Genesis Zircon 550 is a gaming mouse which can work both wirelessly and connected via cable. At the same it is very light, weighing only 90 g. The device is equipped with switches with 20 million durability and a high precision sensor. RGB Illumination completes the set. The Genesis Zircon 550 gaming mouse is a light, 90 g design. The meshed top facilitates air flow for the hand. It also bears the manufacturer's logo. Just like the roller and the strip running around the base, it can display all colors of the rainbow thanks to RGB illumination. The model can connect to a PC with two modes - via cable and wirelessly on the 2.4 GHz band with low latency. Wireless communication is enabled through a nanoreceiver, which can be hidden in the device.

High precision motion tracking is enabled through a PixArt PMW3325 sensor. The sensor sensitivity can be configured from 200 to 8000 DPI. According to the manufacturer, it manages acceleration up to 20 G and tracks movements with speed of up to 100 inches per second. The reporting is set at the 1000 Hz frequency. When buying the mouse, the user also gets proper software. It allows the user to change the functions of each of the seven keys, create macros, change the illumination settings, and save sets in the in-built memory as profiles.



The Genesis Zircon 550 mouse has a profiled case with rubber additions, which translates into proper grip and longer, comfortable session times. On the other hand, switches with 20 million click durability translate into quick reaction time and long life. The set also includes a USB-C cable required for working in the cable mode and charging the power supply. Working on battery allows for 80 hours of operations. This is possible thanks to an automatic sleep mode.

MSRP: USD $59.99.

If someone goes for "lightweight" then Steelseries Rival 3 is even better, it's only 77g. Personaly, I like to feel the mouse in my hand therefore I prefer mice like HP Omen 600 or Logitech G500 with additional weights for optimal balance. Well, depends on palm size and grip type I guess.
