What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWired has reviewed the Wallhack M-001, a wireless gaming mouse with a metal body, and the reviewer says it was the most fun he's had testing a mouse in a long time.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFun is a feature, Hank. Most hardware companies are afraid to put that on the box.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a magnesium mouse, fifty-three point six grams. That's close to Razer's Viper V4 Pro at fifty point three, TechBytes says.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd it has two batteries, two hundred fifty milliamp-hours each, so one charges while you use the other.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA spring pops the spare out like a game cartridge.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo it's a mouse with a battery you eject.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a hot-swappable power experience, and we're thrilled for it.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe official price is one hundred eighty-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents, and it's the company's first gaming mouse.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOne reviewer on X called it solid but expensive.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe also said the clicks feel pingy. Wallhack's response is to send him a second unit to check whether that's intended.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the maker doesn't know if the click is intended. And it's sending a second mouse to find out.
