ATK A9 Mini+ Review

I have reviewed mousepads before, but not mice. This is my first mouse-review so let me know if I can improve anything. Thanks! 🖤

Pricing & Shipping

I bought the ATK A9 Mini+ directly from the official ATK store for €70.90 total, shipping to Germany included. It arrived in just 7 days, which is pretty impressive.

Unboxing Experience

Inside the box, you get the mouse, a pretty stiff USB-C cable (feels premium, but sucks for playing while charging), and a translucent 8k Hz dongle. The dongle has an integrated LED that you can customize to change colors based on your preference, the polling rate, or the current battery status.

You also get 10 PTFE dot skates included, which I haven't tested yet, though I haven't exactly heard amazing things about them from others. The included grip tape is pre-cut. People compared it to Pulsar Supergrips (which I don’t own), but I put a strip on Mouse Button 1 and it’s genuinely top-tier. It's super thin, incredibly grippy, and peels off cleanly without leaving sticky residue. Can't speak on longevity yet, but right now it's up there with Mizuworks Senjutsu grips as my favorite.

Shape & Grip compatibility

Shape-wise, the Mini+ is extremely similar to the Superlight 2c, the only difference I have heard from people that own the 2c appears to be that the 2c is slightly longer, the EloShapes 3d comparison tool also supports this claim.

With my 19x10cm hands, the mouse fills the hand very welland feels super comfortable. It’s highly versatile for grips; I can easily switch between relaxed claw, aggressive claw, pincer claw, and even full fingertip, however I can not fully palm grip it.

The shape is extremely safe due to the centered hump and gentle curves, allowing for basically any grip style as long as your hands aren't too large. The sides have a slight inward taper, creating a natural slot for your thumb, pinky and ring finger, and they flare slightly outward toward the top, making sure you don't slip off when lifting the mouse.

Build Quality

The build quality and shell integrity are top-tier—zero flexing or creaking on the sides or the back hump, even when squeezing it hard. QC on my unit is perfect. Also, the "Lake Green" color looks insane in person, easily the best-looking mouse in my collection right now.
