Swedish gaming peripheral maker QPAD introduced the |5K, the company's first mouse. The QPAD |5K will start shipping on October 20th for 59.92EUR (excl. VAT).
QPAD ®|5K™ features a powerful navigation engine, adapted for high performance laser navigation. It has been specifically designed for high-end professional gamers, and enables extremely high-speed motion detection and high resolution to provide precise tracking capabilities which are required for many of today's most popular gaming applications. QPAD®|5K™'s new laser sensor is ideal for gamers who require precise high-speed tracking on a variety of different surfaces.
"We have been planning to make a mouse for several years now. Until now the optical and laser technology hasn't lived up to QPAD standards. With this mouse we are setting a new standard for gaming mice. Just as with our headset this is a product which fits right into the premium segment of the market. I really enjoy playing with the QPAD ®|5K™, it works with the extreme high speed movments that used to be a huge problem for laser mice. QPAD ®|5K™ delivers a micro precision never seen before, and our 5 finger ergonomic shape is fantastic. The design of the mouse is shaped to fit a 5 finger grip and by doing this we make sure that you have as little friction as possible." - Says QPAD founder, Christer Körnbäck
