The PixArt PAW3950 sensor is the latest flagship offering from PixArt, designed to push the boundaries of performance in gaming mice. This sensor boasts an impressive maximum sensitivity of up to 30,000 CPI and a tracking speed of 750 IPS. It also features 3 Lift off distance settings (0.7, 1 and 2mm), a high acceleration of 50G and now also supports Motion Sync with 8000Hz, providing more customizability and making it exceptionally fast and precise for competitive gaming.
Designed for lightning-fast precision at all polling rates, the mechanical Kailh GX switches guarantee you won't miss a crucial click. Their SPDT configuration ensures optimal electrical contact and unmatched reliability. Featuring both top and bottom contacts, Kailh GX Switches excel whether you prefer low click latency in GX Speed Mode or security in GX Safe Mode. What sets them apart is their crisp, defined click sensation, offering tactile feedback for enhanced gaming control. Precise actuation and a balanced design ensure flawless, spam-friendly rapid-fire actions.
Techpowerup tested the OP1 8k click latency with 0.1ms and further adds: "Do keep in mind, however, that this number only accounts for firmware-level latency, as by enabling GX Speed mode, physical latency can be lowered by another 1.4 ms, placing the OP1 8K far ahead of the competition. In fact, I'm positive that the OP1 8K delivers by far the lowest click latency of any mouse released at this point." (Source: Techpowerup)
With a lightweight build of just over 51g, the OP1 8k Purple Frost gaming mouse offers unparalleled comfort during those intense gaming sessions, allowing you to focus on your performance. Drawing inspiration from the popular XM shape, the OP1 8k Purple Frost takes it up a notch while keeping an emphasis on claw grips. Its flatter sides provide ultimate flexibility for finger placement, making it an excellent fit even for gamers with larger hands. The extended side walls prevent accidental clicks, allowing you to rest your fingers on the edge without any interruptions. This subtle yet significant design change offers additional comfort and control, catering to gamers with various hand sizes and grip styles.
Thanks to its Flex Cord 5.0 cable and therefor permanent data connection to the PC, the OP1 8k Purple Frost Limited Edition doesn't need to save power. The lack of power saving features and permanent sensor corded mode mean that the device is always at its peak performance, ready to execute your every move (or click) with unrivalled accuracy and precision. While other mice may experience a slight delay as they wake up, ours remains ready for action at all times. The result? Instantaneous response times and pixel-perfect tracking, giving you the competitive edge. Say goodbye to the tiniest delays caused by power-saving measures. Say hello to the ultimate gaming mouse that never sleeps, the Endgame Gear OP1 8k Purple Frost.
What makes a mouse click great? Ask this question to 10 people and get 11 different answers. Everyone has their own preferences and sometimes we just want to use what nobody else is using. While the Kailh GX is a switch with a very good combination of short internal travel, crisp actuation point and spammability, you may still want to try your favourite switch. All OP1 mice have a swappable main button switch design with accessible screws at the bottom plate. This allows for effortless customization, giving you the perfect click feel tailored to your liking. Choose from a variety of switch packs offering different click sensations, and follow our simple step-by-step guide to replace the switches. With the universal switch pack, you can use any mechanical switch you can find, solder-free.
Similar to the click feeling preference, how a gaming mouse should glide is a science on its own and arguable also depends on the genre of games you play the most. OP1 comes with our so called Hybrid Skate Design. That means out of the box, we chose a smaller skate set that offers a great balance between surface area, weight and glide properties. Additionally, we add a larger skate set and a sensor skate to the packaging, which is beneficial especially for softer mousepads. If you want to minimize the surface area of your mouse skates, say for use on a glass pad, the large skate grooves of the OP1 give you plenty of possibilities to place your favourite dot skates. The screws in the bottom plate can be accessed to open the mouse and change the main button switches without removing the skates.
