G‑Wolves' newest HTX Ultra trims weight to 32 g, shedding 11 g from last year's HTX 4K while keeping the open‑bottom chassis and ambidextrous layout. The mouse packs PixArt’s PAW3950 sensor with a 30,000 CPI ceiling, and a Nordic nRF54L15 MCU that extends wireless endurance. Users can switch between wired and Bluetooth without sacrificing performance, thanks to a secondary high‑speed MCU that drives polling up to 8,000 Hz.

Custom Huano SPDT switches, rated for 80 million clicks, feature an orange transparent shell and employ an SR‑latch mechanism that registers a click on the top contact, shaving latency compared with conventional designs. The mouse ships with pure PTFE feet and multiple replacement pads, and configuration is handled via a web‑based driver. Retailing for $139, the HTX Ultra arrives in ten colorways, from classic black to Emerald Green and Rose Tint.

At a sub‑$150 price point, the HTX Ultra competes directly with premium esports mice that often exceed $200, offering high polling rates and a lightweight build without compromising durability. For competitive players seeking sub‑millisecond response, the SR‑latch switches and 8 kHz polling deliver tangible advantage, while the extensive color selection appeals to streamers and aesthetic‑focused users alike. G‑Wolves positions the Ultra as a value‑driven alternative in a crowded market.
