Cherry Releases Gentix 4K Mouse

Cherry introduces the GENTIX 4K. This wired mouse is based on the best-selling GENTIX but has been revamped with a high-resolution sensor, which makes it more pleasant to use with 4K or 5K monitors. Users also benefit from the ergonomic design and pleasant palm grip.

The GENTIX 4K has a precise optical sensor with a maximum sampling resolution of 3600 DPI. This allows the cursor to move quickly across the screen, even on 4K/5K monitors or multi-display setups. A DPI switch on the top of the mouse allows switching between four preset resolutions (800/1200/2400/3600 DPI) on the fly at a simple push of a button.

The integrated red lighting of the clickable mouse wheel doesn’t just look good, but it’s very useful as well: thanks to a built-in LED, the user can quickly check the current DPI resolution. Regardless of the chosen resolution, the scroll wheel can be illuminated permanently or only flash accordingly when switched. Also new are the two thumb buttons on the left side of the GENTIX 4K, for example to navigate websites at lightning speed. The rubberized side parts and the abrasion-resistant surface finish remain unchanged and ensure a safe and pleasant palm grip. The special shape of the mouse allows for perfect ergonomics for every hand size, small or large. The mouse is connected to PCs or laptops with a flexible, 1.8-meter-long USB cable. Thanks to Plug & Play functionality the GENTIX 4K can be integrated into existing desktop infrastructure without the installation or setup of custom drivers.

The CHERRY GENTIX 4K is now available at a suggested retail price of €14.99

Actually, I like how it looks and what it offers for that price.
+ I can bet that it will work for years to come, unlike trash such as R@z3r.

From that shape I presume it is either quite small or it will induce Carpal Tunnel problems.
Other than that, design looks rather clean and price point is nice.

i personally had mice up to 8400 dpi gskil mx 780 , really i never went over 1200 dpi was too fast to be useful for me , side buttons my mx 780 and my old beloved gm strom reaper had a 3rd one that even if i bind it it always was too far to remember so i always end up just using 2 side buttons ....so with this and that this one for 15 bucks looks like a solid mouse !

Carpal tunnel and similar repetitive strain injuries are more from being bent at a strange angle which that mouse shouldn't do. What does it for me (causes immediate strain in under 5 minutes) is something like the Razer Basilisk. You'd think that something that's a knockoff of the G502 would be comfortable. Leave it to Razer to manage to screw even that up.

I'll get one with silent switches.I already have previous versions of the Gentix with silent switches and it's a good mouse. Not the best, but reliable.
