The Ybar+ by Trust is a fair gaming mouse for shooters if you don’t want to spend more than 50 euros

Weight, Ergonomics, and Battery Life

The weight: The mouse weighs 85 grams according to the kitchen scale and is therefore slightly lighter than Roccat’s Kone XP and the Logitech G502X. Both of the mentioned mice weigh about 100 grams. In direct comparison, however, the mouse is heavier than mice that are primarily aimed at shooter players:

• The HyperX Pulsfire Haste weighs (for the test) around 61 grams.
• Razer’s Viper Ultimate weighs 74 grams.
• Logitech’s G PRO X SUPERLIGHT weighs 63 grams.

Especially with the last two, they are indeed top models, but it can be established that shooter mice have been getting lighter for several years. For those who prefer leisurely games like Anno 1800 or turn-based RPGs, 85 grams is also sufficient.

The comparatively high weight of 85 grams for the Ybar+ is therefore not a real drawback; however, those who want a really lightweight mouse in the shooter area will find lighter alternatives from other manufacturers. I mentioned three alternatives above.

The ergonomics: I have very large hands with a hand size of 19 centimeters. All buttons are easy to reach in both palm grip and fingertip grip. I find the Ybar+ very comfortable in everyday use, and I enjoy using it for gaming.

The sides of the mouse offer a textured grip, but they are not properly rubberized. The mouse always rests securely in the right hand, and I do not slip off.

The Mouse Buttons, Scroll Wheel, and Sensor

The mouse buttons: Under the buttons are unspecified switches. The mouse clicks are therefore clearly audible and resemble the clicking sound and feel most closely to the switches that Logitech uses in its G305. The clicks are audible but not annoying. I find the loud metallic clicking of the G502X Lightspeed or the hollow clicking of the Roccat Burst Pro much more unpleasant when I am not wearing headphones or a headset.

The scroll wheel: The scroll wheel is soft and precise. While it lacks the precision and fine-tuning of a G502, it feels significantly better than Corsair’s M75 Air, whose scroll wheel only partially convinced me in the test.

Sensor: After the wireless Ybar from Trust did not really convince me regarding the sensor, the Ybar+ tries again. With the Ybar+, Trust uses a sensor that resolves at 25,000 DPI. Trust does not disclose which manufacturer is behind the sensor. Only the resolution is mentioned on the packaging. Most sensors, however, come from Pixart in one form or another.

In comparison to the wireless Ybar, the Plus model performs significantly better. The sensor provides good to very good measurement values with slight deviations. However, these are within the usual range.

I suspect that the wireless connection in the Ybar hinders the sensor and distorts or ruins the measurements. At least Trust has installed the better sensor in its Ybar+, at least on paper. And in practice, the Ybar+ can convince me more.

Conclusion: Fair Budget Model for Shooter Players

Who is the mouse suitable for? With the Ybar+, Trust offers a fair budget model for under 50 euros. I was already pleased with the ergonomics of the Ybar and can be convinced here as well. The quality of construction is good, and the sensor also works reasonably well.

For 50 euros, you therefore get a good overall package, but you should keep in mind that there are indeed lighter and sometimes cheaper options available. For instance, the Logitech G305 can regularly be found for under 40 euros.

What alternatives are there?

• The G Pro X Superlight is even lighter at 63 grams and offers a closed housing. It costs around 90 euros.
• The Razer Viper Ultimate weighs 74 grams but offers a much higher battery life of about 70 hours. It is also regularly available for under 90 euros.
• The HyperX Pulsfire Haste would be my budget tip in its wired version for around 50 euros, and the wireless version is also worth recommending for about 90 euros.
