This gaming mouse has a tiny fan inside to keep sweaty palms at bay
Pulsar's latest competitive gaming mouse will literally help you keep your cool during intense matches. The gaming gear company joined forces with Noctua, known for its quiet fans in its signature earthy-brown tones, for a remix of its lightweight Feinmann mouse. The two brands wanted a solution for gamers whose hands get especially sweaty, leading them to jam a 4x4 cm Noctua fan inside a Pulsar mouse.
It's not the first time we've seen a computer fan inside a gaming mouse, but it will be the first one to house Noctua's premium fans that keep noise to a minimum. Looking at the updated Feinmann mouse's design, it's a match made in heaven. Pulsar's mouse already has large gaps in its shell to make for a lightweight build, but also a perfect opening for Noctua to squeeze its fans inside. Buying this mouse won't magically boost you to Radiant in Valorant, but it won't be sweaty hands holding you back.
Don't forget this is a mouse made for competitive gaming, so it will share the specs from the original Feinmann that has a 32,00 DPI sensor and an ultra-fast 8,000 Hz polling rate. Considering the extra element, the Noctua collaboration will be heavier than the original at 65 grams and have a battery life of 10 to 11 hours, according to Pulsar. The mouse is still a prototype that was available to demo at Computex 2025, but it's expected to hit the market later this year. With the Feinmann retailing for $179.95, don't be surprised if the Noctua collab is more expensive than that.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/computing/accessories/this-gaming-mouse-has-a-tiny-fan-inside-to-keep-sweaty-palms-at-bay-161723820.html?src=rss
