Counter-Strike legend and Team Vitality star, Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut, has announced a specially designed mouse.
Titled ‘The Chosen Mouse’, the peripheral was designed in collaboration with ZywOo to fit the style of the legendary player.
Produced by Pulsar Gaming Gears, the mouse will be available on Wednesday, June 11th for €149.90 (~£126.21).
ZywOo’s The Chosen Mouse
ZywOo and Pulsar Gaming Gears justify the high price tag with extra features specially designed for the Counter-Strike star.
As stated by ZywOo in the promotional video, one key aspect of the mouse’s design is comfort.
The Chosen Mouse features an ergonomic shape optimised for palm grip users, which is ZywOo’s signature style, therefore allowing for enhanced control and comfort during long competitive sessions.
At the helm of the movement is Pulsar’s proprietary XS-1 sensor, which boasts 32,000 DPI resolution, 750 IPS tracking speed, and 50g acceleration.
Relaying the information is the 8K wireless dongle, which supposedly supports ultra-high polling for instant response and zero-lag precision, according to Pulsar.
Other features include:
- Huano Blue Shell Pinkdot v2
- Fully customizable sensor setting
- Fully customizable keys and macros
- Adjustable DPI in 10-unit increments
- Superflex Paracord Cable
- Optional 5.8g weight module
Players can now ‘feel’ like they are ZywOo
ZywOo is a French professional Counter-Strike 2 player, currently playing for Team Vitality.
Known for his prowess on the AWP, he quickly made a name for himself and has since become one of the most recognisable faces in Counter-Strike esports.
Widely considered one of the best players in the world, he has won 18 international titles, a record 26 MVP awards, the 2023 Paris Major, and an ESL Grand Slam Season 5, according to Pulsar Gaming Gears.
The creation of a mouse specifically designed with his preferences in mind gives fans a hands-on opportunity to learn from the best.
ZywOo to rival Faker
The French player joins the club of professional esports players launching their own peripherals.
League of Legends player and T1 midlaner, Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok, also has a special mouse, launched with Razer in 2023.
For the first time ever, two legends of esports will compete against each other.
Just not in-game and probably won’t spark a riot on social media.
The Viper V3 Pro Faker edition boasts an array of proprietary hardware and features to rival The Chosen Mouse.
Faker’s mouse is currently retailing at £179.99, making ZywOo’s equivalent around £54 cheaper.
Team Vitality at the BLAST.tv Austin Major
ZywOo is currently set to compete at the BLAST.tv Austin Major, alongside British star William ‘mezii’ Merriman.
The team will aim to continue their dominant streak after securing the ESL Grand Slam and their most recent victory at IEM Dallas.
Having already secured their place in Stage 3 of the major, ZywOo and mezii are set to debut at the Austin Major on Thursday, June 12th.
Other British talent will also feature at the Austin Major, with the full list of on-air talent announced last month.
