HATOR Gaming B.V. a pioneering gaming brand proudly born in Ukraine, announced today that its entry into the UK continues, with the launch of the HATOR Pulsar 4 Wireless Gaming Mouse, shipping online via hator.com. Recently announcing its entry into the UK market with the astonishing Skyfall Magnetic Keyboard range, smart gamers seeking premium precision without the premium pricing can now purchase the ideal companion to the keyboard via the Pulsar 4 Wireless.

The Pulsar 4 Wireless continues HATOR's proud tradition of 'no-compromise' quality and engineering, designing its best-in-class gaming hardware in-house, and working with the gaming community to deliver the essentials gamers crave, without the exorbitant price often found with high-end gaming brands.

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.

High-performance gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK today announced the upcoming release of the R5 TURBO.

Building on the Razer Analog Optical Switches Gen-2, Rapid Trigger, and adjustable actuation, the new 60% gaming keyboard adds true 8000 Hz HyperPolling and the full Advanced Input Control suite - Razer Snap Flex, Razer Snap Tap, Dynamic Keystroke and Dual-Keypress Priority, in a compact layout built for maximum mouse room and easy transport.

With the culmination of the brand's 25th anniversary, SteelSeries, the global leader in premium gaming and esports peripherals, today unveils a new generation of two of its most iconic mouse franchises: the Sensei Pro and Rival Pro Series.

While 8K is all the rage, gamers can't necessarily take full advantage of 8K polling consistently because there is significant congestion on the 2.4 GHz highway, and 8K polling itself is power-hungry. Similar to the 5G mobile network wars, different brands claim to have the fastest network and best coverage, but with different metrics and implementations, making it hard to understand. The truth is, 8K polling is only as fast as the signal behind it, and the 2.4 GHz band that nearly every wireless mouse relies on is congested with headsets, keyboards, phones, and every other device in the area, all fighting for the same spectrum. Ultimately, it all comes down to performance.

Pulsar has officially launched its latest fingertip grip gaming mouse, the X2F CrazyLight, effectively shaving off a whole extra 9 g—or 24%—from the original X2F design, and updating the mouse's internals in the process. The new X2F CrazyLight features Pulsar's X2-S gaming sensor, which promises accurate tracking at up to 42,000 DPI, 800 IPS speeds, and 70 G of acceleration. It also has a 20K lock mode, which locks the mouse's frame rate, for faster response times, at the cost of battery life.

The mouse itself is capable of 8 kHz polling rate, and it has a symmetrical, fingertip shape measuring in at 87.5 × 31.1 × 31.6 mm. It uses Pulsar Optical Switches, rated for 100 million clicks, and a TTC Gold encoder on the scroll wheel, which Pulsar claims has a more durable, dust-resistant design. The shell is made from a blend of ABS and nylon, and it includes both dot skates and full-cover feet for adjustable levels of control. The mouse can be reprogrammed and customized in Pulsar's downloadable driver or with the Bibimbap web driver for a software-free experience.

HP has released the GT06, a full-size mechanical keyboard that offers an 8,000 Hz polling rate with wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth connectivity. In a landscape dominated by compact layouts, the full-size GT06 keyboard is a rare apparition aimed at gamers and general desktop use. The GT06 keyboard features a 106-key layout, a gasket-mounted structure, and seven layers of internal padding. It is available with Kailh, Seiya, or Feather switches and uses double-shot PBT keycaps with RGB backlighting and 16 lighting effects. The keyboard supports Music Rhythm Lighting Effect 3.0, while a multifunction knob placed on the right side provides volume adjustment and one-click mute.

A large 12,000 mAh battery rated for up to 30 days of use powers the keyboard, however, HP does not specify the conditions to reach 30 days of usage, probably without RGB lighting. Two-stage adjustable feet allow users to change the typing angle. User can configure the keyboard through a web-based software or a dedicated client driver. The HP GT06 is currently available in China through JD.com for 310 yuan or around $43. International availability or pricing has not been announced.

Mchose, a brand known for making affordable high-performance gaming peripherals, has officially launched the Ace75, a new Hall effect gaming keyboard with a 75% layout and a focus on both aesthetics and gaming performance. Mchose hasn't specified what the keyboard is made from, but the images on the Kickstarter page suggest an aluminium case that's been anodized to color-match the keycaps for various colorways. On Kickstarter, the Mchose Ace75 starts at $109, but the MSRP will be $149 when it eventually launches out of the Kickstarter.

The Ace75 offers the choice of two switches, depending on what keyboard color you choose: the Moon Rock Grey keyboard will come with Berserker Magnetic Switches, while the more exciting Mecha Green, Navy Blue, and Midnight Purple versions will come with TTC Royal Steed switches. The Moon Rock Grey colorway will also be the only one of the lot to ship with opaque PBT keycaps, while the other three colorways come with translucent polycarbonate, instead. Aside from the fairly minimalist case design, the Ace75 comes with a few tricks up its sleeve that may make it particularly useful as a keyboard that's both a daily driver and a gaming accessory.

With an ever-growing selection of Hall effect gaming keyboards to choose from, it seems as though e-sports brand RAWM has opted for optical switch tech for its next keyboard, the Nyx60, which it has announced will launch on Kickstarter on September 3. The only other major player in the PC peripherals market still relying on optical switches is Razer, and even Razer recently launched the Huntsman V3 HE to complement its optical keyboard line-up. The RAWM Nyx60's current listed MSRP is $199, but it will launch on Kickstarter with an early bird price of $99 for those who sign up with a $1 reservation.

RAWM argues that optical switch tech provides more stable actuation detection than magnetic switches and sensors, and it claims to be the first gaming keyboard to offer "light-guided optical switches in a full aluminium keyboard. It's currently unclear what, if anything, sets RAWM's switch tech apart from the prismatic designs we've already seen in Wooting and Razer's switches, but RAWM claims that the optical switch tech will offer 0.01 mm precision for both actuation and rapid trigger, and it says that the optical switches offer other benefits over HE, while offering all of the nifty analogue features, like RT, DKS, SOCD, and Mod Tap.

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.

Gaming peripheral brand Attack Shark has announced the upcoming launch of the F1 AIR, a new flagship ultra-lightweight gaming mouse designed for competitive esports players seeking top-tier performance, responsiveness, and precision. Weighing just 39 g (±3 g), the F1 AIR is engineered to minimize hand and wrist fatigue during extended gaming sessions while maximizing agility and control. Its ultra-lightweight design enables faster flick shots, quicker stop-and-shoot adjustments, and more responsive aiming, giving FPS players the speed and precision needed to react instantly in high-pressure competitive scenarios. The F1 AIR will be available for order on attackshark.com starting from August 17, 2026.

Equipped with the latest PixArt PAW3955MAX sensor, the F1 AIR combines cutting-edge tracking technology with ultra-responsive wireless performance. The sensor features native support for HP 1K, 2K, and 4K polling rate modes, enabling more efficient integration with modern high-polling-rate wireless transmission systems. Supporting polling rates of up to 8K, it delivers rapid data communication and highly responsive tracking, while fine-grained 1-DPI adjustment allows players to tailor sensitivity with exceptional precision. The result is smooth, accurate control designed to keep pace with the speed and demands of modern competitive gaming.

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.

Gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK has announced the upcoming launch of the RS6 ULTRA, its most advanced wireless gaming mouse to date. Designed for competitive FPS players and the premium esports peripheral market, the new model combines a lightweight carbon fiber structure, flagship sensing technology, low-latency wireless performance, and a magnetic hot-swappable battery system.

The RS6 ULTRA's magnetic hot-swappable battery system is designed to eliminate the compromises associated with conventional wireless gaming mice. Unlike integrated lithium battery designs that require wired charging and eventually suffer from battery aging, or conventional removable battery systems that depend on battery doors and latch mechanisms, the RS6 ULTRA features a proprietary magnetic alignment design with gold-plated contacts, enabling fast, tool-free battery replacement without disrupting wireless operation. Its dual-battery system further ensures uninterrupted gameplay by allowing one battery to power the mouse while the included 8K receiver simultaneously charges the spare, providing continuous wireless performance and a longer product lifecycle through easily replaceable batteries.

Wallhack, one of the niche gaming peripherals companies that helped push glass mousepads into the mainstream—as much as they are in the mainstream, as it were—has apparently been working on a new product category: gaming peripherals. Wallhack's social media pages have recently been chock-full of teasers for an upcoming product, with confirmation coming on July 17 that the company has been working on a wireless gaming mouse. There has also been a teaser for an upcoming 65% keyboard with a knob, but not much else has been revealed about that product other than it will have a metal chassis with a polished finish.

On July 20, Wallhack posted a longer video teaser, seemingly revealing clues about the upcoming mouse's features and design. The M-001, as it will apparently be named, will seemingly feature a standard potato shape with an open bottom shell and six spots for skates along the edges. Based on what the brand has shown off so far, the M-001 will also have a unique base station that sort of resembles an analogue camera, and it may have a removable Li-ion battery, like the somewhat recent Glorious Model O3 (read the TechPowerUp review here).

Building on its continuous innovation and refinement in the mouse category, Epomaker introduces the latest addition to the Nex series: the Nex Lite.

Following the recent launch of the Keychron K4 Ultra and K10 Ultra, the accessory maker has officially launched the new K5 Ultra 8K, a low-profile wireless mechanical keyboard with a full 100% layout and sleek cherry wood accents. The K5 Ultra is the latest version of the low-profile K Ultra-series, which means it uses the same ZMK firmware and has the same 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connectivity as the previously announced K3 Ultra had. The K5 Ultra has launched with an MSRP of $114.99, and is available in black on the Keychron online store or on Amazon. The K5 Ultra is also capable of refresh rates of up to 8 kHz over both the wired USB Type-C connection and the 2.4 GHz connection. Wireless connectivity is powered by a 2,400 mAh battery, and Keychron cites 370 hours of use from a single charge with the backlighting disabled and the keyboard running at an 8 kHz polling rate.

The Keychron K5 Ultra uses a proper full-size layout and includes both a programmable knob above the backspace key and a macro row above the num pad. The K5 Ultra is available with Keychron's relatively new Milk POM low-profile switches—which follow the Gateron Low-Profile 2.0 pin layout—in three switch flavors. Milk POM Reds are linear with a 45 gf actuation force, while the Milk POM Browns are tactile with a 50 gf actuation force, and the Milk POM Banana switches are a strong tactile switch with 57 gf actuation force. All three switches have 3.1 mm of total travel, but the Reds have 1.3 mm of pre-travel, while the two tactile varieties have 1.7 mm pre-travel. The K5 Ultra measures in at 436.6 x 128.29 mm and has a 15.55 mm front height. It also features two-stage flip-out feet for different typing angles.

At Computex, Cherry Xtrfy announces the launch of the K63W Pro Compact, bringing new Ultra-Wideband technology to gaming keyboards. Paired with a true 8000 Hz polling rate, the K63W Pro delivers a new level of wireless performance.

The next evolution of wireless gaming
While traditional wireless solutions operate within narrow and crowded frequency bands, Ultra-Wideband transmits data in short bursts across a much wider frequency spectrum. This enables more precise signal timing, reduced interference and stable wireless communication, even in crowded wireless environments. Built around four key pillars for gaming peripherals, the technology supports lower-latency wireless performance, high throughput for true 8000 Hz polling, more robust connectivity and greater power efficiency for longer battery life.

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.
