As expected the software is being recycled for different mice with different brands/hardware configurations as the Kogan app has identical options in their configuration.

      Within the Anko configuration it points to this website who we can assume may be the manufacturer, while the Kogan configuration points to Kogan.com. It also goes by other models like JLR-74412 in New Zealand and PJT-DMS985 on Alibaba.

      It's weird because 2 weeks prior my Kmart store only had Nintendo Switch accessories on this shelf and gaming mice were no where to be seen. A month before that the area had Mirabella bulbs. It seems like that Kmart stores are getting a few pallets of gaming gear and immediately putting it on clearance. I'm sure one of the many Kmart employees here could answer.

    • Agret on 29/06/2021 - 11:37

      I got the $5 headset, it's okay for $5. Bass heavy like all cheap headphones, the cable is really annoying design if you are using it with a phone/game controller though as you have extra stuff hanging off the cord everywhere and whenever the cord touches your clothes it gives annoying feedback noise. If you have a shirt with a chest pocket you could tuck the extra crap into that possibly.

        standard mice run at 125hz, so that's a 4-8x gain which is insane if you think about it, a must for serious gamers

        it shows up if you have a high refresh monitor, the cursor is much smoother

      My main mouse is a razer basilisk and I have medium size hands for a bloke with hybrid palm/claw grip.

      The $5 one is slightly larger, the hump a little higher and prpbably more suitable for palm grip. Its light when you take all weights out (5 in total so u can adjust to your liking). It also has a softer click with less travel compared to the cheaper one which has firmer/harder click.

      $3 one is more comfortable for me as it is similar to my basilisk. And the scroll wheel feels smoother. I would say if you have smaller hands/claw grip the $3 one might be more comfortable.

      There's around 10 in stock Moonee ponds kmart Vic

      • c64 on 26/06/2021 - 14:19

        thanks. i tried out both ones and i hated the scroll wheel on the 16000 dpi mouse (too lumpy). the scroll wheel on the 10000 dpi mouse scroll wheel feels much nicer, although i'm not too fond of the way the side lights feel on that one

        • Rad19874812 on 26/06/2021 - 15:15

    What does dpi mean in a mouse?

    • Clear on 26/06/2021 - 18:53
      +2

      According to Microsoft:

      DPI is the standard used to measure the mouse sensitivity, expressed as the number of DPIs (dots per linear inch) that a device can detect. By changing the DPI, you can instantly adjust pointer speed for precision tasks, such as in-game targeting or photo editing. The greater the number of DPIs, the higher the mouse sensitivity, and the faster the pointer speed. Some mouse models include dedicated buttons (DPI On-the-fly buttons) you can use to instantly adjust your mouse sensitivity (DPI).

      So a higher DPI means that the mouse will be more sensitive and the cursor will move more quickly. 10,000 DPI is overkill for most people.
