ATK has introduced the A9 Air, a lightweight wireless gaming mouse built around flagship-grade components while targeting the mid-range market. The mouse is built on the ATK Shark MAX platform, measures 125 × 63.5 × 40 mm making it suitable for medium to large hands and weighs just 47 g. It is built around a PAW3950 Ultra sensor, offering up to 30,000 DPI, 750 IPS tracking rate, and 50 G acceleration. Paired with a Nordic 54L15 controller, the mouse is capable of reaching polling rates of up to 8,000 Hz. It uses ATK SwiftLight optical switches with 0.181 ms latency. The A9 Air supports wired USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless modes. ATK also included the new GEM 8K receiver for stable high-speed polling and bidirectional 8-track transmission in noisy RF environments. Additional hardware includes a TTC Gold scroll wheel, several sets of interchangeable Teflon-based mouse feet, and a 300 mAh battery rated for up to 300 hours at 1000 Hz.
The A9 Air edition is almost identical to ATK's A9 Ultra Max 2.0 and A9 Ultimate mice, with those two having a larger 800 mAh battery and a weight of 53 g. Thus, it is safe to say that the weight reduction in A9 Air (47 g) comes most likely from its smaller battery (300 mAh vs 800 mAh). The ATK A9 Air gaming mouse is available in four colors: black, white, midnight white, and phantom orange, for $79.98 on the company's official store.
