Epomaker is no stranger to carbon fiber gaming mice, having previously launched the CarbonX gaming mouse, which used a lattice frame shell to reduce weight. The latest carbon fiber mouse from Epomaker is the Carbonis, and although it hasn’t been fully revealed just yet, Epomaker has made early bird reservations available, charging prospective buyers a $1 non-refundable fee in exchange for a reservation and $15 discount when the mouse eventually launches later in January. No pricing is available just yet, but if it falls under around $70-80, it might be a competitive affordable alternative to flagship gaming mice, depending on the execution.
What we do know from the existing product page for the Carbonis mouse is that it will have a solid carbon fiber shell, and it will be a right-handed ergo shape, somewhat reminiscent of the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro we reviewed prior. It will also be powered by the PixArt PAW 3950 sensor and the Nordic N54L MCU, and it will have an 8 kHz polling rate. It will also feature an online driver, instead of a Windows-only driver that needs to be installed. It will also have a small LCD on the top, likely used to display polling rate, battery level, and DPI settings, similarly to the Chilkey Glacier L W. Weight figures have not yet been announced, but it would be surprising to see a “lightweight” carbon fiber mouse launch at much over 60 g at most. The Carbonis will be available in a purple gradient colorway and a black colorway with the raw forged carbon fiber pattern visible on the surface. Both colorways have a gold scroll wheel, and no switches or encoder specs have been revealed.
