Its universal ergonomic shape suits many hand sizes and grip styles for extended sessions. The Super Mesh cable reduces drag for a lighter feel during fast movements.

TrueMove Air 18000 CPI Optical Sensor

A custom PixArt optical sensor delivers true 1-to-1 tracking at up to 18000 CPI with zero hardware acceleration. This single specification determines whether the mouse meets the precision demands of competitive play. Adjustable sensitivity lets you match cursor speed to any in-game scenario instantly.

9 Programmable Buttons With 80M Click Life

Five quick-action side buttons and a toggle switch provide ample binds for abilities, macros, or weapon swaps in complex titles. Golden Micro IP54 switches resist dust and water while rated for 80 million flawless clicks. The 85g lightweight frame keeps fatigue low, though the fixed weight prevents mass tuning.

Questions about this item

How does the 18000 CPI sensor behave in actual gameplay?

The TrueMove Air optical sensor delivers true 1-to-1 tracking at up to 18000 CPI, so on-screen movement matches physical hand motion without acceleration or smoothing.

What does the USB interface mean for latency and power?

The wired USB connection draws power directly from the port and maintains a stable signal without the latency variance or battery management of wireless alternatives.

Will the 12.192 cm length and 85 g weight suit a claw grip?

At 12.192 cm long, 5.207 cm wide, 19.4056 cm high and 85 g, the right-handed ergonomic shell lets most claw-grip users reach all nine buttons comfortably.
