Sharkoon SGM35 and SGM50W Mice Review
Sharkoon has become a relatively well-known brand in the low to mid-tier of PC gaming peripherals and components. The company's product pricing is typically highly competitive, and that’s not changing with their SGM35 and SGM50W gaming mice. Both share the same core design but the SGM50W is wireless and comes with a magnetic charging dock for just £40. The SGM35 forgoes the wireless connectivity but lowers the price to just £20 for its wired connection. Do you get what you pay for, or is this a bargain you need to know about?
