Lofree Unveils Hypace: The World's First Magnesium Alloy Ultralight Gaming Mouse Sets a New Standard
Lofree has officially unveiled the Hypace, an ultralight gaming mouse that introduces a revolutionary built-on-frame design. By utilizing a magnesium alloy frame with a polycarbonate (PC) shell, Lofree has created a gaming mouse that weighs just 47g (±2g)—as light as perforated mice, but with the solid feel and grip of a traditional shell. The company claims that the Hypace is the first gaming mouse in the world to feature this unique construction.
Premium Build: Magnesium Alloy Meets Polycarbonate
Unlike most ultralight gaming mice that rely on honeycomb cutouts to reduce weight, the Lofree Hypace uses a solid magnesium alloy frame. This eliminates structural weaknesses while still achieving an incredibly low weight. The polycarbonate shell adds a smooth, high-quality finish, ensuring comfort without the rough feel of perforations.
For those familiar with gaming mice, the Hypace takes inspiration from the Logitech G Pro Wireless (GPW) design. Its dimensions—124.41mm (L) × 62.7mm (W) × 37.94mm (H)—are optimized for small to medium hands, making it a strong contender for claw and fingertip grip users.
Flagship-Grade Performance: High-End Sensor and Switches
Lofree isn't just focusing on weight and design—the Hypace is packed with top-tier hardware:
l Sensor: Pixar PAW3950 optical sensor
l Max Sensitivity: 40,000 CPI (overclocked)
l Switches: Kailh White Blade gold-plated microswitches (100 million click lifespan)
l Microcontroller: Nordic wireless master chip
The Pixar PAW3950 sensor offers extreme precision and tracking accuracy, rivaling PixArt’s 3395 and Razer’s Focus Pro 30K. With an overclocked 40,000 CPI, the Hypace offers unparalleled sensitivity options, catering to both low-sensitivity and ultra-high-DPI players.
Meanwhile, the Kailh White Blade switches provide a crisp, tactile click feel with ultra-high durability, ensuring consistent actuation even after millions of clicks.
8KHz Polling Rate & Multiple Connectivity Options
The Hypace supports three connection modes:
l Wired USB-C
l Wireless 2.4GHz (up to 8,000Hz polling rate)
l Bluetooth
A key feature is its 8KHz wireless polling rate, which significantly reduces input latency compared to standard 1,000Hz mice. This makes the Hypace one of the fastest wireless gaming mice available, making it ideal for competitive esports players.
Battery Life: Efficiency at Different Polling Rates
The Hypace is powered by a 250mAh lithium-polymer battery, with battery life depending on polling rate:
l 8KHz polling rate (wireless 2.4GHz) → 17 hours
l 1KHz polling rate (wireless 2.4GHz) → 80 hours
While 17 hours may seem short at 8,000Hz, this is expected due to the high data transmission rate. Lowering the polling rate extends battery life significantly, offering flexibility based on performance needs.
Price & Release Date
Lofree has launched the Hypace on Kickstarter, with a starting price of $109 for early backers. The official retail release is expected between April and May 2025. Given its magnesium alloy construction, high-end components, and 8KHz polling rate, the Hypace is positioned to compete with top-tier mice from brands like Logitech, Razer, and Finalmouse.
Final Thoughts: A Potential Game-Changer
The Lofree Hypace is a bold step forward in gaming mouse innovation. By combining ultralight weight, a solid magnesium alloy frame, a top-tier sensor, and an ultra-fast polling rate, Lofree is delivering a premium competitive gaming mouse that stands out in a crowded market.
With an affordable crowdfunding price of $109 and a retail launch just a few months away, the Hypace is shaping up to be a major contender in the high-performance gaming scene. If it lives up to expectations, it could redefine what gamers look for in an ultralight wireless mouse.
