MelGeek has officially entered the gaming mouse market with the Horus Lightweight Esports Gaming Mouse, marking a technically focused expansion following the brand's recent innovations in mechanical keyboard design. Weighing approximately 49 grams, the mouse maintains structural rigidity without aggressive shell perforation. Its internal layout is tuned to a 50:50 balanced weight distribution, helping preserve sensor alignment during rapid hand movements.
With Horus, MelGeek translates its recent experience in high-integration keyboard hardware into a performance-driven mouse design, marking a deliberate and technically grounded entry into the competitive gaming mouse segment. Previously, MelGeek gained industry attention by introducing the world's first transparent keyboard MOJO, followed by the launch of Centauri in late November 2025—a flagship magnetic-switch keyboard that integrates an Apple Watch-class OLED display directly into a gaming keyboard, an uncommon hardware implementation that demonstrated the company's willingness to push peripheral design boundaries.
At the heart of Horus is the PixArt PAW3950 flagship optical sensor, designed for competitive-grade tracking accuracy. The sensor operates at a 20,000 FPS scan rate, capturing up to 2,000 surface images per second, enabling consistent tracking during high-speed flicks and micro-adjustments. The sensor is paired with the Nordic NRF54L flagship MCU, manufactured on an advanced 22 nm process, delivering higher processing throughput and improved energy efficiency. This controller manages the high-frequency data pipeline required for extreme polling rates.
Horus supports a true 8000 Hz polling rate in both wired and wireless modes, enabled by MelGeek's proprietary NullSync wireless technology. Unlike conventional wireless implementations that downscale polling under interference, NullSync prioritizes consistent transmission intervals, achieving measured latency as low as 0.20 ms wireless and 0.25 ms wired under controlled testing. This technical achievement represents a significant advancement in wireless gaming peripheral performance, potentially raising industry standards for responsiveness and reliability in competitive gaming environments.
The introduction of Horus signals increased competition in the high-performance gaming mouse market, particularly in the lightweight segment where technical specifications directly impact user experience. MelGeek's entry with advanced sensor technology and wireless implementation challenges established manufacturers to match these specifications. For consumers, this development means access to more technically sophisticated options, potentially driving innovation across the entire gaming peripheral industry as companies respond to new benchmarks in polling rates, sensor accuracy, and wireless performance.
