Zephyr Mouse has an active fan that can run up to 10k RPM to prevent sweaty palms

I tell you, things keep getting more insane sometimes. Face it, pretty much everything and anything has been invented for mice already. So meet Zephyr, a mouse with active fan cooling, you know to keep them palms less sweaty.

You'll notice in the screenshot that the fan is located under the palm casing that is profoundly vented. Now here's the thing, tiny fans can make a lot of noise, especially at high-RPM, and thus bad boy can be configured from 4,000 even towards 10,000RPM (!). Yeah, at that setting the mouse can probably levitate as well; which could be a fun feature if I am being honest ;).

Outside of its fan, it's yet another mouse gamer, with OMRON switches rated for 50 million clicks, a PixArt PMW 3389 sensor with a DPI range of 100 to 16,000, a button to select one of its five software-configurable DPI profiles ( By default they are 800, 1,600, 3,200, 6,400, and 16,000 DPI), an asymmetrical design (even though its buttons are on the right side), and of course in lots of RGB.

The Zephyr will go through a fundraising stage on Kickstarter that will begin on July 22, where it can be backed at $79.99.

Where air is able to come out, a lot more dirt is able to get in to the mouse. Hard pass.

Eh just put the fan under it make it go bat-mode.

Suppose that leaves some other issues to resolve like the optics and what not ha ha.

EDIT: Would also work with resolving sweaty palms even in this mode, just use the thing like a air dryer. :p
(Blasting hot air through it might have additional problems to be resolved in a revised model down the line. ~ )

Have not they heard of gyroscopic effect? And fan is not even put flat to minimize negative effect to axes around which mouse generally moves.
This angle gives pretty bad control.

I want a mouse similar to the Logitech G9 Laser that has micro rumble motors like what is in the Xbox One S controller that can activate when playing video games, like shooting a gun in a game.

That to me would be a cool mouse, this Zephyr mouse on the other hand..... is just stupid.
