WLMouse Reveals Beast X2: 48 g Wireless Magnesium Gaming Mouse With Touch-Screen

WLMouse has officially revealed its Beast X2 wireless gaming mouse, which was designed in collaboration with notable League of Legends Invictus e-sports team member, TheShy. The new Beast X2 will come in a number of different sizes and four color variations, ranging from 41 g to 48 g, depending on the size of the mouse. Judging by the weight figures cited in the teaser, it does not seem as though the Beast X2 will have the same side design variations that were present in the first generation, instead only offering solid side walls with a perforated top. The Beast X2 series will only officially launch on October 8, and pricing has not yet been announced, but WLMouse has shared a list of internal upgrades and specs to expect from the update.

As you'd likely expect from a flagship magnesium gaming mouse, the Beast X2 will have an updated PixArt PAW 3955 HS sensor, which is WLMouse's customized version of the PAW 3955, paired with a Nordic 54LM20 MCU. The main clicks will be Omron optical switches—so no analogue input tech here—and it will use a Raesha optical encoder, which should be more precise and durable than a regular mechanical encoder. It will be capable of 8 kHz polling over both the wired and wireless connections, and it will have the same Razer Viper V4 Pro-like profile as the Beast X first-gen. Read full story
