It passes all tests for one simple reason – it is a symmetrically shaped mouse suitable for left-or-right-handed use.We looked at comfort (ergonomics) and tested against Cornell University Ergonomics for computer mice (I will bet you did not know such guidelines existed!) You can read our article on gaming mice here. And well we have only been using it for a few days. Products need to go through extensive testing to get our imprimatur. GadgetGuy is the last Australian owned, publicly accessible deep-dive lifestyle tech website. Well, Zephyr well knows I am not a serious gamer, but I am a serious reviewer. Oh, and if you get killed, it should glow bright red. Although we have a suggestion for a future model – develop an app and also link it to RGB lighting systems for PCs and keyboards. And has a paracord braided 1.8m USB cableĪnd for the bling – 16 million colours/tones and seven animations.The scroll wheel has customisable haptic feedback (clicks).The Omron switches are good for 50,000 clicks.It sits on five PTFE slip pads (Polytetrafluoroethylene – same stuff as on Teflon pans) for 250km of movement.

Anyway, 3D cut-outs enable better air circulation.

We found the lower settings work best, and there is no vibration. It has a built-in fan! No, it is not a gimmick but chose speeds that you need from 4000 to 10000 RPM.For example, a sniper requires lower DPI and a car game requires high DPI. The catch 22 is high DPI is perfect for character movement and reaction time but makes aiming difficult. This is important as it means the speed at which a cursor (or character) moves. We expect the mouse will eventually retail for nearly double that.įirst and foremost Zephyr is a mouse, albeit one that would look quite at home in a sci-fi TV show. Price: Kickstarter has it for US$79 (about A$112) including post.
