The gaming mouse landscape just got a sleeker, more portable option. Angry Miao, known for pushing boundaries in mechanical keyboards, has introduced the AM Infinity .97—a refined take on its original Infinity design. This isn’t just a smaller version; it’s a reimagined experience tailored for gamers who prioritize both performance and comfort without sacrificing weight or precision.
Weighing in at 47 grams, the .97 is a 3% reduction from its predecessor, making it one of the lightest wireless mice on the market. That’s not just about shedding ounces; it’s about balancing ergonomics with performance. The design team behind Angry Miao polled gamers to find the sweet spot for smaller hands—those measuring between 17.5 and 18.5 cm in length—where comfort meets control. The result is a mouse that feels lighter, especially when used wirelessly (which trims another 10 grams), without compromising on build quality.
The .97 retains the signature magnesium alloy shell of its predecessor, but with subtle refinements. Gone are the honeycomb sides in favor of solid panels, adding stability for palm and claw grip users. A transparent plastic panel now covers the rear hole, a detail that might seem minor but offers better support during intense gaming sessions. Under the hood, it keeps the PixArt 3950 sensor, known for its accuracy, paired with TTC Optical Micro switches—reliable components that ensure smooth performance at high polling rates.
Performance-wise, the .97 doesn’t skimp. It supports wireless operation at both 1000 Hz and 8000 Hz polling rates, delivering battery life of up to 43 hours at 1000 Hz or 17 hours at 8000 Hz when paired with its 340 mAh hot-swap battery. That ‘infinite battery life’ claim isn’t just marketing; it’s a feature that sets Angry Miao apart in a market where battery life often takes a backseat to speed.
For gamers who love the Razer Viper V3 Pro shape but find it too bulky, this is a compelling alternative. It’s not about replacing the original Infinity mouse; it’s about offering another choice for those who prefer a more compact, lighter form factor without sacrificing performance or build quality.
Availability is set for February 26 via Kickstarter, with pricing expected to align closely with the original AM Infinity mouse, which starts at $129. If you’re in the market for a wireless gaming mouse that blends precision, comfort, and cutting-edge design, this one’s worth watching.
