Introduction
SCYROX is a peripherals company based in China. A new name in the industry, SCYROX aims to provide high-quality peripherals at affordable prices. The V8, which is their first release, certainly fits that criteria: PixArt's latest PAW3950 sensor capable of 30,000 CPI sees use, along with Omron D2FP-FN2 optical switches for the main buttons. At 40 g, the V8 is also exceptionally light, even though the shell is completely solid. The V8 already comes with a USB high-speed wireless dongle by default, allowing polling rates of up to 8000 Hz in wireless operation. The feet are made of pure PTFE, and one can choose between installing a set of smaller or larger feet, both of which are included with the mouse. Configuration is done conveniently through a web driver or traditionally through software. The SCYROX V8 is available in yellow, black, or white.

Weight
My scale shows around 40 g (±1 g), which is a bit more than the weight cited by SCYROX. This is similar to the Hitscan Hyperlight, which weighs 40 g while having an open-bottom design, and the Arbiter Studio AKITSU, which features holes and a different shell material to achieve a weight of 39 g, whereas the V8 has a solid shell. An excellent weight overall.
