The Taiwanese brand A4 Tech has eaten more than one dog in the production of computer peripherals. The brand gained particular popularity in the field of Bloody gaming keyboards and mice, which gamers fell in love with due to affordable price tags and serious equipment. The OP Series family of manipulators reveals the company from a new angle - as a manufacturer of high-quality and affordable office peripherals.

Almost all OP manipulators are built according to the classical principle: two main keys + scroll wheel. The case is most often made of practical black plastic that does not collect fingerprints. The shape of the case is usually symmetrical, so that the mouse can be comfortably controlled by both the right and left hand. Most often, sensors in this series operate in the range from 600 to 1000 DPI.


Additional equipment is usually cut to zero. Backlighting, removable weights and other delights of gaming mice are out of place here at all. Often, everything is limited to the usual scroll wheel and an additional button planted next to it. By holding it down, the user can make the scroll wheel work in a horizontal plane. It turns out a convenient low-cost alternative to the fashionable 4D scroll.

Often, representatives of the SC series, in addition to the traditional USB connector, can be connected to a PS/2 port. This is an ancient connection method that came to the masses in the early 2000s, and then was forgotten with the advent of USB. Might be a useful alternative for people who have to work with old hardware.
