The Marsback driver software is simple, but pretty effective. So what the fan actually does is give the sensation that the palm rest is slightly cool, which is a lot nicer than some of the matte surfaces I’ve used on other mice that wear off after a couple of months.
That’s nice when the mercury gets close to 40 degrees, as is looking increasingly likely in the coming weeks. The mouse already has holes in it - sorry, trypophobia sufferers.īut you’ve already got a bit more airflow than a regular mouse chassis. It is a soft, gentle, almost barely noticeable amount of wind. We’re not talking Dyson-levels of suction here. The coolest element, and the most obvious drawback, of the Marsback Zephyr Pro is the miniscule little RGB device that has all the power of those USB-powered fans you bought from Catch of the Day when it first launched. It comes in black, white, and pink variants.So to stand out, new companies have to think of something different. If the concept has you curious, you can get it at “early bird” pricing for 50% off, or $80, from the Mindshunter website.
If I hadn’t switched entirely to vertical mice, I’d be tempted to pick it up to find out. The bigger question is whether Mindshunter has been able to dampen the vibrations that come with those high RPMs enough to make the mouse usable. This thing will most likely not be good for stealth missions, and you might even need a headset for it. Small fans and high RPMs mean lots of noise, even if Mindshunter has “made it super quiet.” The company says that on the product page, but offers no decibel rating to back that up.
The fan is small enough, of course, to fit into the palm of a wired computer mouse, meaning that it’s probably around 30-mm in diameter. The three speeds are 4,000, 7,000, and a head-spinning 10,000 RPMs. It has three speeds–four if you include the ‘off’ position. The Zephyr’s charm point is its RGB LED fan, which sits at an angle inside the mouse. The switches beneath the buttons are Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks of durability. The sensor powering the mouse is a PixArt 3389 sensor with a maximum 16,000 DPI resolution. Like other mice with open exoskeletons, part of that comes from just having less plastic on its body. You might think that Zephyr is just a cool word that gaming companies like to put on things, but it’s actually means “a soft, gentle breeze.” That means it’s the perfect name for this new mouse. Reset the timer, because Mindshunter is at it again with the Zephyr Gaming Mouse. 2012 brought us the Thermaltake Esports Black Element Cyclone Edition gaming mouse, and there was a 2007 mouse from Brando that featured one, too. It seems like it’s about every 5 or 7 years that someone puts out a mouse with a built-in fan.
