MSI expands the Versa 300 mouse lineup with 8000Hz variant

MSI has officially released the Versa 300 Wireless 8K, marking the brand's first foray into the 8K polling rate market. This mouse is built on a symmetrical chassis weighing just 66g, designed to balance competitive speed with ergonomic support for various grip styles.

The Versa 300 Wireless 8K mouse is available in both black and white and features the high-end PixArt PAW3395 optical sensor, which provides a maximum sensitivity of 26,000 DPI and a tracking speed of 650 IPS. By using an 8K polling rate, the device reduces input latency to just 0.125ms, providing a significant advantage in fast-paced titles. To ensure long-term durability, MSI has equipped the primary buttons with Omron switches rated for over 60 million clicks.

Connectivity is handled through a tri-mode system, allowing users to switch between the low-latency MSI Swiftspeed 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, or a traditional USB-C wired connection. As for the battery life, it remains a strong point for the series, with the 8K model delivering up to 196 hours of playtime on a single charge when the RGB lighting is disabled.

The physical design includes anti-slip diamond-patterned side grips to maintain control during movement. For software customisation, MSI has introduced Portal X. This browser-based interface lets users adjust lighting effects and button mappings directly in a web browser, without installing a full software suite. Traditionalists can still use the MSI Center software if they so wish.

KitGuru says: It's nice to see the move toward browser-based configuration tools like the Portal X. Do you think we're finally seeing the end of bloated desktop software for gaming peripherals?
