Following the release of the Keychron G6 HE, the brand has been steadily expanding its portfolio of models with Hall effect switches for adjustable actuation and rapid trigger support. The G25 HE is Keychron's latest HE mouse model, recently announced in an X post, and it takes the Hall effect switch tech and the flagship internals of the G6 HE and puts it all into a smaller shape that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Razer Viper Mini and Cobra shapes. Keychron has yet to provide a full spec sheet or product page for the G25 HE, but the mouse has been scanned and submitted to EloShapes for comparisons, where its specs and features are also available.

The Keychron G25 HE measures in at 120 × 63 × 39 mm and weighs 46 g, which is on the lighter side for a wireless mouse, but not the lightest by any means. It is also a symmetrical shape with right-side programmable thumb buttons and a partially open bottom plate. The G25 HE is powered by a PixArt PAW 3955 optical sensor and a Nordic 54LM20A MCU, which means it has a peak DPI of 40,000, up to 8 kHz polling rate, and can track at up to 750 IPS and 60 G of acceleration. The star of the show, and the mouse's namesake, are the MagOpt switches which feature both optical and Hall effect magnetic sensing, although the switches still have a click leaf and a distinct tactile bump, which has been largely considered to have a negative impact on the mouse's adjustable actuation trickery.

Scyrox, by now, a well-known alternative to flagship gaming mice from the likes of Logitech and Razer, offering cheaper, often lighter, gaming mice with similar high-performance ambitions and top-tier internals. The Scyrox V12 series is no exception to that rule, with the V12L and V12M offering internals like the PixArt PAW Next I sensor alongside Kailh optical switches, with a 100 million-click MTBF, and a Nordic 54H20 MCU, with up to 8 kHz polling, and a magnetic scroll wheel encoder, for a starting price of $79.99. The Scyrox V12L and V12M will officially be available from November 2 on the Scyrox online store.

The V12L and V12 M are two variants of the same mouse shape in different sizes. The V12M, as you might imagine, is the smaller one of the two, which Scyrox recommends for gamers with hands measuring up to 190 mm, with the shell measuring in at 122 (L) × 62.69 (W) × 38.31 (H) with a weight of 49 g. Meanwhile, the V12L has dimensions of 125.96 (L) × 61.01 (W) × 39.85 (H) and a claimed 51 g weight. The V12 series mice are all symmetrical with a mild mid-hump design and slightly flared front and back, similar to Razer's Viper V4 Pro, which makes them suitable for just about any grip type, although particularly suited to a palm and claw grip, as we noted in our in-depth review of the Razer Viper V4 Pro. The V12 series is wireless, with a 2.4 GHz connection supported by a 250 mAh battery on both mice, although no battery life claims are made.

Hitscan has announced an update to its Hyperlight wireless gaming mouse from 2024, both reducing the weight of the symmetrical mouse and updating its internals in the name of faster clicks and lower response times. The Hitscan Hyperlight X will use the same shape as the original Hyperlight, but the Hyperlight X will allegedly weigh in at 35-37 g, depending on whether you're using full-size or dot skates. While Hitscan itself hasn't shared all that much about the new mouse, aside from its October 28 launch date, @jakeufps on X shared some information about the new hardware.

[Editor's note: Our in-depth review of the original Hitscan Hyperlight is live]

While the Hyperlight X will allegedly have the same shape, it will feature new SPDT switches—nominally closed mechanical switches that send a click when the circuit is opened, effectively reducing the actuation distance and click latency substantially. The Hyperlight X will also launch with the PixArt PAW 3950 sensor, an update from the prior 3395, and a Nordic nRF54L15 MCU. It will also ship with an 8K receiver, enabling 8 kHz polling from the factory instead of requiring an additional accessory purchase.
Update Oct 29th: Hitscan has updated the product page of the Hitscan X with official $109.99 pricing and a proper spec sheet.

High-performance gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK today announced the upcoming release of the R5 TURBO. This next-generation flagship wireless gaming mouse builds on the R5 ULTRA's success with upgraded hardware, dual 8K connectivity, a design optimized for precision control, and a new Dune colorway, alongside classic black and white options.

Gavin Cheng, CEO and Co-Founder of ATTACK SHARK"Following the strong market response to the R5 ULTRA, we pushed further to deliver even greater precision and speed. The R5 TURBO represents our continued commitment to give competitive players the edge they need to perform at their best."

ATK has officially announced its latest collaboration: Pikachu-flavored versions of its Blazing Sky F1 V3 lightweight wireless gaming mouse and its RS7 Air Hall effect gaming keyboard. Both products have already been announced in China, but the official launch date is October 20, and an international launch appears to be a way out. The collaboration is an official deal with Game Freak and Nintendo, and the F1 V3 Pikachu Edition is listed as having a launch price of CNY 369 ($55 converted), with a regular MSRP of CNY 419 ($63 converted). The RS7 Air Pikachu edition will launch at CNY 399 ($60 converted), with an official MSRP of CNY 449 ($67 converted).

The ATK F1 V3 uses the same small-medium claw and palm grip-optimized shape as the F1 V3 Ultimate+, meaning it measures in at 118.2 × 62.4 × 38.8 mm, but it weighs in at 41 g ±3 g, which is 10% heavier than the Ultimate+, and it has the same PixArt PAW 3955 Master sensor and Nordic 54LM20 MCU as the original mouse. ATK claims that those internals afford the mouse a click latency of just 0.174 ms, and ATK claims a wireless battery life of 300 hours at 1 kHz polling, despite the relatively small 300 mAh battery. The F1 V3 can connect to the PC via both USB Type-C and via 2.4 GHz with up to 8 kHz polling over both connections. The clicks use ATK's custom optical switches, while the scroll wheel uses a TTC Gold encoder.

Following on the launch of the ATK Blazing Sky Phantom, ATK has officially launched the Dragonfly A9 Ultimate+, a new wireless gaming mouse that combines flagship internals with convenient wireless charging capabilities. The A9 Ultimate+ uses the same symmetrical shape as previous Dragonfly A9 mice, measuring in at 125 × 63.5 × 40 mm, and featuring accommodations like curved side walls for better grip and an "all-new Nano coating." The mouse will weigh in at a claimed 55 g ±3 g, with the final weight depending on whether or not buyers use the included dot skates of the conventional feet instead.

The headline feature of the A9 Ultimate+ mouse is its magnetic charging dock that adds convenience to the wireless mouse experience. While ATK claims that the 500 mAh battery should deliver up to 350 hours on a single charge (at 1 kHz polling), the wireless dock that comes with the A9 Ultimate+ also doubles as a magnetic charging station. The Dragonfly A9 Ultimate+ is powered by a PixArt PAW 3955 Master sensor and Nordic 54L-series MCU, and it will have ATK's own SwiftLight optical switches, which should reduce latency and make the switches more durable. ATK claims click latency on the Dragonfly A9 Ultimate to be as low as 0.181 ms in 8 kHz polling mode. The ATK Dragonfly A9 Ultimate+ Magnetic Charging Edition is currently available for $69.98 on ATK's online store during a 10-day launch discount, and the official MSRP is $94.98.

ATK has officially launched the Blazing Sky Phantom, a new wireless, carbon fiber composite gaming mouse that is promises a lightweight shell, flagship internals, and a reasonable price—at least compared to big gaming brands, like Razer and Logitech. ATK claims that the Blazing Sky Phantom weighs in at 44 g, although it has had to use honeycomb cutouts on the back of the shell in order to achieve this weight. The Blazing Sky Phantom is available on ATK's website for $99.98 during its pre-order period, after which it will increase to $119.98. Unlike most other carbon fiber mice, the Phantom is available in four different colors: Eon (Black) Prime (White), Verge (Blue), and Dune (Sand).

The mouse shape is the typical symmetrical shape reminiscent of something like a Razer Viper V4 Pro, but with a few notable changes. For starters, the ATK is notably smaller, measuring in at 119.7 × 62.5 × 37.3 mm, compared to the V4 Pro's 127.1 × 63.9 × 39.9 mm, and potentially making it a better fit for a variety of grip types. It also has an updated Nano coating, which is meant to give gamers better grip during tense moments. The side buttons on the ATK Blazing Sky Phantom also appear to be located further forward compared to the Razer. Internally, the ATK Blazing Sky Phantom features the new PixArt PAW 3955 Master sensor combined with a Nordic 54LM20 MCU, giving it an 8 kHz polling rate in both wired and 2.4 GHz modes and a peak sensitivity of 50,000 DPI. The brand claims that the mouse has a 0.174 ms of latency, although it's never specified whether this is motion latency or click latency.

G-Wolves, maker of the Fenrir—which helped popularize the idea of the ultra-light fingertip gaming mouse—has officially announced that pre-orders for its next ultra-light gaming mouse, the Lupine II, will start on September 18. The actual shape of the mouse is still unknown, beyond a top-down silhouette image that confirms a right-handed asymmetrical shape designed for a fingertip grip—seemingly a revision of the Fenrir Asym pictured below, with a top that slopes down to the right—but the Lupine II will officially start selling at $109 for Early Bird pre-orders, $134 for the next round of pre-orders, and $159.

Despite the general mystery surrounding the shape, there is some information available about the Lupine II. For starters, it seems as though it will be available in only black and gray colorways at the time of writing. The spec sheet also confirms that the Lupine II will measure in at 65.38 × 30.27 × 59.95 mm (L × H × W). The promotional imagery on the pre-order page also confirms that the Lupine II will be based on the new PixArt PAW 3955 sensor and a Nordic 54L sensor, and that the mouse will weigh in at 22.7 g, which is less than half of the weight of a lot of full-sized mice that are already considered lightweight.

Mchose, the maker of affordable gaming peripherals, has officially released the A7 V3-series gaming mice as the latest in its line-up of wireless gaming mice that mimic the Logitech G Pro X shape. The A7 V3 mice are available on the Mchose site in three variants: the A7 V3 Pro, coming in at $59, the V3 Pro+ at $69, and the V3 Pro Ultra+ for $79. All three versions also carry a 10% launch discount.

The A7 V3 series all feature the same ABS shell, Super Glide 2.0 coating, and roughly 59 g weight, and they measure in at 39.8 × 63.2 × 128.8 mm. The V3 Pro and Pro+ both have the older PixArt PAW 3950 TI sensor, while the V3 Ultra+ has the new PixArt PAW 3955 TI sensor, which has a slightly higher DPI and slightly better sensitivity and acceleration specs. The only difference between the V3 Pro and Pro+ is that the Pro+ comes with a magnetic wireless charging dock in addition to the 8 kHz nano receiver.

WLMouse has officially revealed its Beast X2 wireless gaming mouse, which was designed in collaboration with notable League of Legends Invictus e-sports team member, TheShy. The new Beast X2 will come in a number of different sizes and four color variations, ranging from 41 g to 48 g, depending on the size of the mouse. Judging by the weight figures cited in the teaser, it does not seem as though the Beast X2 will have the same side design variations that were present in the first generation, instead only offering solid side walls with a perforated top. The Beast X2 series will only officially launch on October 8, and pricing has not yet been announced, but WLMouse has shared a list of internal upgrades and specs to expect from the update.

As you'd likely expect from a flagship magnesium gaming mouse, the Beast X2 will have an updated PixArt PAW 3955 HS sensor, which is WLMouse's customized version of the PAW 3955, paired with a Nordic 54LM20 MCU. The main clicks will be Omron optical switches—so no analogue input tech here—and it will use a Raesha optical encoder, which should be more precise and durable than a regular mechanical encoder. It will be capable of 8 kHz polling over both the wired and wireless connections, and it will have the same Razer Viper V4 Pro-like profile as the Beast X first-gen.

Wallhack has been teasing its M-001 wireless gaming mouse for some time, but it hasn't revealed much of what to expect from the new peripheral when it launches. However, Wallhack has now officially announced the M-001's release date and pricing, and provided a full spec sheet for the new mouse. The official launch date is slated for September 21, and one of the most notable facts that was previously unknown is that the mouse will have a magnesium shell. Despite the cast metal shell, M-001 will still weigh in at a relatively lightweight 53 g.

The internals are also premium, with the M-001 relying on a PixArt PAW 3950 sensor and a Nordic NRF54L15 MCU. This means it will be capable of 8 kHz polling, up to 30,000 DPI, and a claimed 2 ms wireless latency. As previously confirmed, the M-001 will have swappable batteries, and it will ship with two batteries included. We now also know that the batteries will be 250 mAh, which is more or less in-line with what other mouse makers are offering on similar MCU and sensor combinations. The M-001 will measure in at 120 × 64 × 39 mm and feature a right-handed symmetrical shape similar to Logitech's G Pro line-up, but with more sculpted sides.

RAWM, the Chinese peripherals manufacturer, has officially revealed the Leviathan V4 GT, a new lightweight wireless gaming mouse that is slated to feature hybrid optical-magnetic mouse switches, much like Keychron's recent G6 HE. The Leviathan V4 GT is based on the same Logitech G Pro X shape that the brand has featured in its other gaming mouse launches, and the V4 GT even has a similar black-and-white color scheme to the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike (read TechPowerUp's full in-depth G Pro X2 Superstrike review here) that it is aiming to compete with using the adjustable actuation switches.

The mouse maker has yet to publish a price for the Leviathan V4 GT, but it shared a spec highlight in a post on X. In the post, RAWM revealed that the Leviathan V4 GT would weigh in at around 54 g, feature a custom MCU based on the Nordic nRF54, 8 kHz polling rate in both wired and wireless modes, and an optical encoder. Logitech is also planning an imminent replacement for the X2 Superstrike, which will supposedly come in around 4-5 g heavier than RAWM's offering.

We previously covered a leak that claimed Logitech was planning the imminent launch of a second-generation G Pro X2 Superstrike gaming mouse, but not much was known about planned improvements or changes at that time. Now, a new leak has appeared on r/MouseReview on Reddit, claiming to reveal additional details about the new haptic gaming mouse.

For starters, the new leak claims that the G Pro X2 Superstrike (also referred to as the G Pro X3 Superstrike) will feature an updated MCU, the Nordic 54H20, and additional photos of the mouse shared both on Reddit and by @RRnuRaH on X, suggest that there will be both a new pink and yellow colorway, instead of the plain, black-and-white Lunar Eclipse scheme available with the X2 Superstrike.

Following months of anticipation, Pwnage has finally unveiled Vanta, a lightweight wireless gaming mouse that introduces what the company describes as the world's first mechanically adjustable click geometry. In a detailed video, Pwnage explained that unlike conventional gaming mice, where the click feel is fixed during manufacturing, their Vanta mouse allows users to physically adjust how the buttons engage the microswitches. By changing the button geometry, users can modify the force curve and choose between lighter or firmer click responses to better suit different games and personal preferences. In simpler terms, with a tiny screwdriver (included in the package), it allows users to change the click force, initial resistance, force curve, actuation feel, break point and return feel. Besides this, the mouse adopts a symmetrical design, measures 120 x 60 x 39 mm and the shell is made from a magnesium alloy, keeping the mouse weight at just 49 g. Internally, it combines a Nordic nRF54L15 wireless controller with the Pwnage custom XERO sensor that is based on the well-known PixArt PAW3950.

The Vanta also features an adjustable sensor position, enabling users to actually move and reposition the sensor to match their grip style and aiming preferences rather than relying on a fixed position. The Pwnage Vanta is available for preorder starting at $159 with PTFE skates, while the version equipped with glass skates is priced at $179. Four limited-edition color options are also available: Black, Platinum, Nacho, and White.

DrunkDeer, a peripherals brand known for affordable Hall effect gaming keyboards that are often recommended as alternatives to premium brands like Wooting, revealed in late June that it is working on its first gaming mouse. After drip-feeding gamers specs and information about the upcoming mouse, Drunkdeer has finally revealed the shape, rounding out just about all we need to know about the new mouse except for its price.

The DrunkDeer Glacier X—not to be confused with the Chilkey Glacier LW—looks to be playing it safe when it comes to shape, opting for the familiar potato shape of the Logitech G Pro. It's unclear what the exact size of the Glacier X will be, but the mouse appears to have similar proportions to the Logitech G Pro family, even if it does look a little taller than something like the G Pro X Superlight 2.

ATK has officially announced its next flagship-tier lightweight gaming mouse, the X1 Air Master+, which will launch globally on May 26 for CNY 299.2, which converts to roughly $44.03, according to the peripheral maker's latest post on Bilibili. Pricing will likely vary depending on the region, but it will likely still be in the affordable or mid-range price bracket. The X1 Air Master+ features a fairly standard symmetrical shape, measuring 127 × 60 × 40 mm (L × W × H), with a slightly rearward hump, and it weighs in at a claimed 48 g, which isn't as light as something like the new Finalmouse but will be noticeably lighter than something like a Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike for most people. In terms of internals, the X1 Air Master+ will feature a Nordic 54-series MCU, a new PixArt PAW 3955 Master sensor, and ATK optical mouse switches.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the ATK X1 Air Master+'s design comes from its firmware, which allows for custom virtual sensor position, without having to actually physically move a sensor or resort to two sensors to interpolate the virtual sensor position. According to the marketing information shown off in the Bilibili post, the sensor's virtual position will be adjustable along the Y axis, which should enable players sensitive to sensor position to "move" the sensor to make their movements more comfortable and accurate. The rest of the mouse seems to offer a complete package, too, with a claimed 0.181 ms click latency and up to 300 hours of battery life on a single charge. ATK also includes three separate styles of PTFE feet—medium, wide, and dot skates—for players to customize the feel of their gaming mouse physically as well as digitally. It will also feature an adjustable dynamic DPI curve, which will let players set variable sensitivity at different movement speeds.

Finalmouse, maker of the high-performance, somewhat controversial ULX series of gaming mice, has just launched its latest gaming mouse, the Finalmouse Starlight X, after weeks of teasing the new peripheral. The Starlight X is an ultra-light carbon fiber composite gaming mouse, weighing in at 38 g, and it is the first new Finalmouse shape in 11 years. The mouse was designed with FPS gaming in mind, and the brand says that the symmetrical shape has a fuller rear hump with increased support, and reduced pressure points. The Starlight X shell measures 124.8 × 58.9 × 39.5 mm (L × W × H) and has minimal cutouts on the top, likely to balance light weight without compromising comfort and grip. The Finalmouse SLX Nightfall is currently the only colorway on offer, and it will be available for pre-order on the Finalmouse online store for $179 starting on May 30 unless you have an early access code. The headline feature of the Starlight X, however, is the addition of TMR sensing, which enables analogue features, like rapid trigger, adjustable actuation point, and a claimed up to 35 ms latency reduction compared to similar gaming mice.

The new switch tech itself isn't simply a new switch; the SLX uses what it calls the "TMR Dual-State" switch system, which implements TMR sensing with a mechanical click feedback mechanism. According to Finalmouse, this means the new switch mechanism incurs a weight penalty of just 0.24 g, while Logitech's HITS analogue sensing and feedback system on the new G Pro X2 Superstrike adds complexity and has been the scapegoat for the Superstrike's 61 g weight. The drawback of this hybrid switch tech is that the tactile feedback is not adjustable. The SLX is built around a custom Finalmouse F1 sensor, built in collaboration with PixArt, and a Nordic nRF54LM20 MCU, although Finalmouse has deliberately not quoted common specs, instead citing end-to-end latency of 223 µs (0.223 ms). The sensor is likely based on the PAW 3955 sensor, which was previously shown off in the Akko Dash series. Finalmouse has also neglected to specify the Starlight X's polling rate, stating instead that "SLX moves beyond traditional polling-rates entirely," with PerfectPolling that combines subtick optimization, efficient and robust RF scheduling, and high-speed USB interrupts. For what it's worth, USB is generally capped at 8 kHz, and the 232 µs figure cited previously lines up with 8 kHz, which offers theoretical latency of 125 µs.

Fatekeeper was announced during a THQ Nordic showcase in August 2025 as an upcoming first-person ARPG that "blends precise melee combat and precise spellcasting in a handcrafted world," and, although not much fuss has been made about the game since, THQ Nordic and the game's developer, Paraglacial, just announced the game's Steam Early Access release date and published a release date trailer for the game, giving us a glimpse of what to expect when it launches on June 2.

Fatekeeper is being developed by a 13-person outfit, Paraglacial, and to complement the aforementioned brutal melee combat and spellcasting, which have been previewed in a devlog video on YouTube, the developer has shown off an intricate skill tree that gives players a lot of flexibility when it comes to builds and combat. Fatekeeper is set in a post-apocalyptic world with elements from different cultures and time periods throughout history, and it presents players with a focussed narrative while still offering adventurous players with opportunity to explore the world and its lore.

After previewing the Dash series of wireless gaming mice at CES in January 2026, Akko has officially released the Dash Master as its latest iteration in the Dash line-up. The Dash Master features the new PixArt PAW 3955 sensor, which ups the mouse's sensitivity to 65,000 DPI and offers 8 kHz polling. More importantly, the Akko Dash Master weighs in at just 40 g, putting it on the lighter side compared to most mainstream gaming mice. The Dash Master uses both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless connecitivity alongside USB-C wired, with the latter two offering 8 kHz polling. The combination of the new sensor and the Nordic nRF54L15 MCU garner a claimed 30-50% power savings, with battery life clocking in at a claimed 86 days on Bluetooth, 220 hours of continuous use at 1 kHz, and 28 hours of use at 8 kHz polling rate. The Akko Dash Master carries an MSRP of $69.99, but there is a $10 launch discount that brings the price down to $59.99.

The Dash Master, like the other Dash gaming mice, has two side buttons and a symmetrical shape optimized for a claw grip and smaller hands, measuring in at just 117.56 × 60.91 × 37.01 mm, and the main clicks make use of Omron Optical switches, which are known to be reliable and have a long service life, thanks to the lack of a mechanical switch mechanism. The scroll wheel on the Dash Master uses the TTC Gold encoder, which is a popular choice for affordable flagship-tier gaming mice. The Dash Master can be customized and reprogrammed in a browser-based web utility or a downloadable Windows application. One of the benefits of the Master over the other Dash mice is that it ships with three sets of dot skates—all with different friction characteristics—in addition to the pre-installed PTFE skates. Akko specifically notes that the Dash Master has no coating, instead featuring a satin finish on the polymer itself—Akko argues that coatings will just wear off in high contact zones—but it does include precision cut grip tape to add some grip if you need it.

ATK has become known for its impressive budget gaming peripherals that provide gamers with an alternative to flagship gaming mice and keyboards without having to empty their wallets. The brand's latest launch is the ATK Dragonfly A9 Mini, which, the brand claims, will be a world-first exclusive launch of the PixArt PAW 3955 Master sensor, which will be a custom version of the existing PAW 3955 sensor. The mouse itself looks to be a pretty close match to the compact shape of the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C, and it will likely weigh the same as or a little less than Logitech's design, which comes in at 51 g.

As for exact internal specifications, not much has been revealed, but it would make sense for ATK to use a Nordic 52-series MCU and either tuned Omron optical or Huano mechanical switches. Regardless of MCU, the ATK Dragonfly A9 Mini will likely feature 8 kHz polling and ATK's typical "Ice-Feel" coating. The skates deviate from Logitech's design, with two large flat skates at the front and back as well as the typical ring around the sensor. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced, but it will likely cost around the same $59.98-74.98 range as the regular Dragonfly A9 series.

The Orbital Pathfinder is one of the more unique gaming mice out there, owing to its modular, highly configurable design and high-performance internals. Now, more than a year after the mouse first launched, Orbital has announced an updated version of the Pathfinder with refreshed internals, additional modularity and shapes, and an updated scroll wheel in a new special edition clear shell. The new Pathfinder: Ghost also gets a lower starting price, retailing for $149 instead of $189 for the base mouse and exploration kit, with a $29 expansion kit, starting on April 30—however, it will be a made-to-order one-time production run. The brand has also confirmed that the expansion set will be available separately for the black version, suggesting that the improvements will be brought forward into the mainline Pathfinder base kit as well.

[Editor's note: Our in-depth review of the Orbital Pathfinder is now live]

The new Pathfinder operates on the same modular philosophy as the original version but with new materials and additional options. Orbital has introduced four new shapes—the interchangeable attachments that allow you to change the shape of the Pathfinder—thereby expanding the number of configurations to over 5,000. The brand has also updated the PCB, which now supports modular switches and is based on the Nordic nRF54L15 MCU, and the mag-alloy scroll wheel has also been redesigned, although it's unclear what exactly the changes there are. To celebrate the launch, Orbital has also created a Special Edition version of the Pathfinder that's made from a "clear plastic alloy," likely composed of some mixture of polycarbonate.

Lofree is no stranger to peculiar peripheral designs, with the brand having previously released devices like the Hypace wireless gaming mouse and the Lofree Flow 2, with all its ergonomic quirks. It seems as though Lofree's next release, the Hyzen keyboard, may be even more unique than even those examples. The Hyzen is a futuristic, but otherwise unassuming 65% keyboard made out of CNC-cut aluminium, but its design conceals a few nifty features and an entirely new switch design that supposedly combines the best of both mechanical and magnetic tech. The Hyzen will be a wireless keyboard with a gasket mount design, and Lofree claims that the 10,000 mAh battery can last up to 80 hours. It will launch on Kickstarter on April 23, but early bird reservations are available on the Lofree site ahead of the official launch. Kickstarter pricing plans include the tri-mode wireless version priced at $189 with a $299 claimed MSRP further down the line or a $169 wired version that will later retail for $279.

The Nexus switch is a hybrid mechanical switch, designed by Lofree in collaboration with Kailh, that features both a magnet in the stem for TMR functionality and metal contacts and pins for traditional mechanical operation. Lofree says that the new switch design, which it claims is the first of its kind, combines the tactile feedback of mechanical switches with the low latency, customizable actuation distance and analog features of TMR switches. Aside from the new switches, the keyboard also has a physical toggle that switches the number row to a function row, with the function indicated by a row of LEDs above the num row when the function row is active. The Hyzen also has a knob on the back edge for volume control and a switch to select between 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and wired operation. It will also be powered by a Nordic nRF54L series MCU and be capable of 8 kHz polling.

ATK, maker of the Blazing Sky Duckbill mouse that launched in mid-2025 and the recently announced Yogo75 mechanical keyboard, has officially unveiled the launch date, design, and some specifications for its upcoming Zero wireless gaming mouse. The Zero takes a slightly different approach to most of ATK's other gaming mice, opting, instead of the usual ABS or forged carbon fiber, for a translucent, textured polycarbonate shell that will allow you to see the internals of the mouse. The Zero has been confirmed to be arriving in at least three translucent colorways: black, pink, and white, although ATK is known for having a wide variety of color options on most of its gaming mice.

According to the official teaser on X and a recent Reddit post, the ATK Zero will feature much of the same tech as has been present in many of the brand's more recent releases, including the Nordic 54L15 MCU, a PixArt PAW 3950 Ultra sensor with up to 42,000 DPI sensitivity and a 20,000 FPS mode, 8 kHz polling, and a 300 mAh battery. The aforementioned spec sheet also mentions a 39 g weight and dimensions coming in at 120.1 × 63.2 × 38.1 mm, making it almost identical to the Pulsar X2 CrazyLight Medium in terms of size, shape, and weight. The ATK Zero will feature custom ATK optical switches for the main clicks, a TTC Gold encoder for the scroll wheel, and pure PTFE skates. The launch date is currently set for March 11, although pricing is still unknown.

The gaming mouse market is currently being flooded with lightweight wireless gaming mice with flagship sensors from Chinese manufacturers who have caught onto the forged carbon fiber and magnesium alloy construction trends. The latest installment in this recent trend is the newly announced WLMouse Ying Magnesium, which takes inspiration from the industry-leading Endgame Gear OP1. We have seen this shape from WLMouse before in the Ying Carbon Fiber gaming mouse that launched in 2025, but more than just the shell material has changed for the WLMouse Ying Magnesium series.

The Ying Magnesium Alloy offers the same Omron Optical switches as the carbon fiber Ying, but it also features the option of TTC Nihil Transparent Black Dot switches for a slightly heavier click feel. The Ying Magnesium series will also feature the Nordic 52840 MCU and PixArt PAW3950 sensor, with 8 kHz polling and wireless connectivity, as is to be expected from a modern gaming mouse. WLMouse cites the weight of the WLMouse Ying Magnesium mice as 47 g (±2), and the magnesium shell will apparently be available in seven colorways, ranging from regular silver, white, and black to a baby blue and bright red versions of its Nekko patterns, a white watercolor koi fish theme, and a deep purple colorway. No pricing has yet been announced, but that is expected to be revealed alongside the full launch on March 10, 2026.

The Razer Viper V4 Pro has already shown up in previous rumors, with what is thought to be a camouflaged version of the mouse showing up at a Valorant tournament. Now, the successor to the Viper V3 Pro has once again been confirmed, this time by Valorant pro, Canezerra, in a livestream (via BestGamers on X). Allegedly, the Viper V4 Pro is also being used by two other Valorant players. Prosettings.net also lists League of Legends pro, Myrwn, as using the Viper V4 Pro.

The current consensus is that the Viper V4 Pro will use the same or similar internals to the DeathAdder V4 Pro, but with the symmetrical shape of the Viper V3 Pro. This means it will likely feature the new dome receiver of the DeathAdder V4 Pro with a Nordic 54 series MCU, Gen-4 Razer Optical Mouse switches, a Razer Focus Pro 45K Gen 2 sensor, a slight decrease in weight, and minor physical changes, like a new coating and slight shape tweaks. The current-gen Razer Viper V3 Pro was released in April 2024, while the DeathAdder V4 Pro was launched in July 2025; by that logic, we can expect the Viper V4 Pro to launch sometime in Q2 2026 or shortly after.
