A Mouse as a Professional's Tool

As the entire world watches, professional teams, in close coordination, vie for advantages measured in hundredths of a second on specialized machines, all for high prize money. This excitement is not exclusive to automotive racing.

Are you familiar with the sport known as e-sports (electronic sports)? It's a digital sport where players hone their skills in computer games. The world mentioned above is the realm of professional gamers at the pinnacle of e-sports. The "Pro-Gaming Computer Mouse Level 10 M," created by BMW Group Designworks USA in collaboration with PC peripheral manufacturer Thermaltake, is a model aimed at these professional e-sports gamers. The development involved Kai "Kaii" Schäfer, a professional gamer particularly known for the PC game Counter Strike: Source.



This "Level 10 M" features a design reminiscent of a small racing car, with a plastic top part seemingly floating above an aluminum base. The top part can be adjusted for height and angle to suit user preference. Its design and functionality are accented by perforations that ensure ventilation, preventing grip performance from degrading due to sweat.

It has 11 buttons, all of which are programmable and can have their functions configured via software. A distinctive feature of this mouse is the side button marked with a 'Z,' which allows users to switch between up to five registered mouse settings and also adjust the precision of the laser sensor.

The sensor's resolution is up to 8200 DPI. While it can be changed via software, the standard settings are 800, 1600, 3200, 5000, and 8200 DPI.

The body is available in four colors: Diamond Black, Iron White, Military Green, and Blazing Red. It was released globally on August 27th, priced at 99 US dollars.
