Darmoshark, the Chinese mouse maker previously responsible for the Darmoshark M9, a flagship-spec gaming mouse for gamers with big hands, has come out swinging at the likes of the new Pulsar X2F CrazyLight and G-Wolves Lupine II with the Air28. The new asymmetrical fingertip gaming mouse packs flagship-tier specs into a small shape optimized for a fingertip grip.

Much like the aforementioned G-Wolves Lupine II, the Darmoshark Air28 is an asymmetrical "ergo" fingertip mouse, and it comes in at a claimed 28 g, hence the name. Pricing is unclear as of the time of writing, but the brand has released the specs on its Bilibili page, revealing a PixArt PAW 3955 sensor and a Nordic 54L15 MCU, granting it 8 kHz polling, up to 30,000 DPI, 60 G acceleration, and 850 IPS tracking speed. The Air28 will also have optical mouse switches when it launches, although an exact launch date is as yet unclear. When it launches, it will feature both 2.4 GHz wireless and USB Type-C wired connectivity.The Bilibili teaser video also shows off the internals, which feature a lateral reinforcement strut to resist tight squeezing, suggesting the mouse will have a very thin side wall. It will also come with an NXP Dual 8K Display Receiver, which Darmoshark has long sold alongside its gaming mouse. This is likely the same receiver as the one sold with the Darmoshark M5 Air V2 mouse, which retails for around $80-119 on th Darmoshark official store, suggesting a similar price for the new Air28. Despite the ergonomic shape, and the lack of honeycomb cutouts, the new Air28 is still a claimed 3 g—or 10%—lighter than the aforementioned M5 Air V2
