Canyon positions its CND series products as affordable workhorses for casual gamers who don't want to overpay for eSports mice with high-end optical sensors, mechanical switches and expensive wireless receivers. CND mice are unlikely to surprise you with any additional features or unprecedented accuracy, but at the same time, their capabilities are enough to run around online in The Finals, Apex Legends or PUBG.


Unlike other popular manufacturers who try to saturate the number of product lines with similar models, Canyon, on the contrary, throws everything into one bag, which is why the range of the CND series is quite difficult to sum up to a common denominator. The number of models on sale can reach two dozen, among which there are equally neat symmetrical mice, lightweight models with a perforated body, extravagant manipulators with a cyberpunk design, and even rare vertical mice, which are more commonly seen at the workplace than at a gaming PC.

However, in technical terms, most representatives of the CND series are similar to each other: a standard cable is used for connection, an inexpensive PixArt/Sunplus optical sensor with a resolution of up to 5000 - 7200 DPI is responsible for sensitivity, and the main buttons and scroll wheel are usually accompanied by a pair of side programmable keys with built-in memory. The shape can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. Backlighting is quite common. Most often this is a fairly simple RGB illumination with support for simple lighting effects.
