MelGeek Enters Gaming Mouse Market with Horus Featuring PAW3950 Sensor and True 8000Hz Wireless Polling

MelGeek has officially entered the gaming mouse market with the Horus Lightweight Esports Gaming Mouse, signaling a technically focused expansion following the brand's recent innovations in mechanical keyboard design. Weighing approximately 49 grams, the mouse maintains structural rigidity without aggressive shell perforation. Its internal layout is tuned to a 50:50 balanced weight distribution, helping preserve sensor alignment during rapid hand movements. With Horus, MelGeek translates its recent experience in high-integration keyboard hardware into a performance-driven mouse design, marking a deliberate and technically grounded entry into the competitive gaming mouse segment.

Previously, MelGeek gained industry attention by introducing the world's first transparent keyboard MOJO, followed by the launch of Centauri in late November 2025—a flagship magnetic-switch keyboard that integrates an Apple Watch-class OLED display directly into a gaming keyboard, an uncommon hardware implementation that demonstrated the company's willingness to push peripheral design boundaries. This background in innovative peripheral design provides context for the technical ambitions behind the Horus mouse.

At the heart of Horus is the PixArt PAW3950 flagship optical sensor, designed for competitive-grade tracking accuracy. The sensor operates at a 20,000 FPS scan rate, capturing up to 2,000 surface images per second, enabling consistent tracking during high-speed flicks and micro-adjustments. The sensor is paired with the Nordic NRF54L flagship MCU, manufactured on an advanced 22 nm process, delivering higher processing throughput and improved energy efficiency. This controller manages the high-frequency data pipeline required for extreme polling rates.

Horus supports a true 8000 Hz polling rate in both wired and wireless modes, enabled by MelGeek's proprietary NullSync wireless technology. Unlike conventional wireless implementations that downscale polling under interference, NullSync prioritizes consistent transmission intervals, achieving measured latency as low as 0.20 ms wireless and 0.25 ms wired under controlled testing. This implementation matters because it addresses a persistent challenge in wireless gaming peripherals where performance consistency can degrade in real-world conditions with interference.

The combination of the PAW3950 sensor with true 8000Hz wireless polling represents a significant technical achievement in the gaming mouse market, where wireless performance parity with wired connections has been an ongoing industry challenge.

The mouse's balanced 50:50 weight distribution and 49-gram weight without aggressive perforation also represent a thoughtful approach to lightweight design that maintains structural integrity, which is important for competitive gamers who require both low weight and durability during intense gaming sessions.
