At 2.40 ounces, it’s comparable to other honeycomb mice, like the Glorious Model D (2.40 ounces), Glorious Model O Minus (2.08 ounces) and HK Gaming Mira-M (2.22 ounce).īut the Zephyr is more daring with cutouts. Popular among FPS gamers and anyone else seeking a lightweight mouse, the Zephyr has a honeycomb shell that helps keep the weight low.

Mindshunter made a bold move by incorporating a fan inside the Zephyr, and its outer aesthetic is just as bold. It’s like that soulless, incessant buzzing you associate with fluorescent lighting in an old, neglected office. But the most annoying part of the noise, the buzzing, was still prevalent. Interestingly, this was particularly noticeable by the left and right click buttons.Īt the lower fan setting, noise was cut by about half. Not cold like a piece of metal, but cooler than a gaming mouse that’s been on for a while or has RGB LEDs usually is during use. Ultimately, it seems the fan just provided a slightly cooler sensation across the mouse’s chassis. Naturally, this was less prominent with a claw grip. If I paid attention closely, I could feel a gentle breeze on my palm. The fan doesn’t blow hard enough to make a strand of hair move. With a claw grip, I could feel a gentle breeze, particularly on my fingers.īut isn’t the fan on the palm rest, you ask? It is, but holding the Zephyr is not like holding a face fan near your palm. With RGB lighting on (there was no way to turn it off on my sample), mice can sometimes get hot. It took about a minute before I felt the fan’s benefits. It wasn’t so intense that I could see the mouse moving or for it to irritate my skin, but it was distracting. With that much air cooling, I couldn’t just hear a lot of movement, I could also feel the mouse gently vibrating in my hand. To really see what the Zephyr could do, I usually opted for the max fan setting. 'We’ll adjust the fan and make sure we reduce the noise keep it smooth and silent.

'The reason why the noise is a bit loud is due to the current model of the fan it’s not perfectly finished debugging yet,' a Mindshunter spokesperson told Tom's Hardware. Mindshunter claims the maximum noise level is below 25dB and that it will get it quieter with the final product.
