As with most modern gaming mice, you can setup DPI presets to cycle between at the touch of a button.

In terms of more traditional mouse features, the Zephyr has a "Pixart 3389" sensor, capable of "over 400 IPS." Apparently, the device also has a maximum DPI of 16,000, and Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks. It's not clear whether the risk of liquid damage will go up as a result of this unique shell, but we imagine Zephyr has considered that possibility already. To help facilitate airflow and balance the mouse's weight, the Zephyr has a "geometric shell" with dozens of small holes cut out. In reality, it just contains an RGB fan, which can cycle between three fan speeds or be turned off entirely. With that said, "cooling system" might be a bit of a generous description of the mouse's capabilities. The gadget, also called the Zephyr, aims to eliminate "sweaty palms" during intense gaming sessions. Indeed, the company's first product - a gaming mouse with its own built-in cooling system - is launching on Kickstarter come July 22. That could easily be the result of an "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" mindset among mice manufacturers, but one company, "Zephyr," isn't content to leave well enough alone when it comes to conventional mouse design. However, despite these differences, few mice shake up the established norm much - they all tend to have the same basic feature set. In context: Gaming mice come in all shapes and sizes, with differing software suites, button counts, and price tags.
