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.

Well, I move cursor from one side of screen to another at distance of 2.5'' on mouse pad. Not that different.
But problem with such small mouse pad like on image is different, it is that you do not always have hand/mouse in middle of pad. Put pencils to the left and right from your mouse to simulate given area. Then imagine hard stop moment you touch them. I am sure, it would go to trash 2nd time I hit keyboard or slid from this pad even by few millimeters.
I'm 6'5". I realize it's just a matter of preference, but there's plenty of room on that pad. I could also be that as a guitarist, fine movements seem more natural. 5000 DPI on the mouse, desktop is set in the middle for the mouse and no acceleration. In games it varies as you know. Some require almost zero in the game settings while others are okay at 2 or 3 on scale of 10. I also have a sniper thumb button at 400 DPI... :p

Im 6'8" dude, size UK17 shoe, ever since I was 18 I have never found any gloves that fit me. I had to spend near £600 a proper chair for my height and weight. Trust me I need the room for my mouse.
Also sniper buttons are cheating
