Asus’ TUF brand is known for value: affordable PC gaming products that often put value before quality. That is exactly what the TUF Gaming M4 Air is. It is a lightweight, wired gaming mouse with a maximum DPI of 16,000, 47 g in weight, IPX6 water resistance, Asus antibacterial protection, and PTFE feet. The Asus TUF Gaming M4 Air is an interesting-looking mouse, even by modern standards. While it is composed of the usual hard plastics that make it look well made, it also features an open back with an intriguing triangular pattern that allows you to see the PCB underneath.
While the open back design is undoubtedly beautiful, it can sometimes make the M4 Air look a bit jagged when your hand rests on the individual bumps at the holes. The same triangular pattern also extends to the sides of the M4 Air, making it a comfortable mouse to hold, even without the rubberized side grips.

As for weight, the M4 Air is the lightest mouse wechave ever used, with a total weight of only 47 grams. This practically cuts the bulk of many competitors in half and results in an incredibly fast gaming experience. In addition, the mouse’s button selection is smaller than that of its competitors, with a simple six-button configuration making everything easier.
With its lightweight design and powerful sensor, the M4 Air was a real pleasure to use. The 16,000 DPI sensor is responsive enough for most gamers. However, if you are accustomed to a heavier mouse, you may need to get used to the M4 Air’s rather lightweight design, so there will be some adjustment time before you can use it to its full potential.
With a minimalist button offering, you will not find a DPI clutch, which is a bit of a sore point if you are more of a competitive gamer or if you are a fan of using sniper rifles in FPS games and need to aim accurately. In terms of software and lighting, the M4 Air offers only one aspect of the story: software.
There is no lighting on the mouse, which makes it quite sharp with a completely black outer shell. In terms of software, the M4 Air uses Asus’ Armoury Crate software, which allows for convenient reprogramming of mouse functions, four-step DPI changes, and application of any firmware updates.
