The Genesis Krypton 290 is the model from the 200 series. In its ergonomic case you will find a 6400 DPI sensor, in-built memory for storing settings, as well as switches which provide effortless work for a long time. The set is complete with LED illumination with the signature PRISMO effect.

The Genesis Krypton 290 gaming mouse is a light (99 g) design with a symmetrical shape. The model is equipped with seven programmable buttons which can be configured with the use of the manufacturer's software.

We're all for recycling here at TPU and it's good to see that more and more big corporations are getting involved, but we can't help but feel that Microsoft is making bigger claims than it really is in this case. The company unveiled a new mouse at yesterday's Surface event called the Microsoft Ocean Plastic Mouse, however, the mouse is only made with 20 percent recycled plastic, although it does apparently come from plastic fished out of the oceans or other waterways. The issue here is that it only contains a tiny amount of recycled plastic, so it's hard to credit Microsoft for doing something real for the environment.

The Microsoft Ocean Plastic Mouse looks tacky as well, especially the scroll wheel, which is not only extremely slim by the looks of it, but also looks fiddly to use. It's a very basic two button mouse, although the scroll wheel is apparently also clickable and it can be tilted for vertical scrolling. The mouse connects via Bluetooth and supports Bluetooth 4.0 and 5, as well as Microsoft Swift Pair technology. It has a claimed wireless range of up to 10 meters, although Microsoft put in a note that it's closer to five meters in an office environment. It runs off of a AA battery which is meant to be good for up to 12 months of usage. The packaging is made out of wood and sugarcane fiber and doesn't include any plastic. Microsoft will also accept your old mouse for recycling if you get one of these and will apparently even pay for the postage. The Microsoft Ocean Plastic Mouse retails for $25.

HyperX, the gaming peripherals team at HP Inc. and brand leader in gaming and esports, today announced the HyperX Pulsefire Haste gaming mouse is now compatible with NVIDIA Reflex. NVIDIA Reflex measures system latency - giving gamers an accurate measure of their system's responsiveness.

The tool detects clicks coming from the mouse and then measures the time it takes for the resulting pixel to change on screen. Now with Reflex, gamers can start a match with confidence, knowing their system is operating exactly as it should be.

SteelSeries, today announced the launch of the all-new Prime Mini and Prime Mini Wireless eSports mice. Building on the award-winning success of the Prime franchise that revolutionized gaming mice technology with the first-ever optical magnetic switches in eSports, the newest edition to the Prime series introduces a lineup of smaller, lighter mice featuring the same cutting-edge Prestige OM technology. Fit, feel, and lightning-fast response time are crucial for fast attacks, melees, and (ultimately) wins. Featuring an ultra-lightweight, ergonomic shape with a smaller profile, the Prime Mini is engineered to be 12% lighter and the Prime Mini Wireless is sculpted to be 9% lighter within a form factor mini silhouette.

Each mouse in the Prime lineup is equipped with Prestige OM switches that are engineered to last 5x longer than the competition, providing crispy clicks with lightning-fast response times that harness the power of light. The revolutionary Optical Magnetic switches, the first OM switch in eSports, actuate at quantum speeds so that gamers can beat the competition to the trigger every time. Not all clicks are made the same - most degrade with each click of the mouse. The unique Prime design utilizes a magnetic core to ensure that the 100 millionth click feels just as crispy as the very first.

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the new Razer Basilisk V3 wired gaming mouse packed with only the best features for advanced customizability. With 10+1 programmable buttons, an intelligent scroll wheel to swap between modes, and a heavy dose of Razer Chroma RGB, it's time to light up the competition.

Since its initial launch in 2017, the Basilisk family has seen continuous improvements, resulting in a line of gaming mice that gamers can make into their own. The Razer Basilisk has become a beacon for gamers in need of a feature-rich mouse, perfect for customizability and performance. "The Basilisk V3 further improves upon its predecessors, checking all the boxes on features a gamer would want in a customizable, adjustable mouse," says Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer's Peripherals Business Unit. "Attention to detail is key when addressing gamers' needs, and with the new innovative scroll wheel on the Basilisk V3, our designers have taken usability and customizability to the next level."

Swedish gaming peripherals maker MIONIX, thought to be derelict, sprung back to life. The company refreshed its website with an all-new design, and announced new products. These include three new gaming mouse models, and a new line of gaming mousepads. The mouse lineup sees what are essentially "we're back!" refreshes to popular existing models. These include the Naos Pro, Avior Pro, and Castor Pro. The mousepad lineup sees the introduction of the Alioth series, which spans from 4:3 "M" size, all the way to rug-sized "4XL" that spans an entire desk top.

The new Pro line of mice see updates to their sensors, buttons, and surfaces, while retaining the essential design, shape, and button-format that made the originals popular. A common thread between the three is the new PixArt PMW-3370 sensor with 19,000 dpi resolution, 400 IPS tracking speed, 50 G acceleration, 1 ms response time, and 12,000 FPS frame-rate. The sensor talks to the driver over a new 16-bit data-format. The mice also feature an updated Arm SoC and 128 KB local storage for your settings. The LED lighting comes with 16.7 million colors. A soft-to-touch UV coating lines the top surfaces, while a 100% PTFE low-friction glide-feet can be found underside.

SilentiumPC Gear, presents the new GEM Plus as an addition to its gaming mouse portfolio. One of the major advantages of the GEM Plus mouse is its ultra-light weight of only 67 grams. Paired with the cutting-edge PixArt PMW3370 sensor, it is capable of reaching DPI levels of up to 19 000. This allows it to track mousepad movement at astonishing speeds of 10,16 m/s. These specifications combined with the ability to adjust the Lift-Off Distance (LOD) within a range of 1 to 2 mm, make it very attractive for professional Esports players. Other distinctive features include the highly durable Kailh GM 8.0 microswitches with an estimated lifespan of 80 million clicks, along with the soft and flexible paracord-like braided cable, which is near-imperceptible during intense gameplay sessions. Just as with all their other products, SilentiumPC Gear have uniquely tailored the mouse to the exact requirements of even the most demanding gamers.

In order to top the leaderboards in online matches or pass that near-impossible level on Ultra-Nightmare difficulty, precision and short reaction times are absolutely crucial. This is why the GEM Plus mouse is equipped with the high-precision PixArt PMW3370 sensor, which makes all the difference. As the player becomes more experienced, the speed at which they are able to move the mouse increases. During the finals of a Counter Strike: Global Offensive competition, record-breaking mouse speeds of over 6 m/s were documented. This is why the PixArt PMW3370 sensor was selected, which is able to record the movement of the GEM Plus even at speeds of up to 10.16 m/s! What this translates to is extremely accurate movement readings, even during the most intense gaming sessions.

Trust Electronics is pleased to introduce its GXT 863 Mazz mechanical keyboard and GXT 922 Ybar full RGB LED illuminated mouse.
