Equipment and design

The Ninjutso Ten Air comes in a cardboard box, part of which slides to the side, revealing the interior.

Inside are a mouse, a 2.4 GHz dongle, a braided USB-A to USB-C cable, a set of glides, and a set of stickers with the brand logo. The kit is minimalist, but it has everything a user needs.

The model features a classic symmetrical shape with a standard set of buttons: left and right, a pair of side buttons, a scroll wheel with an integrated key, and a power switch at the base. Nothing fancy , just to the point. According to the creators, the shape was designed from the ground up to provide better palm support for any grip and reduce hand strain during long gaming sessions. As a result, the mouse is suitable for fingertip, claw, and palm grips, although some may find the backrest a bit too high for the latter.

The plastic case is matte and smooth. The manufacturer claims that the new coating guarantees 30% better grip compared to the Ninjutso Sora v2. Although we weren’t able to hold the Sora v2, we were able to confirm that the Ninjutso Ten Air truly fits in our hands like a glove, and this is not only due to its shape but also to the particularly grippy plastic.

The mouse is extremely lightweight, weighing just 45 grams. The brand also offers the Ninjutso Ten, which is 8 grams heavier but offers 45 hours of battery life. Ninjutso offers a choice between lightweight and battery life.

The main keys are a particular highlight of the manufacturer’s design. Constant contact between the key and the switch eliminates pre-travel, a slight play caused by the distance between these elements. The key responds as soon as you press it, without any delay. However, it’s worth noting the presence of side-travel; the keys wobble slightly from left to right, although this doesn’t interfere with operation . The scroll wheel is equipped with a rubberized insert and rotates with noticeable force and a clear feedback.

The base of the case is flat and emblazoned with the brand name. In addition to the optical sensor, it also houses the mouse’s power switch. The glides are enclosed in an envelope inside the packaging; you’ll need to glue them on yourself. According to the manufacturer, these are unique HyperSkates glides, which have a completely flat surface without indentations and ensure a longer lifespan.

The Ninjutso Ten Air is available in white and black. Its appearance is understated, with only a couple of bright accents on the back and right side of the mouse. The same can’t be said for the dongle: it’s shaped like a semi-transparent capsule and shimmers with vibrant colors when connected to a PC. Fortunately, you can turn off the illumination if it becomes distracting.

Connection and setup

The model supports both wired and wireless connections, but in the latter case, only a radio connection is available; there is no Bluetooth support.

The mouse is configured using an application available in both web and desktop versions, the latter of which can be downloaded here . It features five tabs where you can configure mouse button functions , set DPI values, select the polling rate, set the lift-off height, adjust the dongle backlight , manage macros, and update the mouse and dongle firmware.

Overall, the software contains standard options for a gaming mouse, but it’s essential – not least because it’s the only place you can select the DPI and polling rate. In other words, the app is mandatory, even though you’re unlikely to use it often.

Impressions of use

The device features an AimNinja sensor with a resolution of 100 to 30,000 DPI, a tracking speed of 750 ips, and 50 g acceleration. The sensor is powerful and reliable; during our online shooter testing , we encountered no issues or malfunctions.

The keys provide instant clicks. They use HyperClick technology, which increases the speed of transmission from the switch to the controller , minimizes latency, and eliminates the possibility of double-clicks.

The wheel is the Ninjutso Ten Air’s weak point. It’s slow to turn, and pressing it requires a lot of force. In the heat of battle, when selecting weapons or using skills, this can be a problem.

Battery life is excellent. You can play and work for 10-11 days without recharging the mouse. That’s excellent. The device charges quickly, in just over an hour.

Furthermore, the comfortable shape and light weight of the model are also worth mentioning. Some users prefer heavier mice, but for those who spend a lot of time at the computer, the lightweight design will be a pleasant bonus. This is one of the lightest mice on the market, and that’s a definite plus.

Conclusion

The Ninjutso Ten Air is a pleasant and comfortable gaming mouse. Its high-performance sensor, high-quality build quality, instant response to clicks, and excellent battery life make it one of the best options. This includes its price: the device is quite affordable for a flagship product, and it’s available in Russia for less than if ordered from China.

However, it’s not without its drawbacks: the dongle’s backlight is blinding , and the scrolling is treacherously awkward. Whether these drawbacks are worth taking seriously is up to you.
