Noctua is now coming for blood, from your fingers:

This new Noctua gaming mouse stops sweaty hands, thanks to a clever addition

A collaboration between Noctua and Pulsar Gaming Gears has resulted in a new wireless gaming mouse that apparently keeps your hands dry.

That frame looks 3D printed as well as the base don't know? The ergonomics look piss poor and the dirt it will pick up will be epic lol.

What are you talking about? Dirt? That's what compressed air is for. Just point and shoot. Ergonomics are mostly subjective, so how are they "piss poor"? Looks like a million other mice out there designed for those who use a palm grip. It's already a well-reviewed mouse. Pictures from every angle here:

Pulsar Feinmann F01 Review

Being Pulsar's first mouse released under the Feinmann sub-brand, the right-handed ergonomic F01 brings back the original Xlite shape, wrapped into a 46 g magnesium alloy package. Pulsar's latest XS-1 sensor is used alongside Kailh optical main button switches, and 8000 Hz polling is supported...

It's a neat idea even if it doesn't work. No need to overthink mice.

I work in a environment with wood an aluminum dust that thing would not last a week. Heck even in a game room where I think most Sherdoggers spend their lives are eating am playing games or drinks. My PC in my workshop has fine grain dust protection and even that you have to clean it up regularly. You sound like a cool kid look what I got lol.

Mice designs like this are a niche market. Designed for those who use cloth mousepads that want hard surface mousepad friction coefficients.

This mouse by Noctua is in that niche market tailored towards another niche user within it. Those who suffer from sweaty hands caused by their aggressive claw grip.

Introducing a fan in this orientation presents problems. Its a moving part thats exposed to the elements and will generate vibration. Claw grip will restrict airflow intake to the bottom increasing friction coefficients. Fan will be blowing such hand sweat onto the mouse electronics and cloth mousepad.

You're such a blowhard, you think sweaty hands are caused by an "aggressive claw grip", SMH.

Yup. Players ive seen this affect are those who do this. All experience carpal tunnel later on in life.

Its one of those comical quirks about the mice peripheral industry. For when dealing in such lightweight mice the recommended grip style is mostly meaningless.

It's entirely meaningless, you nincompoop, because how somebody grips a mouse is ultimately a subjective, personal choice. That's why if you'd taken the time to read the precise page of the Techpowerup review I linked, for example, you'd have noticed the reviewer thought it suited a claw grip. But you didn't. Because you're a blowhard.

However, what is not subjective is the refutation of your blowhard analysis that "this mouse by Noctua is...tailored towards another niche user within it...who suffer from sweaty hands caused by their aggressive claw grip". First off, it's not even by Noctua, the mouse is a design of Pulsar's, but you didn't take the time to learn this because you were too busy blowing hot air out of your ass. And because of this, second, more importantly, objectively Pulsar wouldn't put "recommended for palm grip" in their official feature list if they had designed it for gamers with an "aggressive claw grip". Derpaderpaderpa.

It's entirely meaningless,

Its not entirely meaningless. For in this peripheral industry floor models dont exist at retail. Reviewers that the customer rely on need a launching point. Why every review goes 'I use X mouse grip but this mouse is made for X mouse grip. Regardless of that i liked it.'.

What a time to be alive that a Radeon GPU is the gaming efficiency king. Now if the 9070 would just get closer to MSRP and AMD could catch Nvidia in upscaling.

Are you talking about the 9060 XT? For what tasks-- what chart are you looking at? Techpowerup evaluates this within the context of gaming FPS, and they still have all the AMD GPUs pretty far down the list:

Gamers Nexus broke it down by three different individual games.

Oh, okay, I was confused by the timing of your comment since the 9070 was reviewed so long ago. So I wondered if maybe this was for the 9060 XT because reviews for that card just dropped.

The preponderance of efficiency charts I've seen still have NVIDIA on top, like those I shared, in particular the laptop variants of the RTX 50 series. It's undeniably closer when you specifically look at the 9070, but that card is just sort of a throttled 9070 XT, when the 5080's clocks aren't gimped at all in relation to other Blackwell cards, so that's what further confused me.
