be quiet!, known for premium PC components, is entering the gaming mouse market with the Dark Perk Ergo and Dark Perk Sym. These ultralight wireless mice weigh just 55 grams and target competitive gamers, featuring the high-end PixArt PAW3950 sensor and optical Omron switches. They offer both ergonomic and symmetrical designs, launching February 3.

The move diversifies be quiet!'s portfolio beyond its core cooling and power supply business. CEO Aaron Licht stated the goal is to deliver lightweight mice for high-level competition. This follows a trend of established hardware brands expanding into peripherals, leveraging their engineering reputation to compete with dedicated mouse specialists.

Both models share the same internal architecture, including up to 32,000 DPI and an 8,000 Hz polling rate. Battery life reaches 110 hours at 1,000 Hz. They are fully configurable via be quiet!'s IO Center software or a web-based tool, broadening cross-platform compatibility for users on Windows, iOS, and Linux.
