Heijue is gearing up to launch the AJ159 APEX, a three-mode gaming mouse featuring their customized PAW3950 APEX sensor. This sensor boasts interpolation and overclocking capabilities, reaching a staggering 42,000 DPI (it’s unclear if other specifications differ from the standard PAW3950).
The AJ159 APEX offers both wired and
wireless connectivity, with the wireless option supporting an impressive 8000Hz
polling rate. A 400mAh battery keeps the mouse powered, while a color screen
charging base provides a unique touch. This base can display animations and
allows for quick parameter adjustments.
The design appears to deviate from
previous models based on leaked promotional images. The AJ159 APEX features a
distinct mold with a hollow scroll wheel and two left buttons.
While a high DPI (dots per inch)
translates to faster cursor movement on screen, exceeding a certain threshold
may not be beneficial for gaming. Extremely high DPI settings can lead to pixel
skipping, where the cursor jumps between pixels instead of moving smoothly.
This lack of precision can hinder performance in fast-paced games where
pinpoint accuracy is crucial. However, the 8000Hz polling rate can be a
significant advantage. It ensures near-instantaneous communication between the
mouse and computer, potentially reducing input lag for a more responsive gaming
experience.
