Wallhack (previously SkyPad, if you weren’t aware) has teased a gaming mouse that will be announced on July 24. This will be the company’s first gaming mouse, having previously stuck to high-performance mouse pads, sleeves, and skates.
There must just be something irresistible about hot swappable batteries. This mouse looks to have them, as from the teaser trailer, we see a separate battery zooming into place. This also matches what peripheral reviewer mel0nFPS noted about a previous image-only teaser, as they predicted a “hot-swap battery system (250-300 mAh).”
I first saw a hot swappable mouse at Gamescom last year, when I was granted an early look at the Glorious Model O3. Unfortunately that mouse failed to massively impress me for other reasons when I reviewed it (mostly mediocre tracking over wireless and stiff competition at such a high price), but I did like the battery system.
Since then, we’ve seen other companies are having a go at it. There’s the AM Infinity Mouse, which has a recent PixArt PAW3950 sensor and weighs just 49 g. And there’s the as-yet unreleased Steelseries Rival Pro Mini, if the rumours are correct.
