As a pure object, I'm really impressed with the form of this Pathfinder modular mouse, by startup Orbital Works. Intended to provide the best possible UX for gamers, it's been designed with fanaticism.

Developed from hundreds of hand scans and match analyses, Pathfinder fits your palm like a second skin and can be enhanced with pro-approved shapes until it feels like an extension of yourself.

Defined by Research, Refined by Experts.

Why is shape the most important factor when choosing the ultimate FPS mouse? We spent two years finding the answer, analyzing hundreds of hand scans and studying how gamers grip their mice during competitive matches. Throughout, we kept an open mind, focused on delivering a mouse that provides gamers with the perfect shape.

GRIPS

We identified three groups of finger placement: front, center, and back along the length of the mouse. Some gamers prefer sculpted surfaces for greater control, while others favor flat surfaces for freer movement.

HANDS

We discovered that our mouse must accommodate different widths on both the left and right sides of the palm. To create the ideal mouse length, it must respond to playstyle, not just hand size.

One Small Change of Shape, One Giant Leap in Gameplay

We concluded that the ultimate FPS mouse must be modular, allowing precise adjustments for hand size, play style, and grip preference. Our next objective is to ensure this modularity enhances gameplay in a meaningful way, encouraging gamers to explore until they find their perfect shapes.

Validation

We developed prototypes and tested them with top FPS gamers to determine the ideal level of modularity, focusing on where customizability has the greatest impact while maintaining aesthetic quality and a lightweight design.

Refinement

We worked with top players and aimers to refine each modular shape through over 30 iterations, making sure all 2,500+ configurations will be top-performing and help you discover the Ultimate Mouse

Patent-Pending Mechanism

Our Modular parts are rated for 20,000 cycles. Almost 3 years of changing shapes 20 times a day.

PATHFINDER Core

Lightweight with top-tier specs, designed to be future-proof for even greater customization.

The $189 mouse will only have a production run of 4,000 units, the company says, to ensure quality.
