16th July 2015, Overclockers UK, Newcastle-Under-Lyme, official resellers for Cougar, announce the 500M and 550M mice.

If you engage in online gaming, if you love serious gaming and need appropriate gaming gear, Cougar’s 550M and 500M models are what you’re looking for. Both the COUGAR 500M and 550M become one with your hand and allow you to unleash your full potential. The design is based on sound ergonomics, and goes a step further from mere comfort: it helps you enhance your control of the mouse.

The best gaming mice have to be based on the best mouse sensor, and COUGAR 550M comes equipped with a truly powerful sensor as its engine. The SDNS-3988 optical sensor offers up to 6400dpi resolution, accurately transmitting even the smallest movements, and allows you to adjust the DPI level on the fly.

The COUGAR 550M and 500M bring you all the functionality you will ever need for gaming. 6 buttons allow you to access, using only the mouse, up to 21 different functions, including macros, shortcuts and more. With carefully located buttons, including the distinctive Trigger Button, using all this extended functionality will become natural, almost instinctive. All this goes a step further with UIX System. COUGAR’s gaming device management system allows you to easily and intuitively manage all this power. COUGAR 550M’s 512 KB internal memory will allow you to store up to 3 full configuration profiles and bring them with you anywhere you go.

Cougar started in Germany in 2007 by a group of computer peripherals engineers who wanted to design with passion. Cougar believes to give gamers the highest quality and ultimately, beautiful products, a company needs to be in the forefront of technology.
