Elo Shapes reveals a speedy gaming mouse from a fresh new brand that weighs even less than the competition
Gaming mouse fiends like me have gotta love Elo Shapes—if not for its handy-dandy hardware comparison tools, then for the heads up on a new challenger entering the arena.
The EloShapes X account recently shone its spotlight on the Oyrein Pong Zero, and it's not hard to see why. Apparently the initial offering of a new brand, the Pong Zero is a super lightweight gaming mouse with a Pixart PAW3950 sensor under the hood, and Omron Optical switches.
I'm sure the competitive crowd won't shrug their shoulders at another gaming mouse to put to the test—especially as this one weighs only 37 grams according to EloShapes. That's practically bantamweight as these things go, with our current pick for the best competitive gaming mouse, the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike, weighing much closer to 60 grams.

On the subject of chickens, it never ends well to count yours before they've hatched—and by that I mean there currently isn't much information about when the Oyrein Pong Zero will be released, or how much it will cost.
Both the highly customisable Orbital Pathfinder, and the Be Quiet! Dark Perk Ergo features the same super precise Pixart PAW3950 sensor and satisfying Omron switches. That could give us a ballpark price point in the region of somewhere between $110-190—though I admit, that's a pretty big park.
Still, both of those aforementioned mice enjoy an 8,000 Hz polling rate, a max speed of 750 IPS, and DPI of 30,000 or more. Based on these gaming mices' shared features, that suggests the Oyrein Pong Zero may be a speedy mouse you won't want to lose track of. I'll certainly be keeping my eyes peeled—especially if it comes in more colours like that fetching minty matcha green. Surely, Oyrien is already considering a lilac colourway, right?
