GAMDIAS – ZEUS P1 RGB Gaming Mouse Review

Software

GAMDIAS like a number of other peripheral companies, have a software package that allows you to control the lighting on their peripherals.

For GAMDIAS this is called HERA, following on from the Greek God theme and quite aptly named as she is god of marriage and HERA allows you to manage the lighting of all your GAMDIAS products.

The first screen allows you to manage the default key assignment. Including the assigning of macros that you might have created.

It is worth noting that the Left Mouse Button cannot be reassigned.

The second page is where you manage the macros. From this page, you can create custom macros and record them. You can also remove any delay between keypresses that are recorded.

The third allows you to control the DPI and other performance aspects of the mouse including the Polling Rate, the Double Click Speed, Vertical Scroll Speed, and the Cursor Speed itself.

You can set a maximum of 6 DPI pre-sets which you can scroll between when you set a DPI increment button.

The lighting is controlled on the next screen, this allows you to control the lighting strip around the side of the mouse.

The lighting is RGB and there are a few different pre-sets you can choose from. The first is a nice simple single colour, this has a few pre-sets but you can also specify an RGB value and apply it.

Custom pattern allows you to change the colour at 13 different points on the lighting strip and choose between a single or breathing mode.

Lighting effects allows you to choose from a few more modes. This includes a few modes that restricts you from changing colours

Screen 5 is a bit of an oddity and is something I have not seen implemented on any other mouse I have reviewed.

It allows you to set a noise on the left mouse button that plays whenever you click it.

You can also set a timer, which can show a countdown on screen. When you press a specific button on the mouse.

I suppose these features might be useful for people who need to check cool downs with a bigger visual aid. But considering most games have in game notifications for cool downs it seems an odd feature.

The next two are areas where you can configure the sound files and timers and are self-explanatory.

The last section allows you to update the software itself and the devices firmware.
