I’m so proud that you all can finally see a mouse with the shape I worked so hard on. Every vertex was placed with love, I really poured my heart and soul into this for you guys. Unprecedented care was used as I knew any imperfection would be felt by the hands of thousands.
Introducing the Starlight X. Available to order May 30th $179 💫 The SLX features our first new shape in 11 years. More stability. More control. A shape built for games like Counter Strike. TMR-DS ™ . Our all new TMR Dual-State analog click system. With actuation control in increments as small as .01mm. And rapid trigger capable. TMR-DS reads the moment your finger commits to the click, reducing click latency by up to 35ms compared to other mice. No added weight you can feel. Just .24 grams for the entire system. All new construction and material results in our lowest density mouse ever. (And our strongest). Weighing only 38 grams. Developed with aerospace vendors, our new carbon fiber super-composite combines remarkable stiffness with a density of less than .9g per cubic cm. That means it can float on water. A wireless system built to perform at the highest level with groundbreaking new technologies; PerfectPolling ™, PerfectSync, the Nordic nRF54LM20. Achieving an XLAT verified end to end latency of 223us. A new custom sensor built exclusively for the SLX. The Finalmouse F1. A new chassis design utilizing; graphite coated titanium screws, a unibody maincage, carbon fiber beaming, and shell openings strategically placed to avoid hand contact. 💫 finalmouse.com

Replying to @ZhnoyMnK
I can hopefully explain a little bit of that. Say you're a small-medium sized brand. Lets assume the mouse itself costs $40 to produce. If it's an original shape, you also have to pay for your own mold and testing the shape over and over again. This alone costs in the tens of thousand of dollars. Then we have to factor in shipping costs to get it to your global warehouses. Then you have to pay import duties. Then you have to pay your warehouse workers for fulfillment, including shipping boxes, storage etc. You have to pay for 3d renders. Assets. Edited videos. Website. Socials. Review units. Refunds/returns. Shopify fees, PayPal fees. Chargebacks. These add up to tens of thousands of dollars. Then you have to pay the people that work for you a salary. Then you have to pay yourself and any other owners a salary. Then you have to pay taxes for your company. Then you still have to turn a profit, otherwise you can't even fund the next production(s) you have in the pipeline, where lots of money can be tied up for months or even years. A product that costs $40 to produce might be closer to $80 if you factor in all those things. I didn't even mention R&D time, firmware development, or sensor tuning, which are massive hidden costs.
