Gamdias Hades M1: Software

With the HERA software running, we can see it has a nice graphical user interface with a few options to go through. Like the Corsair Utility Engine and the Razer Synapse software, HERA can manage multiple gaming peripherals simultaneously. In the Key Assignment tab, we can assign different mouse and keyboard functions to any button. Five separate profiles allow us to store multiple key assignments and lighting effects within the mouse.

In the Macro Management tab, we can create, record, and delete macros if we want. The HERA software does allow importing and duplicating macro settings for your convenience.

Mouse control lets you adjust cursor speed, scroll speed, double click speed, DPI sensitivity, and polling rate. Unfortunately, there is not an adjustment for lift-off distance. In terms of DPI, there are six customizable DPI levels to choose from. The DPI range is from 600 to 13000 (not 10800?) and can be adjusted in steps of 200.

Unlike the Zeus P1 and Zeus M1, the Hades M1 does not have as many lighting options. There are three choices: single, breathing, and neon. Neon cycles through many colors, while single/breathing allows us to use just one color.

In the next section, we will take a look at how the Hades M1 performs.
