Q: Can the mouse drag click?

A: Yes, it works like any other gaming mouse!

Q: Can you change the LED color on the mouse and if so how do you do it?

A: Not on this mouse. Only devices that have "RGB Chroma" on the box or in the description can change color.

Q: Would this work with a Xbox

A: yes it is usb cable

Q: Why does the scroll button on this mouse start skipping after a few months of use?

A: I would say get a new mouse because the sensor on the scroll is bad. The sensor is being blocked by something.

Q: Does this have fast scroll or infinity scroll to speed through long documents or menus?

A: Yes, you can press down the scroll wheel and move the mouse downward to scroll with great speed, this is usually a standard feature you will find in almost any mouse of any price.

Q: What’s the denounce time

A: Not too sure on that one, sorry

    Solid Gaming Mouse - Great Price

    I needed a new mouse, because my old Razer mouse (saw a whole lot of use) was registering double clicks when it shouldn't have. When I opened the box, I have to be honest that it felt a bit more cheaply made than my previous one. It was priced at a very low budget point, so I can't be too angry about that; it's understandable. Despite that worry, it's been in use for multiple months at this point and works great.
