You can use the SR7 as a plug-and-play device, but to unlock the RGB and macro settings, you need the Next software.

We handed the SR7 to a 400-hour aim-trainer veteran. The feedback: "Zero spinouts. The tracking on the PAW3393 is indistinguishable from a Razer DeathAdder V3. The only difference is the shape."

The Next SR7 is a recent entrant into the ultra-competitive sub-$40 wireless gaming mouse market. It is manufactured by Nextime Technology, a brand previously known for office peripherals trying to break into the esports scene.

The best part? The software does not require a background process running. You set your DPI stages (400/800/1600/3200), save them to the onboard memory, and uninstall the software.
