Gamers know the importance of having the right hardware to gain a tactile advantage over opponents. The mouse is one of those vital peripherals that lets you have the slight advantage when points are slipping away on the leaderboard. High sensitivity on the knife’s edge is another attribute of a good for impressive KDR in FPS games. Not to forget the importance of weight, less is always more in the case of a gaming mouse.
YouTuber Juskim wanted to create a custom mouse for gamers who want everything up their alley. In the process, he ended up creating together a gaming mouse that is unofficially the world’s smallest as far as we know. Given his affinity for tiny peripherals, the tiny size was an eventuality. Earlier this year, he put togetherthe world’s lightest wireless mouse (not a gaming mouse to be precise), and now he has built this one to be even smaller and lighter at just 15 grams.
Designer:
The key to the lightweight credentials while reducing the already mini size is the 3D-printed skeletonized frame that has structural strength to take on the onslaught of the most animated gamers who like to vent out their emotions amidst intense gaming action. To improve the surface grip, the creator added texture. The PCB fitted onto the frame is smaller than the previous wireless mouse. To make it a complete package that’s worthy of zero nitpicks, Juskim sealed the deal with a PAW3395 sensor having a 8KHz sampling rate (up to 26K DPI resolution) for precise inputs. Since the sensor is used in high-end gaming mice, you’ll be assured of prime input control. On top of that, the wireless gaming mouse has up to 650 IPS (Inches Per Second) tracking speed, and handles 50g acceleration with ease.
All the hardware is secure inside the 3D-printed housing; including components like buttons, battery and charging circuit. While everything else seems top-notch from the DIY built video, there’s one fundamental flaw that may let the whole thing down. Yes, you guessed it right – the small size leaves very little real estate for a good grip while gaming. Just imagine playing a high-octane battle in a multiplayer game with this small mouse. Of course, a standard-sized gaming mouse can be put together with all these components, but where’s the fun in that? Of course, that can be easily worked around with a bigger shell that houses this small mouse to get a normal form factor. Nonetheless, the DIYer needs to be appreciated for the unique creation, and there were no corners cut as far as the hardware goes to achieve the small size. We hope he at least gets his space in The Guinness Book of World Records.
