This release follows the one we discussed previously about MSI FORGE K210 Wireless Combo uses. That gave us an idea of the peripheral ecosystem of the brand.
MSI FORGE GM340 WIRELESS gaming mouse is now available in the Chinese market at a price of 159 CNY or around $23.83. This is a low price option for anyone looking for a wireless gaming mouse. With the latest launch, MSI has clearly extended its low budget FORGE series.
Twenty three dollars is hard to beat. I need something light for my old hand.
The article says tri mode but does not list the dongle specs. Is it 2.4ghz or bluetooth only?
Tri mode usually implies 2.4ghz wireless, wired usb, and bluetooth. The 1khz polling rate confirms the 2.4ghz radio is present and active for low latency.
sky blue is cute tbh but i worry about the switch lifespan at this price.
At least it is not another overpriced mouse. My ram bill is high enough without spending $50 on a peripheral.
82 hours on PAW3311 sounds optimistic. I would expect closer to 60 with the 1khz polling running constantly.
Will the drivers work on Linux or is it plug and play with standard hid profiles?
Lightweight mice are the only way to go now. 57g is a solid middle ground.
