Xiaomi has released more details about its upcoming Gaming Mouse 2. Last week, the company teased the new PC peripheral, and a recent post on Weibo finally outlines the core specifications. The main takeaway is that Xiaomi is using a custom PixArt sensor, which suggests the company is trying to make a more serious entry into the PC gaming accessory market rather than just releasing a basic budget option.
The mouse is built around a custom PixArt PAW3955XM sensor. PixArt makes the sensors for most major gaming mice, and this particular version comes with some high specifications. It supports a maximum sensitivity of 40,000 DPI. While nobody actually plays games at 40,000 DPI, a high maximum sensitivity usually means the sensor will track accurately and consistently at the lower settings most people actually use.
Along with the high DPI, the mouse has a maximum tracking speed of 750 IPS (inches per second) and up to 60G of acceleration. In everyday use, this just means the mouse can keep up with fast physical movements.
Xiaomi also noted a maximum static frame rate of over 20,000 FPS and a 1 percent DPI precision rate, which includes a 1-to-1 factory calibration. According to the company, this setup is intended to prevent cursor drift and frame drops during both small micro-adjustments and larger movements.
Looking at the promotional images, the design is fairly standard. It has a symmetrical shape, but it includes two side buttons on the left edge, making it best suited for right-handed users. Xiaomi is marketing it as an esports mouse, pointing to the sensor, internal controller, and factory tuning as proof of its competitive focus.
Of course, a spec sheet doesn’t tell the whole story. The shape, weight, and overall feel are usually what make or break a gaming mouse. Xiaomi hasn’t shared the weight, battery life, wireless polling rate, or price yet. The company usually prices its devices lower than traditional gaming competitors like Logitech or Razer, but we won’t know how it actually compares until it officially launches.
