Key Features

  • The Dark Perk Sym gaming mouse is super lightweight at only 55g, making it the ideal extension of your hand. It is easy to control and lets you get perfect flick aim. The Dark Perk Sym will allow you to excel at your game for hours on end, with minimum fatigue.
  • No need to replace AA batteries! The built-in battery lasts up to 110 hours at 1,000 Hz polling rate (or 1 ms response time). For such a long battery life in a lightweight gaming mouse, a high-capacity battery is not enough. The carefully selected Nordic Semiconductor nRF54H20 MCU and PixArt sensor, combined with balanced firmware development result in the perfect blend of performance and battery life. You do not even need to interrupt your gaming session while recharging, you can use the Dark Perk Sym with a braided 1.8m USB-A-to-C cable as well.
  • The PixArt PAW3950 is widely considered the best mouse sensor in the world. For the Dark Perk Sym , only the best was good enough. With a resolution of up to 32,000 DPI, you can fine-tune to incredible levels and enjoy rock-solid and smooth tracking. Plus, with a polling rate of up to 8,000 Hz, in both wireless and wired mode, the response time is lightning-fast.
  • The Optical 70m switches for the left and right mouse buttons are super-fast, responsive, easily spammable, and have a silent sound profile. You can reprogram 5 buttons, so they are tailored exactly to your needs. Create multiple profiles and loadouts for your games in be quiet! IO Center. There is also a switch at the bottom that cycles between 5 customizable DPI levels, and a slider that turns the mouse on or off, to preserve battery life.
  • Its symmetrical shape makes the Dark Perk Sym easy to grip, making it a great fit for all grip styles. 2 buttons are conveniently placed in range of the thumb for right-handed gamers, while south-paws can reach them with their ring finger.
