Introduction
Established in 2018, G-Wolves is a peripherals company based in China. After the HSK Pro and HSK Plus, G-Wolves presents another mouse primarily conceived for fingertip grip. However, unlike the former, the Hati-R is a right-handed ergonomic design, which is unusual. At 28 g, the Hati-R 8K also is exceptionally light, as it is a decent bit larger than the HSK Pro at 26 g, still features side buttons and a scroll wheel, and holes are only used on the sides, while the bottom is largely open. PixArt's PAW3395 sensor capable of 26,000 CPI is used, along with Huano switches for the main buttons. In wireless operation, polling rates of up to 8000 Hz are available. Configuration is exclusively done through a web driver. The Hati-R is available in white, black, red, or green. A slightly smaller and lighter variant going by the name Hati-R Pro 8K is also available.

Weight
My scale shows around 28 g (±1 g), which is exactly in line with the weight cited by G-Wolves. For comparison, the smaller G-Wolves HSK Pro weighs 26 g, which furthermore comes with a 130 mAh battery instead of the 250 mAh used on the Hati-R 8K, whereas the similarly sized Darmoshark M5 weighs 38 g. An excellent weight.
