EPOMAKER has officially launched the CarbonX tri-mode lightweight gaming mouse, expanding its range of peripherals with a focus on performance and portability. Released on September 15, the CarbonX aims to balance durability, speed, and modern connectivity options while maintaining an ultra-lightweight design.
The CarbonX makes use of a carbon fiber composite material for its shell, a construction choice that reduces weight without sacrificing strength. Both the base and top cover feature a hollow design, keeping the overall weight to just 50 grams. This makes the CarbonX one of the lighter gaming mice available on the market, appealing to players who prefer fast movements and low resistance during extended sessions.
At the core of CarbonX is the PixArt PAW3950 sensor, known for high precision and consistent tracking. The mouse supports up to 3000 CPI (DPI) resolution, a 750 inches-per-second (IPS) tracking speed, and acceleration of 50G. These specifications ensure accuracy across a range of gaming genres, from fast-paced shooters to strategy titles.
The CarbonX also offers a polling rate of up to 8000 Hz when connected via USB-C or 2.4 GHz wireless, enabling near-instant responsiveness. EPOMAKER lists latency at 0.35 milliseconds in wired mode and 0.4 milliseconds when using 2.4 GHz wireless, keeping input delay to a minimum.
For long-term reliability, the CarbonX integrates Omron optical microswitches rated for 100 million clicks. The switches are paired with a Nordic MCU controller, ensuring stable performance across different workloads. This combination provides consistent actuation, a factor valued by competitive players who rely on dependable input during extended use.
The CarbonX supports three connection methods: USB-C wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth. This tri-mode functionality allows the mouse to adapt to different setups, whether connected directly to a gaming desktop, paired with a laptop, or used in a wireless configuration.
The built-in 300 mAh battery is designed to power the device during wireless use. While exact runtime may vary depending on the polling rate and connection method, the inclusion of USB-C fast charging helps minimize downtime.
Unlike many gaming mice that require software installation, the CarbonX introduces a web-based driver system. Through this, users can configure settings, adjust sensitivity, and customize performance without downloading additional programs. This approach reduces system resource use and provides cross-device compatibility.
The EPOMAKER CarbonX tri-mode lightweight gaming mouse is available now at a retail price of USD 79.99. With its lightweight construction, carbon fiber shell, precision sensor, and flexible connectivity options, the CarbonX is positioned as a competitive option in the gaming mouse market.
