It’s been a while since we’ve heard about a ROCCAT product, and now the company has released initial details of its Pyra Mobile Wireless Gaming Mouse which has been designed for mobile computing use. The ROCCAT Pyra comes with a huge array of functions giving gamers a “perfect gaming experience”. The company claims the mouse is a world leader in the mobile segment with its 2.4 GHz wireless technology, 1000 Hz polling rate and sensor performance of up to 1600 dpi.
ROCCAT also introduces a world first in the Pyra, technology called the EasyShift[+]. Pressing the EasyShift[+] button causes the number of mouse functions to double. This is similar to using the shift key on a keyboard.
René Korte, CEO of ROCCAT Studios Hamburg said, “The number of powerful laptops is now exploding, and gamers are demanding equipment which meets their high demands. With the Pyra Mobile Gaming Mouse, we’re keeping pace with these developments. The mouse is wireless, but you wouldn’t know it – the Pyra is just as precise and fast as a wired mouse. What’s more, it’s compact, yet despite that it offers an enormous amount of functions in an intelligent way. Nothing else offers more performance per square centimeter!”
The ROCCAT Pyra has 5 mouse buttons, which have dual functionality. Pressing the EasyShift[+] button and a mouse button triggers an alternate function for that mouse button. The mouse can be charged using the USB charging cable so that you don’t have to interrupt a gaming session to swap out dead batteries. When the mouse is running low on power the LED in the core flashes to indicate that it needs charging. The Pyra also features rest and deep-sleep modes to ensure that the batteries last as long as possible.
The ROCCAT Pyra has an ergonomic V-shape designed to fit seamlessly into the palm of your hand. Materials used provide a secure grip. The mouse comes with software which can be used to configure various settings such as sensitivity, speed, dpi, click speed and others. You can store up to 5 profiles, and launch media applications using just the mouse, so you never have to take your hand off the Pyra.
The ROCCAT Pyra Mobile Wireless Gaming Mouse comes in a practical case and is ideal for notebook gamers. It will be available from retailers starting in early April 2010 for a price of 59.99 euros (approx. Rs. 3,750) and will also be available in a wired version for a price of 39.99 euros (approx. Rs. 2,500).
