Logitech has introduced another special edition of its MX Master 4 wireless mouse, this time aimed at visual creators. The new MX Master 4 Creator Edition follows the Developer Edition we covered two weeks ago, and keeps the same hardware and features as the standard model. The changes are again limited to the mouse appearance. The Creator Edition uses a studio-inspired design with layout grids, color calibration bands, and alignment crosshairs printed on its surface. Logitech has also added three keyframe style timestamps as Easter eggs: 04:27 for World Design Day, 08:19 for World Photography Day, and 04:21 for World Creativity Day.

As with the Developer Edition, there are no changes to the 8,000 DPI sensor, MagSpeed scroll wheel, built-in haptic feedback, or Actions Ring button. The mouse also keeps its 650 mAh battery, rated for up to 70 days of use, along with USB-C charging and multi-device pairing. The MX Master 4 Creator Edition is listed for $119.99 / €129.99 and comes with Logitech's two-year limited hardware warranty.

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.

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.

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.

2026 has been a bit of a watershed moment for computer mice, especially in the gaming space, with features like rapid trigger, adjustable actuation, and haptic feedback making it into mice like the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike (read TechPowerUp's in-depth review here) and X3 Superstrike, but Arctic Fox has taken a different approach to innovation and mouse features with the somewhat perplexing Super Mouse. The Super Mouse is a productivity mouse aimed more at office workers and multitaskers than gamers—to the point that the brand hasn't even disclosed what sensor the mouse is using nor its sensitivity specs.

The Super Mouse's claim to fame is its 3.1-inch, 720p touchscreen on the top, which Arctic Fox has loaded with a bunch of productivity functions, including customizable shortcuts to launch applications on Windows or macOS, a full virtual keyboard, multistep macros and routines, trackpad and gesture functionality, and productivity tracking. The Super Mouse even has built-in voice input for speech-to-text input, and it has full Google Calendar integration via OAuth 2.0, which the brand claims keeps your data private alongside user-defined permissions control, encrypted calendar data, and local calendar data storage. There is also claimed built-in gyro control for 3D navigation.

The Razer Viper Mini has been a highly sought-after mouse since it launched, with the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition being held in even higher regard by small-mouse enthusiasts. Now, it seems as though Razer may finally be moving to update the internals of the Viper Mini series, six years after the original Viper Mini launched in 2020. Alongside new leaks purportedly tipping the existence of what appears to be a Razer Viper Mini HyperSpeed and a new Razer mouse with some sort of magnetic tech to challenge Logitech HITS, new images have appeared of a potential special edition Viper V4 Pro.

[Editor's note: Our in-depth review of Razer Viper V4 Pro is now live]

The Razer Viper Mini HyperSpeed was revealed to be launching sometime in Q1 or Q2 2027, and the Razer HITS mouse at some point in Q2 or Q3. It's still unclear how exactly Razer's HITS competitor will work, but the leaker calling it HITS may suggest that it will also feature the haptic feedback featured in Logitech's system. In slightly less exciting news, Razer also appears to be launching a new special edition colorway of the Viper V4 Pro gaming mouse with a black and green mesh pattern on the top, almost resembling something between a topographic map and tattered material. The leak comes courtesy of screenshots of an OLX listing in Brazil that was shared on X.

Razer only just released the Viper V4 Pro [read the TechPowerUp review here] and DeathAdder V4 Pro [review here], but it seems as though the PC gaming OEM isn't stopping there, with new images posted to X by @jakeufps and @kazeslvt revealing new models of both the Viper V4 Pro and DeathAdder V4 Pro.

According to the leakers, there will be at least three new mice coming out of Razer in the upcoming weeks: carbon fiber Viper and DeathAdder V4 Pros and a purple Viper V4 pro. Allegedly, the carbon fiber variants of the new Viper and DeathAdder V4 Pro mice will come with more than just a new shell material, since the DeathAdder V4 Pro will also be getting the new Focus Pro 50K Gen-3 sensor that's present in the Viper V4 Pro, along with improved battery life.

After announcing the Keychron G6 HE as its latest wireless gaming mouse, Keychron has officially made the new Hall effect gaming mouse available for pre-order and finally divulged the mouse's entire spec sheet and features list. The G6 HE is a 49 g wireless gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape, flagship internals—a PixArt PAW 3955 sensor and Nordic 54LM20A MCU with 8 kHz polling—and hybrid MagOpt Hall effect/Optical switches with adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger functionality. The official pre-order is now live on Keychron's online shop, with pricing starting at $89.99 for the swappable battery version and $74.99 for the built-in battery version, which is seemingly not yet available. While pre-orders are open already, shipping is only expected to start in late November.

The Keychron G6 HE weighs in at a respectable 49 g in wireless mode with the swappable battery installed, but that weight can be reduced to 41 g if run in wired mode. However, Keychron also includes two optional weight blocks for tuning the mouse to 56 g or 66 g, which may be preferred by some gamers for stability purposes. If you're looking for the lightest possible version of the G6 HE, the version with the built-in battery comes in at a svelte 42 g. The G6 HE measures in at 123.7 (l) × 63 (w) × 41 (h) mm, and it has a similar shape to the Logitech G Pro X mice. The shell is available in five frosted translucent colorways—lavender, mint, pink, ice, and smoke—as well as solid black and white. The main clicks feature 0.65 mm of total travel with 11 steps of actuation adjustment and a 100 million-click MTBF rating. It also features a 24-step optical scroll wheel and Keychron's new Zephyr-based ZGM open-source mouse firmware.

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.

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.

Alogic today announced the latest addition to its premium monitor portfolio, introducing the Vision Connect, Vision Docking and Vision Ultrawide monitors and expanding its Clarity and Aspekt display ranges with new high resolution models, all showcased at IFA 2026 in Berlin.

The new range brings together higher resolutions, larger viewing areas and integrated features designed to make the desktop experience simpler and more capable. The portfolio includes the Aspekt 27" 5K, Aspekt 32" 6K and Aspekt 34" 5K Ultrawide, along with the Clarity 5K and Clarity 6K with built-in auto-retractable webcam. Alogic is also showcasing the new Edge 34" 5K, and its latest connectivity solution, the Flash Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station, at the show.

ASUS launched the ROG Spatha X wireless gaming mouse in 2021 as an upgrade to the 2016 MMO gaming mouse, and at Gamescom 2026, the company has once again updated the MMO mouse with new capabilities and a spec bump. The new Spatha X 65K, as the name suggests, features an upgrade to the same Aimpoint Pro 65K sensor that's being used in the new ASUS ROG Gladius IV Ace wireless mouse also introduced at Gamescom.

The sensor update allows the Spatha X 65K a sensitivity of up to 65,000 DPI and adjustable lift-off distance (LOD). The Spatha X 65K also has ASUS's updated ROG Push-Fit Switch Socket III hot-swap design for the main clicks. By default, the Spatha X 65K is available with the ROG Micro Switch II, which has a crisp click and 100 million-click durability rating, or the ROG Silent Micro Switch, which is a silent switch with a rated lifespan of 50 million clicks.

This weekend, HyperX announced several new products during its Level Awakening online event: the Cloud Alpha Air open-back headset, the Pulsefire Haste 3 Pro wireless mouse, and SoloCast 2 Pro USB microphone. HyperX Cloud Alpha Air is an open-back over-ear gaming headset with a metal-reinforced headband and sliders. It features 40 mm dynamic drivers with neodymium magnets, a unidirectional electret condenser microphone and a USB connection with 16-bit and 24-bit audio.

The Pulsefire Haste 3 Pro is a symmetrical wireless gaming mouse with a carbon-fiber shell and a weight of just 47 g. It supports up to 42,000 DPI, five DPI presets (400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400), 800 IPS, 70G acceleration, up to 8,000 Hz polling and uses optical switches. For connectivity, it offers USB, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless. The battery can last up to 35 hours at 8 kHz polling. The HyperX SoloCast 2 Pro is a USB condenser microphone with two 14 mm condenser capsules, a built-in pop filter, RGB lighting and a tap-to-mute sensor. It was also upgraded with a 3.5 mm audio output. All three products are currently listed as coming soon on HyperX's website. The Cloud Alpha Air headset is priced at $149.99 MSRP, the Pulsefire Haste 3 Pro gaming mouse at $129.99, and the SoloCast 2 Pro microphone at $89.99.

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.

Keychron's latest mouse deviates from the brand's recent focus on gaming peripherals and throws a bone to office workers with a penchant for comfort. The BM27 is a wireless ergonomic mouse with a 55° angled grip and silent micro switches on all buttons. The BM27 has six programmable buttons including the left, right, and middle click buttons. In other words, there are three additional programmable buttons that can be customized in Keychron Launcher: one behind the scroll wheel and two thumb keys on the side.

The BM27 is built around the PixArt PAW 3212 sensor, which delivers up to 2400 DPI resolution and tracking at speeds up to 30 IPS, and the polling maxes out at 1 kHz. While this performance is ample for the intended productivity use cases, it's likely insufficient for gaming. It has both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, as well as wired USB Type-C connectivity, and the 500 mAh battery promises up to 100 hours of usage over Bluetooth. The BM27 is relatively affordable, at $34.99 on Keychron's online store. It is only available in Space Gray at the time of writing, and it has a soft-touch UV finish on for additional comfort.
