QPAD have released some further information below:

"We have been planning to make a mouse for several years now. Until now the optical and laser technology hasn't lived up to QPAD standards. With this mouse we are setting a new standard for gaming mice. Just as with our QH-1339 headset and the QPAD HeatoN mouse pad this is a product which fits right into the premium segment of the market. I really enjoy gaming with the QPAD®|5K, it works with extreme high speed movments that used to be a huge problem for laser mice. QPAD®|5K delivers a micro precision never seen before, and our 5 finger ergonomic shape is fantastic. The design of the mouse is shaped to fit a 5 finger grip and by doing this we make sure that you have as little friction as possible." - Says QPAD founder, Christer Körnbäck

With this mouse we have been looking back at old favourites with redesigned cuts, details and finish, but thinking ahead with an innovative shape. The evolution of materials with new blends, surfaces and coatings are an important source of inspiration, as well as the ground breaking technology. The result is an inspiring mouse that really works great for fast movement gaming." -Says Johan Grape, Project leader.
