SteelSeries, today announced the launch of the all-new Prime Mini and Prime Mini Wireless eSports mice. Building on the award-winning success of the Prime franchise that revolutionized gaming mice technology with the first-ever optical magnetic switches in eSports, the newest edition to the Prime series introduces a lineup of smaller, lighter mice featuring the same cutting-edge Prestige OM technology. Fit, feel, and lightning-fast response time are crucial for fast attacks, melees, and (ultimately) wins. Featuring an ultra-lightweight, ergonomic shape with a smaller profile, the Prime Mini is engineered to be 12% lighter and the Prime Mini Wireless is sculpted to be 9% lighter within a form factor mini silhouette.

Each mouse in the Prime lineup is equipped with Prestige OM switches that are engineered to last 5x longer than the competition, providing crispy clicks with lightning-fast response times that harness the power of light. The revolutionary Optical Magnetic switches, the first OM switch in eSports, actuate at quantum speeds so that gamers can beat the competition to the trigger every time. Not all clicks are made the same - most degrade with each click of the mouse. The unique Prime design utilizes a magnetic core to ensure that the 100 millionth click feels just as crispy as the very first.

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the new Razer Basilisk V3 wired gaming mouse packed with only the best features for advanced customizability. With 10+1 programmable buttons, an intelligent scroll wheel to swap between modes, and a heavy dose of Razer Chroma RGB, it's time to light up the competition.

Since its initial launch in 2017, the Basilisk family has seen continuous improvements, resulting in a line of gaming mice that gamers can make into their own. The Razer Basilisk has become a beacon for gamers in need of a feature-rich mouse, perfect for customizability and performance. "The Basilisk V3 further improves upon its predecessors, checking all the boxes on features a gamer would want in a customizable, adjustable mouse," says Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer's Peripherals Business Unit. "Attention to detail is key when addressing gamers' needs, and with the new innovative scroll wheel on the Basilisk V3, our designers have taken usability and customizability to the next level."

Swedish gaming peripherals maker MIONIX, thought to be derelict, sprung back to life. The company refreshed its website with an all-new design, and announced new products. These include three new gaming mouse models, and a new line of gaming mousepads. The mouse lineup sees what are essentially "we're back!" refreshes to popular existing models. These include the Naos Pro, Avior Pro, and Castor Pro. The mousepad lineup sees the introduction of the Alioth series, which spans from 4:3 "M" size, all the way to rug-sized "4XL" that spans an entire desk top.

The new Pro line of mice see updates to their sensors, buttons, and surfaces, while retaining the essential design, shape, and button-format that made the originals popular. A common thread between the three is the new PixArt PMW-3370 sensor with 19,000 dpi resolution, 400 IPS tracking speed, 50 G acceleration, 1 ms response time, and 12,000 FPS frame-rate. The sensor talks to the driver over a new 16-bit data-format. The mice also feature an updated Arm SoC and 128 KB local storage for your settings. The LED lighting comes with 16.7 million colors. A soft-to-touch UV coating lines the top surfaces, while a 100% PTFE low-friction glide-feet can be found underside.

SilentiumPC Gear, presents the new GEM Plus as an addition to its gaming mouse portfolio. One of the major advantages of the GEM Plus mouse is its ultra-light weight of only 67 grams. Paired with the cutting-edge PixArt PMW3370 sensor, it is capable of reaching DPI levels of up to 19 000. This allows it to track mousepad movement at astonishing speeds of 10,16 m/s. These specifications combined with the ability to adjust the Lift-Off Distance (LOD) within a range of 1 to 2 mm, make it very attractive for professional Esports players. Other distinctive features include the highly durable Kailh GM 8.0 microswitches with an estimated lifespan of 80 million clicks, along with the soft and flexible paracord-like braided cable, which is near-imperceptible during intense gameplay sessions. Just as with all their other products, SilentiumPC Gear have uniquely tailored the mouse to the exact requirements of even the most demanding gamers.

In order to top the leaderboards in online matches or pass that near-impossible level on Ultra-Nightmare difficulty, precision and short reaction times are absolutely crucial. This is why the GEM Plus mouse is equipped with the high-precision PixArt PMW3370 sensor, which makes all the difference. As the player becomes more experienced, the speed at which they are able to move the mouse increases. During the finals of a Counter Strike: Global Offensive competition, record-breaking mouse speeds of over 6 m/s were documented. This is why the PixArt PMW3370 sensor was selected, which is able to record the movement of the GEM Plus even at speeds of up to 10.16 m/s! What this translates to is extremely accurate movement readings, even during the most intense gaming sessions.
