zeroPoint! Gaming main sponsor ROCCAT have released a new product called the Pyra. The ROCCAT Pyra is a gaming mouse for people who like to play their games on different locations and mainly on a laptop. There are two availible versions of the product, a wired and a wireless one.

We can clearly see that the new mouse looks like its bigger brother, the Raptor fighterplane look alike, ROCCAT Kova. The retail prize for the ROCCAT Pyra will be €59.99. Stay tuned for more updates!

This is the ROCCAT Pyra:

ROCCAT™ Pyra – Mobile Wireless Gaming Mouse Mobile Gaming Power

The ROCCAT™ Pyra Mobile Wireless Gaming Mouse offers everything you’d typically expect from an ingenious mobile gaming mouse in a compact design – and it does it all completely wirelessly. With the same polling rate as a wired mouse (1000Hz) and sensor performance that can be adjusted from 400dpi to 1600dpi, the Pyra packs a punch by offering judder-free gaming with zero lag. What’s more, its ergonomic shape makes it comfortable to use.

World first: The Pyra is the first product to feature the innovative EasyShift[+] button, which doubles the number of mouse functions.

WIRELESS, WITH 1000HZ POLLING

The Pyra offers you total freedom as there’s no cable restricting your movements in any way at all. Gone is the lag problem that other wireless mice with a low data transfer rate sometimes suffer from. With a polling rate of 1000Hz, the Pyra is like a wired mouse in terms of its response time. In combination with robust 2.4GHz wireless technology, your gaming experience will always be interference-free.

EASYSHIFT[+] BUTTON DUPLICATOR

Along with the standard functions of a 5-button mouse, the ROCCAT™ Pyra offers a unique feature that can’t be found anywhere else on the planet: EasyShift[+]. Thanks to EasyShift[+], all the buttons – including the mousewheel – can be assigned two functions such as macros or other functions. As a result, you now have 12 functions available at any one time instead of the usual 6.

PROFILE SETTINGS

You can configure your shortcuts including macros, DPI settings, and the sensor sensitivity level and save them to any one of 5 profiles – allowing you to customize your mouse to suit individual games. You can associate each profile with a particular application so the right shortcuts and DPI setting, etc., are automatically loaded when you launch the game. If you set one of the profiles to be the Windows profile, the Pyra will automatically switch to this profile when you return to Windows. Additional profiles can be saved on your hard drive whenever you want, and then loaded to any one of the 5 profile slots using the driver menu.

MACRO MANAGER

Like previous ROCCAT™ products, the ROCCAT™ Pyra also comes with the easy-to-use, prize-winning Macro Manager. You can use it to assign individual, complex command sequences to the macro buttons, which can then be executed at the press of a single button – giving you a huge gaming advantage! In Advanced Mode, the easy-to-use Macro Manager even offers you the chance to edit command sequences or program in simultaneous command sequences and millisecond-precise delays, just like a pro.

ON THE PULSE OF THE LATEST TRENDS: NOTEBOOK GAMING

Its compact design makes the Pyra ideal for notebook gamers, and indeed any gamer who prefers mobile mice. The V-shape, with its raised ridge on the top of the mouse which is designed to fit the palm of the hand, means the mouse isn’t just comfortable – it also makes it perfect for lefties and righties alike. What’s more, it comes with a practical case and fits easily into any notebook bag. The tiny nano receiver can simply be stowed in the mouse, keeping it safe while you’re on the move without you running the risk of losing it.

ROCCAT™ GRIPTECH

Just like the ROCCAT™ Kova Pure Performance Gaming Mouse, the Pyra features ROCCAT™ Griptech solid rubber side grips which means you’ll always be able to respond quickly, confidently and with pin-point precision even in tense gaming situations. The wide, distinctively notched mousewheel is also rubberized making it really grippy – and the rest of the mouse shell nestles smoothly and comfortably in the hand.

NON-STOP GAMING

Thanks to the USB charging cable, you never need to interrupt your game to swap batteries or charge them. And if the batteries are running low on power, a blue LED flashes to indicate that. You can ensure your mouse gets the power it needs by simply connecting the supplied USB charging cable to charge the mouse on-the-fly. And so that the batteries last as long as possible, the Pyra has standby and sleep modes specifically designed for gamers which allow the mouse to gradually power down, saving battery power as a result.

“It’s the little things that often make a big impact.” Valeri Wienko, ROCCAT Research Assistant
