A wired take on the Turtle Beach Pure Air ($99), the Turtle Beach Pure SEL ($39) gives you the same Kone case while slashing the price by over half. This leaves you with a capable gaming mouse that’s loaded with enough features to keep any gamer happy, without being too much of a money sink. If this sounds pretty good so far, I’m afraid you will quickly begin to notice cost saving measures which really hurt the Pure SEL, especially compared to the best cheap gaming mice we’ve tested.
Its semi-transparent case isn’t the best look, and the plastics used feel closer to a $20 mouse in terms of quality. More unforgivable are the rubberized cable, undermining the admirably low weight and slick PTFE skates. With that being said, there's still something to appreciate about how many aspects of the Pure Air have been translated into a budget variant, helping this mouse remain in line for consideration if you’re after a gaming mouse without breaking the bank.
