Magnesium wireless gaming mouse · tri-mode
A metal shell with most of the metal taken out.
This is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a shell machined from magnesium alloy and cut open across the buttons and the back. The maker puts it at about 49 g. It connects three ways: a 2.4 GHz USB receiver for gaming, Bluetooth for a laptop, or a USB-C cable when you want it wired or need to charge.
It comes in orange-red, black or white, and in two versions, Pro and Max, which differ in the receiver in the box.
The shell
Metal, not honeycomb plastic.
Most ultralight mice get their weight down with thin plastic full of holes. This one uses magnesium alloy instead, a metal lighter than aluminum, and cuts large openings into it. The result feels rigid when you squeeze it and cool to the touch, while staying light enough for fast flicks.
The openings are real openings: you can see into the mouse through them, and dust and crumbs can get in the same way. A soft brush or a puff of air keeps it clean.
Sensor and speed
PixArt PAW3950 underneath.
Tracking comes from a PixArt PAW3950 optical sensor, set by the maker at up to 30,000 DPI, 650 IPS and 50 g of acceleration. In practice that means the cursor keeps up with hard, fast swipes and stays steady on slow, small adjustments.
Polling rate, how often the mouse reports to the PC, depends on the version. The Max ships with an 8K receiver for up to 8,000 reports a second; the Pro ships with a 1K receiver for 1,000. Higher polling feels smoother on a high-refresh monitor and uses more battery.
Three ways to connect
Pick the one that suits the desk.
USB receiver
Plug the small receiver into your PC for the lowest-latency wireless connection. This is the one to use for games.
No receiver needed
Pair it with a laptop or tablet directly and keep the USB port free. Fine for work and browsing.
Wired
Plug in the included cable to use it wired, or just to charge. A button on the mouse switches between the three modes.
Pro or Max
Same mouse, different receiver.
If you play fast shooters on a 240 Hz or faster monitor, the Max is the one to get. For everything else the Pro does the job.
Everyday use
Light enough to forget it is there.
At about 49 g it moves with very little effort, which is the point for gaming and a pleasant side effect for long days of ordinary work. Switch to Bluetooth and the same mouse travels with your laptop.
The main buttons, scroll wheel and two side buttons can be remapped, with macros and DPI steps, through the maker's configuration software.
What arrives
Mouse, receiver and cable.

The details, plainly.
Worth knowing before you buy
The honest small print.
- There is no RGB lighting. Only a single-color light that shows status and battery.
- 8K polling needs the Max and a PC that can keep up. It works through the included 8K receiver, costs more battery than 1K, and is only noticeable on a fast, high-refresh setup.
- It is a smaller, lower mouse. At about 4.4 in (113 mm) long it suits claw and fingertip grips best; large hands that palm a mouse may find it short.
- Open shell, open to dust. The cut-outs let air, dust and crumbs in. Keep food off the desk and brush it out now and then.
