Alienware Debuts New Pro Wireless Mouse and Pro Wireless Keyboard
For the first time in our history, we are
breaking into the competitive gaming peripheral scene with the new Alienware Pro Wireless Mouse and Alienware Pro Wireless Keyboard. These advanced wireless products debut at CES
2024 alongside new gaming laptops and first of their kind QD-OLED monitors to
satisfy competitive players and esports professionals.
Our team knew that to make a
premier mouse and keyboard tailored for pros,
we needed input from pros. Throughout
the development process, we collaborated with over 100 esports athletes from
across the globe, including Team Liquid, our longtime partner and the most
successful team in esports history. Guided by their insights, our expert
engineers and designers meticulously crafted our most advanced peripherals
ever.
Alienware Pro Mouse
Pro gamers are in consensus – a tournament-ready mouse needs to
be responsive, comfortable and offer long battery life. We pushed the limits in
these areas then combined them with thoughtful conveniences to make the
Alienware Pro Mouse a great choice for anyone — from esports athletes to tech
enthusiasts.
We started by packing the Pro Mouse with the highest performance
components. You are probably familiar with DPI, but another key performance
characteristic is polling rate. Polling rate is the frequency in which data is
sent from a mouse to a device.
The higher the polling rate, the more often a mouse tells a
computer its position. This results in faster response and precision and leads
to a smoother looking mouse cursor when aiming or moving around the screen
(similar to the benefits of a high refresh rate monitor). When milliseconds
matter, the Alienware Pro Mouse gives you the edge with 4KHz wireless (0.25ms
response time) and 8KHz (0.125ms) wired polling rates — a huge step up from the
1KHz maximum seen on many of today's gaming mice.
But what good is performance if the mouse isn't comfortable to
hold? Finding the ideal design for a wide range of gamers was no easy feat –
after all, everyone has a unique hand anatomy. Working closely with pro esports
athletes, our designers sculpted a rounded symmetrical shape suitable for all
grip types (palm, claw, fingertip) and
hand sizes. We dialed in the perfect
weight – under 60g for an
ultralightweight feel – to balance mobility and stability then took the design
a step further by incorporating a built-in dongle housing.
With the design perfected, our next priority was ensuring each
click is rapidly registered and feels consistent for every user. To achieve
this, we pioneered exclusive Magnetic-Force Keyplates with optical switches.
Their magnetic force allows the Pro Mouse to deliver faster debounce times –
the time it takes for the switch to register a mouse click – and improves rapid
clicking speed while preventing button stick.
We then equipped the Alienware Pro Mouse with a state-of-the-art
sensor. More specifically, the mouse offers 650 IPS tracking speed, 50G
Acceleration and up to 26,000 DPI for precision and consistent tracking during
gameplay. It's also durable, boasting up to 70 million click rating so even
first-person shooter and real-time strategy players can feel reassuredi.
