Trust Gaming GXT 922 Ybar is a pretty good budget gaming mouse. With a 7200 DPI sensor, bright RGB lighting and a sharp design, it will surely be of interest to casual gamers, who will offer some decent performance for a bargain price. Although it is a bit narrow, and the software seems a bit old and confusing to use.

Introduction
Lots of PC gamers will believe that for a decent gaming mouse, you have to take a fair amount of cash. Okay, to that end I’m presenting the Trust’s No-Frills GXT 922.
With key features like a 7200 dpi sensor, an aggressive design and some RGB lighting, it seems to be a respectable option for casual and budget people.
The GXT 922 is available from the Trust’s own website for 22.99, which makes it less of a significant competitor than the Logitech G203 Lightsync.
Design
- Solid wear plastic shell
- Slightly narrow feeling
- Touch and click buttons
Trusted Gaming GXT 922 sports a traditional hard plastic shell that feels relatively tough on the hands, especially for the price.
Its sides are decorated with a textured plastic in a beehive pattern, which may seem a bit comfortable but may feel a bit stiffer than something smooth.
Moreover, the GXT 922 seems to be relatively narrow in my average size hand and may not be the best choice for those with large hands.
You’ll find six programmable buttons that are touch and nicely firm and clickable, but no DPI clutch for ultra-specific targets – which is not necessary for GXT 922 target viewers.
Otherwise, it’s a wired mouse with a fixed 2.1m braided cable that offers a premium touch on an otherwise inexpensive mouse.
Performance
- 7200 DPI is great for casual gamers
- The 120g weight makes it quite heavy
- Relatively comfortable to use
With a 7200 DPI sensor on hand, the Trust Gaming GXT 922 Ybar is less likely to meet some of the best gaming rat standards. Instead, it provides a decent gaming experience for casual players.
I am happy to report that this particular rat performed relatively well based on my usual evidence of CS: GO, with relatively sharp clicks and accurate tracking, feeling responsive to offer sensitivity.
However, keep in mind that at 120g it is significantly heavier than the price competition, and if you want a lighter option, the other rats will be better.
The lack of an out-of-the-box DPI clutch misses a sore if you need a little more precision, and unlike the G203 Lightsync, can’t be found in the accompanying software.
The relatively small size of the GXT 922 makes it ideal for use as a travel mouse, especially if you carry around a laptop that lets you play games.
Otherwise, the GXT 922 looked pretty good on the hand, though its narrow but contour frame revealed some misconceptions. Due to its high weight and overall feel it is not the best mouse to play for long. For small explosions, though, it should work.
Software and lighting
- Decent software options
- Out of the box lighting is stylish
- Rapid Fire is an interesting function
On the software front, it’s the same story as the rest of the Trust Gaming GXT 922 Ybar: it’s not the best passable in terms of layout.
In cheap rats like the Logitech G203 Lightsync and the Razer Viper Mini, software integration enhances overall quality. Here, it keeps it the same – or, if anything, it can contribute to the reduction.
Of course, it’s easy to install via a simple one-click download and export; But once inside, the layout screams 2001 more than 2021. This is software that looks 20 years older than Windows 11 and Windows XP. The options of other manufacturers look much more glamorous.
The actual programming of the GXT 922 is relatively simple, if you can navigate the abundance of drop-down menus. In addition, there are lots of presets for lighting and it is possible to choose custom colors. Otherwise, the only other feature that seemed interesting was the ability to map a ‘Rapid Fire’ command to one of the mouse buttons.
This is a function in shooters that stops ordinary spam clicking on automatic weapons. Used properly, it can be used as a fire-fighting mode for non-existent guns.
The out-of-the-box lighting for the GXT 922 is also nicely bright, although when you first plug it in, you’re welcome in both zones of scrolling through the plethora of RGB. It’s being called lightweight to call it extraordinary.
The latest deal
Will you buy it?
You want to play cheap: GXT 922 A decent alternative if you want to use a gaming mouse repeatedly, which still has a decent sensor and bright light.
You may want to use intuitive software or something for some time: Where this mouse falls down especially with its narrow and hard shell with a little comfortable material, and the old look of its software.
The latest thought
The Trust Gaming GXT 922 Ybar is a decent gaming mouse at a very budget-friendly price. Its 7200 dpi performance should be good enough for casual gaming, while its RGB light adds some extra flair. But narrow frames and poorly presented software may prompt you to consider one of the more well-known brands, such as Logitech and Razer.
