Mouse slogan

In May last year, ice leopard introduced KONE PRO AIR, the first wireless three-mode mouse, which has three connection modes: wired, Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless. Ice leopard KONE PRO AIR adopts lightweight design, and the left and right button areas adopt light-transmitting honeycomb shell, which can realize the lighting between fingers and will not block the lighting when holding the mouse.

After a year, ice leopard launched the second wireless three-mode mouse BURST PRO AIR. Different from KONE PRO AIR, it adopts a left-right symmetrical design, and the whole upper cover adopts a light-transmitting honeycomb shell, which leads to a larger luminous area and more dazzling lighting effect. During the period of June18, after all kinds of full reduction activities, it is estimated that the hand price will be 469 yuan. Let's show you this new flagship mouse of ice leopard.

The product packaging adopts the style of white characters on black background commonly used in ice leopard. The front of the package is the appearance pattern of BURST PRO AIR, the product model is marked in the upper left corner, and the German precision technology manufacturing is marked in the upper right corner. Titan Light Micro motion and ice leopard Stellar wireless technologies are marked in the middle, while product features such as RGB backlight and 100 hour battery life are marked on the side and top, so the product parameters can be understood almost without unpacking.

PhantomFlex ghost line in ice leopard is made of silver-gray braided material, with small diameter, light weight, very soft texture and weak pulling feeling when used. USB to Type-C interface, supporting positive and negative blind insertion.

Ice leopard BURST PRO AIR adopts symmetrical design, and the top cover, side skirt, bottom shell, buttons and foot pads are all absolutely white. The upper cover is slightly darker than the side skirt, because it adopts a light-transmitting honeycomb bionic shell. The surface of the mouse is treated with fine matte finish, which makes it feel delicate and matte, and the roller area has brushed texture.

The front of the mouse uses a straight line, which looks like a flat head, while the head of KONE PRO AIR is more rounded. The side skirt is concave, so it will fit better when the thumb holds it.

The left and right buttons of the mouse are split, and Titan optical switch is used inside. Compared with conventional mechanical micro-motion, it has faster response speed, stronger durability, design life of 1 100 million times, and it is not easy to double-click, but the sound is not so crisp when clicking, but it has better feedback than other optical micro-motions I used before. The surface of the roller is made of rubber with anti-slip texture, and the side is made of light-transmitting material, with moderate damping and clear scale.

The mouse's Type-C interface supports plug-in and plug-out, and can be connected and used in wired mode. It is also a charging interface, which can be used continuously for about 100 hours after being fully charged. The interface is oval, which is consistent with the data line interface. I have seen some mice, and the data cable plug is oval, but the interface on the mouse is really square, which is not strong enough after plugging it in.

The back cover of the mouse also adopts a light-transmitting honeycomb bionic shell with the ice leopard LOGO in the middle. Compared with punching holes, the light-transmitting honeycomb lattice design can also reduce the weight and has advantages in dust and moisture prevention.

The side skirt of the mouse is opaque, and the surface adopts fine honeycomb texture to enhance the anti-skid performance. The position of the side key is relatively high, so when holding the mouse, you can avoid touching it by mistake.

The bottom of the mouse is made of translucent material, which will show the effect of ambient light when the light is lit. A three-mode (wired, Bluetooth 5.2, 2.4G) switch and a configuration file switching button are arranged at the bottom of the mouse, and a storage bin is arranged next to the button to prevent the 2.4G wireless receiver from being lost. Ice leopard's second-generation owl eye owl optical sensor is adopted inside, based on PMW 3370,400 IPS, with tracking speed, 50g acceleration, up to 19000DPI, and adjustable lifting detection distance. Compared with the first generation, the performance is greatly improved. The mouse foot pad adopts PTFE heat treatment process, and the blue protective film is attached at the factory. Seeing that some friends didn't tear it when using it will affect the fluency of the mouse. Manufacturers are advised to print warning slogans on the protective film.

According to the actual measurement, the weight of the mouse is about 8 1g, and if the storage bin is equipped with a 2.4G receiver, the weight is about 83g. Nowadays, light and ultra-light mice are very popular. Personally, if you play FPS shooting games, it will be more appropriate to control the weight of the mouse at 65-85g. If it is too light, you can try padding or thick padding.

The measurement of the mouse is 120mm 58mm 38.7mm, which belongs to the category of medium and small size and is suitable for the hands of most people in China. If your hands are too big, you can try 125mm kone PRO AIR.

My hand is about 175mm, which is too small for men. When I hold it in a prone position, there is still a distance of about 15 mm in front of my fingertips. Because the height of the mouse is relatively short (shorter than KONE PRO AIR 12mm), my palm joint is backward.

Then change to the mouse-catching posture, and there is still a distance of about 20mm in front of the fingertips. The thumb is attached to the side skirt, so it is not easy to touch the side key by mistake. If you hold the mouse in your left hand, it is recommended to turn off the two side keys in the drive.

The tail of the mouse adopts a "big butt" arc design, which is relatively close to the palm when held. When you lift the mouse, you can see that the translucent bottom shell will also glow. In addition, the overall weight of the mouse is balanced, and there is no suffix when holding the mouse in a hand-pinching posture.

ROCCAT SWARM driver software can be downloaded from official website and ice leopard, and updated according to the prompts after downloading. What needs to be reminded here is that when updating, when connecting the mouse cable, remember to insert the 2.4G wireless receiver, so that all items can be updated normally.

ROCCAT SWARM is an integrated driver software. At the top of the software, you can select the peripheral devices and AIMO functions that need to be set. Ice leopard BURST PRO AIR is divided into four parts: settings, button assignment, lighting and advanced settings. In the setting section, the speed of mouse wheel, double-click speed and pointer speed can be set on the left, and the DPI value of mouse can be set on the right. The default values are 400, 800, 1200, 1600 and 3200, and the maximum value can be set to 1900.

In addition, there is a calibration button under the DPI settings, which can calibrate the mouse DPI according to the cushion you are currently using. The above picture shows the calibration process, which gives me a feeling of playing a puzzle game and playing a gun training map in CSGO creative workshop.

In the button allocation section, you can set eight operations such as mouse button and wheel, and you can choose the default basic preset, balance setting, precision setting and media setting. The left and right primary keys are bound with independent functions, and you can also change other keys or set functions such as office, multimedia and game macros. Remember to click the Apply button in the lower right corner of the driver software after setting. Speaking of macros, there is also this part in the driver, which is located at the lower position of the interface, that is, above the configuration document 3 in the above figure, and contains many games such as APEX, BF, CS, GTA, OW, PUBG, COD, LOL and office software macros such as Office and Photoshop.

The lighting part is also called the lighting setting part. Besides setting the moving speed and brightness, it can also set the lighting effects such as AIMO, wave, full light, heartbeat, breathing, flicker, remaining power and so on. Waveform, full brightness, heartbeat, breathing and flicker can also be set separately, as can the left button, right button, scroll wheel and back cover.

In the advanced settings section, you can see the current remaining power of the mouse on the left, turn on or off the energy-saving mode, and encrypt the pairing. On the right, you can set the refresh rate. There are four optional steps, and the default is 1000Hz. You can turn angle occlusion (linear correction) on or off, the distance control unit (LOD height) can be set to low or very low, or you can customize the calibration yourself.

AIMO can be activated in the global settings. AIMO is a lighting linkage effect. For example, RGB light can flow from the keyboard to the mouse, from the mouse to the mouse pad, then from the mouse pad to the earphone, and finally from the earphone back to the keyboard. As you can see, I have finished 70% of Aimo's works, except for a pair of ice leopard headphones. The software supports Talk FK, allowing lights to participate in the game interaction, and can reflect the game content through the changes of surrounding lights, such as current blood volume, magic value and other information. In addition, it also supports AlienFX lighting effect, so now ice leopard is serious about playing with lights.

Ice leopard has seven built-in lighting effects: AIMO, Wave, Full Light, Heartbeat, Breathing, Blinking and Residual Power * * *. The left button, the right button, the scroll wheel and the back cover can be set with RGB colors respectively.

AIMO is the main lighting effect in ice leopard, showing the lighting linkage effect. The changing RGB lights will flow between several peripheral devices, and the lights will also change when the mouse or keyboard is clicked.

This yellow-green-blue gradient is also the classic theme color of ice leopard. If you set the constant light, you can directly select this theme in customization.

If you look closely, you can see the lighting effect of the light-transmitting honeycomb bionic shell, which can not only reduce the weight of the mouse, but also be used as a lampshade to transmit light.

This is the action diagram of AIMO lamp. The RGB color changes gradually between several areas of the mouse, and the brightness also changes alternately between light and dark.

This is the action diagram of wave light, which is a gradual transition in the breathing state of RGB color. Because the luminous area of the mouse is not as large as that of the keyboard, the wave effect is not fully displayed.

At present, my AIMO system consists of ice leopard Vulcan TKL PRO mechanical keyboard, SENSE AIMO quick-control mouse pad and BURST PRO AIR wireless three-mode mouse. If you add a SYN PRO AIR wireless headset, it will be complete.

Ice leopard Vulcan TKL PRO mechanical keyboard, an 87-column keypad, allows me to put a medium-sized mouse pad on my originally small desktop. The small knob of the keyboard is quite practical. Generally speaking, multimedia function is the most lacking of 87 keyboards. If you want to adjust the volume, you must set a shortcut key in the driver. It's not easy without this little handle.

Without turning on the indoor lights, the lighting effect of this set of "light pollution" peripherals will be particularly cool, and the half-height key cap of the keyboard will fully scatter the lights, making the atmosphere stronger. At this time, you can clearly see that the light at the bottom of the mouse is also emitted.

Simply test the mosquito-repellent incense diagram and tic-tac-toe game with MouseTest software. The DPI is set to 1600, which is what I often use. The lines of mosquito-repellent incense diagram are smooth, uniform and coherent, and the sense of sawtooth is not strong. When the opening angle is closed, the horizontal and vertical lines of TIC-tac-toe are not obviously corrected. If you use software to draw pictures, you can turn on the corner biting function, and if you play games, it is recommended to turn it off.

In terms of games, ice leopard Burst PRO AIR was used to try CSGO for a few days. Since the factory, there has been no charging. It adopts 2.4G wireless mode, and its lights are always on, which is the highest in brightness level. At that time, the remaining power was about 90%, and it was used continuously for 7-8 hours every day. During the break, it automatically stands by. After 5 days of use, the driver software shows that there is still about 30% power left, which is acceptable, and it supports fast charging. It can last for 5 hours after charging 10 minute. The weight of ice leopard burst Pro Air 8 1g is just right for me. My DPI is set to 1600, so I don't move much. After playing CSGO for 3-4 hours, my wrist doesn't feel uncomfortable.

The size of 120mm is just right for me as a small hand player. The Titan optical micro-motion inside the mouse, although the sound is not so crisp, but the feedback is ok, not too fleshy. Mouse positioning is also quite accurate, and click response is fast enough. In addition, ice leopard BURST PRO AIR is also compatible with NVIDIA Reflex. When used with GeForce RTX30 series graphics card and NVIDIA G-SYNC monitor, the response time of the mouse can be shortened to 25ms. Let's talk about the mechanical keyboard of ice leopard Vulcan TKL PRO. The linear optical axis of ice leopard is matched with the half-height key cap, which feels good and the big keys don't pull the crotch. If the shaft core can be changed to gray, the side view effect will be better.

Nowadays, major brands are pushing for the lightweight of wireless mouse, which is also the development trend. In recent years, several customized flagship machine engines pay great attention to low power consumption besides performance. Due to the development bottleneck in the field of batteries, it can only be solved by optimizing and reducing power consumption. Coupled with fast charging technology, there is no need to install a battery with excessive capacity, which can further reduce the weight of wireless.

In the past, many small and medium-sized wired mice weighed about100g, but now wireless mice with rechargeable batteries and wireless modules can be controlled within 90g, which is quite good. It shows that these manufacturers do not pursue hardware configuration, and have made great efforts in materials, structure and design. The good news is that in addition to foreign countries, some domestic peripheral manufacturers are also building their own lightweight wireless three-mode mouse, the weight of which can be controlled at around 80g, which is worth encouraging. Only by investing in designing and launching products that everyone likes can we build our reputation. At the end of the article, I will briefly summarize the characteristics of ice leopard BURST PRO AIR mouse before the arrival of 6 18 and give some suggestions for your reference.
