Darmoshark Launches Flagship-Tier M9 Gaming Mouse for Gamers With Big Hands
Darmoshark has announced a new wireless gaming mouse designed specifically for users with big hands, with the mouse making its debut in a post on Bilibili. The Darmoshark M9 has a similar shape to the ever-popular Razer Viper V3 Pro, but it measures in at 136.5 × 68.1 × 43.5 mm, compared to the Viper V3 Pro's 127.1 × 63.9 × 39.9 mm. A few millimeters' difference may not seem like much, but it's a bigger difference across the board than the difference between the original Razer Viper Ultimate (126.8 × 57.6 × 37.8 mm) and the Viper Mini (118.3 mm × 53.5 × 38.3 mm), and the shape being what it is, it should provide a decent experience for users who would otherwise feel cramped on a standard-size gaming mouse. Darmoshark makes no hard claims, but it says that it "may well be the largest mouse to date."

The Darmoshark M9 doesn't skimp on the specs, either, featuring a PixArt PAW 3950 sensor, a Nordic 54L15 MCU, Omron Optical switches, and a 500 mAh battery, all at a claimed weight of 59 g—only 5 g heavier than the Viper V3 Pro and roughly the same weight as the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2. This hardware means it will have 8 kHz polling as well as features like a 20 FPS mode and adjustable lift-off. Like the aforementioned mice, it has a solid shell and two programmable side buttons. It seems as though the increased shell size has made it necessary to move the hump slightly to the back for more palm support without affecting click height too much, and the scroll wheel has a rubberized coating. The mouse is already available in China for RMB 400, which converts to roughly $58, although it's likely the price will increase if and when it eventually gets a global release.
