Logitech recently unveiled the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury – the fastest gaming mouse ever made, according to the company – and the local PR agency for Logitech has confirmed it will be here in SA before the end of the year.

The “ultra-fast FPS gaming mouse” features Logitech’s Fusion Engine which tracks movement at over 12 metres per second, as well as Logitech’s Delta Zero sensor for “unrivaled accuracy”.

“We took on the challenge of creating the world’s fastest mouse in service of FPS gamers, and after three years of intensive R&D we are proud to launch a mouse that only Logitech could develop,” the company said.

Logitech promises gamers that the G402 Hyperion Fury will track as fast as they can move, thanks, in part, to an on-board 32-bit ARM processor.

“Using Logitech Gaming Software, you can add a fifth DPI setting and customize the experience to your liking. With DPI shifting, Hyperion Fury can go from 4000 DPI to 240 DPI in the blink of an eye, giving you the flexibility to thrive in the chaos of battle,” said Logitech.

The mouse also features 8 programmable buttons, which can be configured for macros or single keystrokes, and can withstand “20 million clicks” on each button and 250km of tracking.

Pricing and availability have not been announced as yet, but the Hyperion Fury will be in South Africa before the end of 2014.

    I’m not hardcore enough to care about the high DPI. My RAT3 goes high but I keep it low to mid end at all times. In fact anything not wireless with a molded shape will keep me happy. Remembering days of 1.6 with a ball mouse makes me appreciative of our options. This mouse will probably retail for around R800 and if it does, it should be a viable option for the competitive gamers and casuals alike.
