“There is a ‘premium-heavy’ feel to the Helios Neo 16S—it’s solid and industrial, but the ‘S’ slim profile keeps it from feeling like a brick. The moment you fire it up, the OLED screen is a total game-changer; the contrast is so intense that the dark areas of a game look truly void-like, while the 240Hz refresh rate makes every flick of the mouse feel instantaneous. Using the PredatorSense app to toggle between ‘Quiet’ and ‘Turbo’ modes feels very intuitive, and you can actually hear the fans shift in pitch to accommodate your workload. The keyboard has a snappy, tactile response that makes typing out a long report as satisfying as hitting a combo in a fighting game. It’s a machine that makes you feel like you have an unfair advantage, whether you’re dominating a leaderboard or rendering a 4K masterpiece.”
