#Tianxuan 7 Pro Max
Visuals are delivered through a stunning 18-inch display ๐บ boasting a crisp 2560 x 1600 resolution. Competitive gamers will appreciate the blistering 300Hz refresh rate ๐จ and swift 3ms response time. Furthermore, the panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut ๐, peaks at 500 nits of brightness โ๏ธ, and utilizes Nvidia G-Sync technology to eliminate screen tearing. An anti-glare coating ensures optimal visibility even in brightly lit environments ๐ก.
In terms of memory ๐ง , the entry-level configurations feature 16GB of RAM, while higher-tier models boast 32GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600 memory. Every model is equipped with a speedy 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD ๐พ. Fortunately for enthusiasts, the motherboard features dual memory slots alongside dual M.2 slots, ensuring that users can easily upgrade both RAM and storage down the line ๐ ๏ธ.
Asus Tianxuan 7 Pro Max ๐ป
Unsurprisingly for an 18-inch desktop replacement, the Tianxuan 7 Pro Max has a substantial footprint ๐๏ธ. The laptop weighs in at approximately 2.8kg โ๏ธ and maintains a profile 1.89cm thick ๐. Aesthetically, it sports an asymmetrical, mechanical-themed chassis complete with a versatile 180-degree hinge ๐.

Xiaomi Gaming Mouse 2 to feature PixArt PAW3955XM sensor & 40000 DPI ๐
Xiaomi is pulling back the curtain ๐ญ on its upcoming Gaming Mouse 2 ๐ฑ๏ธ. Following a brief teaser last week, the tech giant took to Weibo ๐ฑ to reveal the peripheral’s core specifications. The standout revelation is the inclusion of a custom PixArt sensor ๐ฏ, signaling Xiaomi’s ambition to be a serious contender in the PC gaming accessory space ๐ฎ rather than just offering another basic budget option.
Xiaomi Gaming Mouse 2 โจ
At the heart of the mouse lies a custom PixArt PAW3955XM sensor ๐๏ธ. As the go-to manufacturer for the industry’s top gaming mice, PixArt has equipped this specific model with some truly impressive specs, highlighted by a staggering maximum sensitivity of 40,000 DPI ๐. While no gamer actually plays at 40,000 DPI, such a massive ceiling generally guarantees incredibly accurate and consistent tracking ๐ฏ at the much lower sensitivities standardly used in competitive play ๐.

#Gaming Mouse 2
Complementing that massive DPI, the sensor boasts a maximum tracking speed of 750 IPS (inches per second) โก alongside up to 60G of acceleration ๐. In practical terms, this ensures the mouse will flawlessly translate even the most frantic, lightning-fast physical swipes ๐จ into in-game action without skipping a beat.
Xiaomi Gaming Mouse 2 ๐ฅ
Xiaomi further highlighted a maximum static frame rate exceeding 20,000 FPS ๐ผ๏ธ and a remarkably tight 1 percent DPI precision rate, complete with 1-to-1 factory calibration ๐ ๏ธ. According to the manufacturer, this meticulous engineering is designed to entirely eliminate cursor drift and frame drops ๐, whether you’re making pixel-perfect micro-adjustments or sweeping macro movements ๐.
Based on early promotional images, the physical design takes a relatively safe, familiar approach ๐จ. The chassis features a symmetrical profile but incorporates two side buttons strictly on the left edge, making it functionally tailored for right-handed gamers ๐๏ธ. Xiaomi isn’t shy about marketing this as a true esports mouse, leaning heavily on its advanced sensor, internal controller, and precise factory tuning to validate its competitive pedigree ๐ฅ.
Naturally, raw specifications only paint half the picture ๐ผ๏ธ. In the world of gaming peripherals, ergonomics, weight, and overall in-hand feel are what ultimately determine a mouse’s success โ๏ธ. Xiaomi has yet to disclose crucial details like the device’s exact weight, battery life ๐, wireless polling rate, or pricing ๐ฐ. While the brand historically undercuts established gaming titans like Razer and Logitech, we’ll have to wait for the official launch โณ to see exactly how the Gaming Mouse 2 stacks up against the competition ๐.

LG launches UltraGear 32GX870B gaming monitor with Tandem OLED & 480Hz esports mode ๐๐ฅ
LG is introducing a versatile new dual-mode OLED gaming monitor ๐ฎ to the Japanese market ๐ฏ๐ต. The UltraGear 32GX870B is a 31.5-inch display designed to offer the best of both worlds: a crisp 4K resolution at 240Hz for immersive, visually demanding single-player games ๐, or a blistering 480Hz refresh rate at 1080p for high-stakes competitive shooters ๐ซ. This pragmatic two-in-one approach is quickly becoming a staple in the premium monitor segment ๐ฅ๏ธ.

#LG UltraGear 32GX870B gaming monitor ๐น๏ธ
LG UltraGear 32GX870B Specifications ๐
At the heart of the display is LGโs fourth-generation Tandem OLED technology โจ. Moving away from the three-layer emission structure found in the older 32GX870A model, this updated version adopts a more advanced four-layer Primary RGB design ๐. For everyday users, this architectural shift translates directly into noticeably richer colors and enhanced peak brightness ๐ก.
According to LG, the panel delivers a typical SDR brightness of 335 nits and can reach an impressive peak of 1,500 nits in HDR ๐. It also boasts exceptional color accuracy right out of the box with a Delta E of less than 2, covers 99.5% of the DCI-P3 color gamut ๐จ, and features a striking dynamic contrast ratio of 1,850,000:1. An applied anti-glare coating further ensures that ambient room lighting won’t spoil your viewing experience ๐๏ธ.
The standout feature is undeniably its dual-mode capability, officially backed by VESAโs Dual Mode standard ๐. However, dropping to the 1080p 480Hz mode for esports favorites like Valorant or Counter-Strike 2 on a sprawling 32-inch screen can sometimes overwhelm a player’s field of view ๐.
To solve this, LG has implemented a smart scaling feature that virtually shrinks the active display area to either 27 or 24.5 inches ๐, surrounding the image with deep black borders to replicate standard tournament monitor sizes. When combined with a lightning-fast 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time โก, VESA ClearMR 13000 certification, and full compatibility with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, motion blur is effectively eliminated ๐๏ธ.

On the connectivity front, the UltraGear 32GX870B is exceptionally well-equipped ๐. It features a DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20) input, offering ample bandwidth to drive these massive refresh rates without leaning heavily on display stream compression ๐. The I/O panel is rounded out by two HDMI ports, a two-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub, and a highly convenient USB-C port with 90W of power deliveryโperfect for keeping a laptop charged via a single cable ๐๐ป.
Audio is handled by built-in 7W stereo speakers ๐, complemented by a suite of AI-powered tools designed to optimize sound and upscale visuals ๐ค. Physically, the monitor embraces a sleek, four-side borderless aesthetic. Its versatile stand provides a full suite of ergonomic adjustments, allowing users to tweak the height, tilt, swivel, and even pivot the screen 90 degrees ๐๏ธ.
Pricing and Availability ๐ฐ
The UltraGear 32GX870B will retail for 169,800 yen ($1,081) ๐ด, with Japanese shipments scheduled to commence on June 11th ๐ . While LG hasn’t officially announced a global release date, the company’s historical launch patterns suggest a wider international rollout is highly probable in the coming months ๐.
In other industry news, rising chip and memory costs have reportedly prompted Xiaomi to consider price hikes across its monitor lineup ๐. Meanwhile, Samsung continues to push boundaries with the recent launch of its Odyssey G8 G80HS, a powerhouse display boasting a 6K resolution and a 330Hz refresh rate ๐๐.
