Equipment and design

The Ninjutso Ten comes in a small white cardboard box, part of which slides aside, revealing the inside, which contains the mouse, a dongle for wireless connection, a braided USB-A to USB-C cable, an envelope containing a set of glides, and a set of stickers.

Externally, the model is indistinguishable from its “little sister”: the same classic, symmetrical body shape, suitable for all grip types, and the same set of buttons (left and right, a pair of side buttons, a scroll button, and a power switch at the base). It’s a highly versatile option that won’t require any getting used to, as is the case with mice with unusual dimensions or body elements.

The smooth matte plastic provides excellent grip. The mouse fits perfectly in your hand, and its light weight means you won’t get tired, even if you’re gaming or working all day long.

The main keys have no pre-travel, thanks to constant contact between the key and the microswitch. This means the key will respond immediately after being pressed, without any delay. This saves precious milliseconds in online games. The scroll wheel is equipped with a rubberized insert for improved grip. It rotates slightly roughly, and requires noticeable force to press.

The base of the body is solid and flat. You’ll need to glue the included glides yourself: there are two options to choose from: large ones or small, dot-type ones. The manufacturer notes that these are unique HyperSkates glides with a flat surface and a long service life.

Like the Ninjutso Ten Air , the Ninjutso Ten is available in black and white. The design is discreet; in the black version, even the brand logo is barely visible. However, the dongle glows brightly, practically blinding you with its backlighting . Fortunately, the illumination can be turned off if needed.

Connection and setup

The new product supports USB and 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity. The mouse is ready to use out of the box, but if you want to tinker with the settings, you can do so in the app, which is available in both web and desktop versions.

The app allows you to update the firmware of the mouse and dongle, which it will prompt you to do upon first connection, as well as reassign keys, set DPI values, select the polling rate, adjust the dongle’s backlight , record macros, and more.

Even if you don’t need advanced options, it’s still worth downloading the software. The mouse doesn’t have a dedicated key for changing the default DPI, so if you want to change this setting, you’ll need to install the app. In other words, the utility is required for initial mouse setup, but after that, you can safely uninstall it.

Impressions of use

The AimNinja sensor used in the Ninjutso Ten supports resolutions from 100 to 30,000 DPI, a tracking speed of 750 ips, and 50 g acceleration. The sensor is high-quality and powerful, and it’s impossible to tear.

The dongle provides a polling rate of 8000 Hz, which will surely be appreciated by fans of intense online shooters . The higher the polling rate, the smoother the mouse movements and the more accurate the click registration. If you don’t play competitive titles and want to save some battery, you can choose a lower polling rate—for example, 1000 Hz.

As noted above, the keys respond instantly. The proprietary HyperClick technology accelerates data transfer from the switch to the controller and minimizes the likelihood of double-clicking.

The 480 mAh battery gives the mouse up to 140 hours of battery life. The smaller Ninjutso Ten Air has a 300 mAh battery and lasts 95 hours. However, the Ninjutso Ten weighs slightly more—53 grams versus 45 grams for the Ten Air. Whether weight or battery life is more important is up to you.

The model’s drawbacks include a stiff scroll wheel, which requires considerable effort to scroll and press. This can be problematic during active play, when you need to switch weapons or character skills.

Conclusion

The Ninjutso Ten is a good gaming mouse. Even though it weighs more than its “little sister,” it’s still lighter than many competitors, meaning gamers won’t feel fatigued after long gaming sessions.

The high-performance sensor ensures precise tracking and positioning in any scenario, whether playing online shooters or MOBAs or working with spreadsheets and documents.

In addition, the model boasts a very affordable price, and in Russia it can be purchased cheaper than ordering from China.

The new product has the same drawbacks as the previous version: a dongle with a bright backlight and an awkward scroll wheel. Whether these will be deal-breakers is up to you to decide.
