Alone, these aren’t huge problems, but they do raise some concerns around durability and longevity.

It could also feel a slight vibration in the mouse at times. However, after a few days of use, the fan started to emit a bit of noise – it wasn’t super loud, but it could get annoying after a while. When I first started testing the Zephyr Pro, I was impressed by how quiet it was with the fan running. Maybe my hands were a little less damp than with a fanless mouse, but they certainly weren’t dry.

The Zephyr can be seen in action in the video below.But, it didn’t really stop the sweat. If all goes to plan, shipping should begin in October. Early Bird pledges start at $89 for the mouse, or $169 for a double pack. The Zephyr is being funded on Kickstarter, where it’s already smashed its US$6,500 target more than four times over. Whether you think they’re cool or tacky, it looks like this kind of neon glow is here to stay, especially among streamers and e-sports players. The whole thing weighs 68 g (2.4 oz) – a fair bit lighter than the average gaming mouse, which can easily tip the scales at over 120 g (4.2 oz).Īnd finally, the Zephyr is finished in RGB LEDs, which can display seven different lighting effects. It’s made with Omron switches which the company says will give it a lifetime of up to 50 million clicks.

The sensor has a resolution of up to 16,000 DPI, which should make it pretty smooth to drive, and it only takes one button to switch between office mode and game mode. From there, it looked to have blown air across the back of your hand, which doesn’t seem quite as useful.īesides the fan, the Zephyr also packs a few other features people might come to expect of a gaming mouse.

Other gaming mice, like the Black Element Cyclone, have had fans too, but in that case it was a separate unit that sat up the front.
