ASUS has a new wireless mouse on the block, and it's as customizable as it is antibacterial.
The popular Taiwanese tech giant has recently revealed its latest wireless mouse, the ASUS SmartO Mouse MD200, to the world, along with its many features that focus on user experience, convenience, and performance.
The company has yet to disclose when its newest mouse will hit physical and digital store shelves.
ASUS SmartO Mouse MD200 Features And Specifications
Asus mentioned in its announcement that the SmartO Mouse MD200 is an ergonomic wireless mouse that features "accurate, lag-free responses," "convenient multitasking," and various customization options that users can choose from.
Let's start with the mouse's capabilities. The mouse has a 42000 dpi optical sensor that allows its user to use it on any surface, even on surfaces made of glass. However, interested customers should note that the MD200 will only work on glass surfaces at least four millimeters thick.
Despite that requirement, the MD200 can provide high-precision tracking through RF 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth 5.0 connections. With this adaptive connection option and high-precision dpi, MD 200 users can look forward to an "accurate, lag-free response" on any surface and device with Bluetooth or RF frequency connectors.
Additionally, the M200's 100% PTFE mouse feet provide the mouse's user with a "smooth, effortless glide," though the company didn't mention how smooth the mouse's glide can be on rough and uneven surfaces.
As for the mouse's longevity, ASUS rated the switches used in the MD200 to up to 10 million clicks, which is allegedly thrice the usual lifespan of a traditional office mouse.
The mouse also comes equipped with integrated power-saving technology that can extend a double-A battery for up to a year. However, a battery's life can vary based on user habits and "computing conditions."
To allow users to monitor the mouse's battery life, ASUS added its Armoury Crate software to the mouse, which shows users how long the battery can continue powering the mouse before replacing it.
As for the mouse's customization option, the MD200 has six buttons that users can program to do various quick actions. When properly programmed, a user can take a screenshot, access additional keyboard functions, and quickly return to their computers' desktop with a press of a button.
The function of these buttons can be assigned and changed at will through the Armoury Crate.
Last but not least is the MD200's design, which features an ergonomic feel and a thumb rest for the user's comfort. It even has a concealable carrying loop that provides users with a quick way of carrying the mouse from place to place.
The loop can also be used to hang the mouse on a hook when not in use, reducing desk clutter.
The most interesting of the MD200's features is the Antibacterial Guard protective coat ASUS added to the device, which passed the ISO 22196 international standard and was certified by the Society of Industrial Technology for Antimicrobial Articles.
This protective coat prevents the mouse from becoming a bacteria haven as it inhibits the growth of bacteria while simultaneously killing them, per Microchem Lab.
ASUS didn't mention if the protective coat would last for long periods or not.
ASUS SmartO Mouse MD200 Release Date And Availability
ASUS has yet to reveal when the MD200 will be available for pre-order or sale, nor has it said where it would become available. However, it could share this info anytime soon.
As such, we here at iTechPost will keep you posted when these new mice will be available on the market.
