Dream Machines is a peripherals company based in Poland. Their newest release, the DM5 Blink, is a right-handed ergonomic mouse. It comes with the usual assortment of features one would expect in 2019: The PMW3389, which is capable of up to 16,000 CPI and currently one of PixArt's best optical sensors, main button switches rated for 20 million clicks, a particularly flexible "shoelace" cable, full RGB lighting, and software customizability. What's less expected, however, is the notably wallet-friendly price tag of $32.99. Let's find out whether the DM5 Blink is able to hold up.
