Silent wireless gaming mouse for five hundred! Rapture COBRA STEALTH has USB-C and RGB backlighting

A silent wireless gaming mouse for five hundred? Rapture COBRA STEALTH attracts with its great price and Kailh Silent switches, which you barely hear when clicking. However, 377 customers and a complaint rate of 5.85% reveal that not everything is rosy.

Scroll wheel as a ticking time bomb

If you go through the reviews, one problem keeps repeating: a squeaky scroll wheel. “After just a week, the scroll wheel started to squeak terribly,” writes one customer. “The scroll wheel started to squeak incredibly after one week, I haven’t experienced anything so loud before,” adds another. Some solved the problem with WD-40, others with a complaint.

The second recurring problem is durability. Several reviewers state that the mouse works reliably for two years and then starts to fail. “It fails after 2 years, experience with three already,” warns one customer. At a price of 559 Kč, it might not be a tragedy, but you have to factor that in.

Why people still buy it

Despite all the problems, the mouse has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 and 79% of customers recommend it. The main reason? Silent switches. “Absolutely great, the only gaming mouse with silent click technology,” enthusiastically writes one reviewer. For night gaming or a shared household, this is a crucial feature.

Battery life of up to 80 hours without RGB (50 with backlighting) is above average for a wireless mouse in this price category. USB-C charging is a nice bonus. And it also works with the cable connected, so a drained battery won’t stop you in the middle of a game.

What else you should know

The weight of 118 grams is higher by today’s standards – modern gaming mice often weigh under 80 grams. Some people find this suitable, others perceive it as a disadvantage. The surface gets dirty and greasy quickly; one customer recommends having a cleaner and cloth handy.

The original price was 699 Kč and now with code ALZADNY20 it costs 559 Kč. For this price, you get a wireless mouse with silent switches, RGB backlighting, and decent battery life. However, you must account for the risk of a squeaky scroll wheel and a lifespan of around two years. As one customer summarizes: “If you encounter a faulty unit, just return it for a warranty claim and order the same one again – and you’ll be satisfied.”

Do you prefer a silent mouse, or do you not mind the classic clicking sound?
