GravaStar Mercury X specifications and in-depth review

GravaStar Mercury X

Manufacturer: GravaStar

The GravaStar Mercury X is a right-handed gaming mouse designed for wireless use, offering three connection modes: 2.4GHz wireless, USB, and Bluetooth 5.2. At just 49 grams, it sits on the lighter end of the spectrum for gaming mice, with a compact form factor measuring 124.6 mm in length, 63.5 mm in width, and 40.5 mm in thickness. It includes RGB lighting and supports use while charging, backed by a rechargeable battery rated for up to 200 hours of use.

Under the hood, the Mercury X is powered by the PixArt PAW3950 sensor, which covers a DPI range from 50 to 32000, adjustable to suit different sensitivity preferences. It tracks at up to 650 IPS with a maximum acceleration of 50G, and operates at a 1000 Hz polling rate. The mouse provides 6 buttons in total, including 2 side buttons and 5 programmable buttons, alongside dedicated DPI and profile switching buttons. The 1.8-meter cable is available for wired use, though the mouse carries no onboard memory profiles. A one-year warranty is included.

Pros
  • Tri-mode connectivity via 2.4GHz wireless, USB, and Bluetooth 5.2 offers flexibility across different setups
  • Battery life is rated at 200 hours, reducing the need for frequent recharging
  • The mouse can be used while charging, avoiding forced downtime
  • At 49 grams, the build is notably light, which reduces fatigue during extended sessions
  • DPI is adjustable across a wide range from 50 to 32000, accommodating a broad variety of sensitivity preferences
  • Five programmable buttons allow for meaningful input customization
Cons
  • No onboard memory profiles means settings cannot be stored directly on the mouse for use across different systems
  • The battery is not removable, limiting options if the battery degrades over time
  • The scroll wheel lacks both tilt and thumb scroll functionality, reducing navigation versatility
  • Right-handed only orientation excludes left-handed users
  • No extra weights are included, leaving users without the option to adjust the feel of the mouse
  • Warranty coverage is limited to one year
Who is this for?

This mouse is a strong fit for right-handed users who value wireless flexibility, as the tri-mode connectivity covers 2.4GHz, USB, and Bluetooth 5.2 — making it practical for both dedicated gaming setups and general desktop use. The 200-hour battery life combined with the ability to use the mouse while charging suits users who need uninterrupted sessions without managing frequent recharge cycles. The wide DPI range from 50 to 32000 and the adjustable sensitivity also make it a reasonable choice for users who regularly switch between tasks requiring precision and fast movement, such as mixed gaming and productivity workflows.

Who is this NOT for?

Left-handed users are immediately excluded by the right-handed-only ergonomic design. Users who rely on onboard memory profiles to carry their settings between multiple machines will find this mouse unsuitable, as it stores no profiles on-device. Those who prefer a heavier mouse with adjustable weight will also be underserved, since no extra weights are included and the fixed 49-gram build offers no customization in that regard. Additionally, users who depend on advanced scroll wheel inputs — such as horizontal scrolling via a tilting wheel — will find the lack of tilt and thumb scroll functionality a meaningful limitation.

The GravaStar Mercury X operates at a 1000 Hz polling rate, reporting its position to the system up to a thousand times per second for responsive cursor movement. Its sensor supports a DPI range from 50 to 32000, with full adjustability across that range to suit different use cases and surface types. Tracking performance extends up to 650 IPS at a maximum acceleration of 50G, giving the mouse a solid capability ceiling for fast and varied movement patterns.
