ATK GEAR has announced the A9 Mini+ Chronicle Edition gaming mouse, a collaboration with professional VALORANT player Chronicle. The new model features a lightweight 39g design, a PAW3955 Master optical sensor, and support for polling rates of up to 8,000Hz over wired and wireless connections. ATK lists the Gaming Mouse at a launch price of $74.98, reduced from its regular listed price of $99.98.
The ATK A9 Mini+ Chronicle Edition uses a black shell with green accents and Chronicle-themed graphics. The design includes green detailing around the scroll wheel and side buttons, along with a graphic pattern on the underside. The collaboration gives the mouse a different appearance from standard A9 Mini+ models while retaining its focus on competitive gaming.
The mouse measures 118.4 × 61.2 × 38.6mm and weighs approximately 39g, according to the supplied product information. Its compact size may suit players who prefer smaller mice for fast movements in competitive shooters. However, the fit will depend on hand size and grip style, particularly for users who prefer a larger mouse.
ATK has equipped the Chronicle Edition with the PAW3955 Master sensor and its custom optical switches. The company also lists the Nordic 54L20 microcontroller and ApexShark MAX firmware among the mouse’s features. Its maximum 8,000Hz polling rate allows it to report movement at intervals of 0.125ms, compared with 1ms at 1,000Hz. The actual benefit depends on system performance, game settings, and the player’s setup, so the higher polling rate will not necessarily produce a noticeable improvement for everyone.
