ADATA XPG Launches ALPHA WIRELESS Gaming Mouse

XPG, a fast-growing provider of systems, components, and peripherals for Gamers, Esports Pros, and Tech Enthusiasts, today announces the ALPHA WIRED and WIRELESS gaming mouse. A 2022 Red Dot Design award winner, the mouse features an ergonomic design, energy-efficient PAW-3335 sensor, and premium OMRON switches for comfort and performance.

The ALPHA gaming mouse sports simple and elegant curved contours with a comfortable grip that reflect XPG's industrial design language, called ":Exoskeleton". The design philosophy emphasizes a balance between form and function, with a focus on ergonomics. By studying data from a large pool of diverse subjects using XPG's AI driven hand scanning application, XPG was able to determine the optimal mouse shape. For example, the overall width of the mouse is derived from averaging finger measurements collected to create a device with an ideal grip size.
Made for the Best Gaming Experience
On the inside, XPG ALPHA will impress too. Equipped with an energy-efficient, high-performance PAW-3335 sensor from Pixart, it provides a range of DPI settings from 100 to 16000 to meet the requirements of all types of games. What's more, a programmable triangular button at the top of the mouse offers excellent flexibility in connecting to XPG PRIME software. XPG ALPHA is also made to last with premium OMRON switches capable of 60-million clicks. Its connection modes include a low-latency 2.4G wireless via dedicated dongle for gaming or a standard Bluetooth direct connection for versatility and productivity, featuring up to 60 hours of battery life while still using default LED lights.

The RGB lighting on the ALPHA diffuses subtle and elegant light via 3 dedicated zones that are independent of each other. Light settings can be stored using 3 customizable hardware profiles or through XPG PRIME software.

Customize with XPG PRIME
XPG ALPHA is a software-programmable gaming mouse, where buttons, DPI settings, and RGB lighting effects can be customized and tailored to each user's needs. Programmable buttons, button assignments, and Macro settings can be programmed and saved to user profiles for seamless switching between PCs.

Oh, dear... :banghead:
The S11 Pro also priced competitively, and Adata backs the S11 Pro with a 5-year warranty and outfits it with similar endurance as most top-ranking SSDs. The company also includes support via an SSD toolbox and Acronis True Image disk imaging software for free.
In short, Adata’s XPG Gammix S11 Pro offers a lot of performance for not a whole lot more than most entry-level SSDs. It sure as heck is a lot cheaper than the WD Black SN750 and Samsung 970 EVO Plus, which makes it a great value for those looking to balance speed and budget. That said, HP's SSD EX950 is quite similar and is now selling for $10 less. And the Phison E12-powered Corsair Force MP510 is just $125 at this time. But these drives have no heatsinks included. So, if you are trying to pinch pennies while attaining some of the highest NVMe speeds you can, there are some alternatives. But if you want all those things plus good looks, this ADATA drive is tough to beat.

Ah, ok, so it's not sarcasm, just cluelessness. No problem.

I mean you link a test from Tom's, which praises a SINGLE modell, then that means the brand is awesome.

The reality is that their SSDs are prone to failure (had a few, and I'm working as an IT journalist, so I'd like to think that I'm in touch with reality regarding hardware), or they just plainly changing parts (to lower shelf ones) without disclosing it to the public, so on my part, never again for personal use. Some of their RAMs are decent.

Their gaming hardware is anything but impressive, it's rather on the lower spectrum of generic/outdated stuff. There are small, relatively unknown chinese/taiwanese brands which are light years ahead of them. Can't name a SINGLE XPG keyboard/mouse/mousepad/headphones I'd like to use for more than an hour, and this is one of my hobbies, so I've had/tested/wrote about/got a "few" to make proper comparisons.

Same thing with this mouse. The shape looks okay for palm grip (maybe so-so for claw gripping with huge hands), the sensor is okay, nothing to write home about, and the rest is muhh. Manufacturers should forget Omrons if it's not D2F-01F, that cable looks chunky af, no virgin grade PTFE and that weight... just the opposite of competitive in this day and age, regardless of the size and the fact that it's wireless. Just wrote an article about it. : /

I love the G602-like shape, but omron switches (or, for that matter, any mechanical pos switch) without easy solderless hotswap are a no go for me. I'm not buying more gaming mice that develop double click. Either use optical switches instead of the omron crap, or provide an easy method for swapping the mechanical switches that will invariably malfunction, like Asus does.
