The campaign will run until the end of August, and shipping is slated for October. Availability is restricted to the Kickstarter campaign, where different packages with different price tags ($79.99, $89.99, and $99.99) are on offer. At this point in time, the Zephyr Gaming Mouse is driverless and can only be configured on-device, but a software driver for further customization may follow later. On the performance side of things, the Zephyr Gaming Mouse comes with pretty much everything one would expect in 2020: a lightweight honeycomb shell (68 g), PixArt's PMW3389 sensor capable of 16,000 CPI, Omron switches for the main buttons, high quality pure PTFE feet, and a highly flexible paracord-like, braided cable. Its unique selling point is a built-in fan directly below the palm to keep one's hand cool. Also for those wondering, I did not feel any vibration at all from the mouse, which is awesome.The Zephyr Gaming Mouse is a new and currently active Kickstarter project. If you’re done gaming and decide you don’t need the fan, you can easily turn it off with the button on the bottom of the mouse.


It’s not too strong, but just right to regulate airflow for your hands. These spinning blades may be small, but they offer quite the breeze for your palms. I feel the built-in cooling fan is more than a gimmick, especially for someone like me who has sweaty palms after long gaming sessions. The OMRON switches are rated for up to 50 million clicks, but there aren’t any provided in the box if you need a replacement. Of course, these settings can all be tweaked with Marsback’s free software, and you can set up macros, and save up to five individual profiles.

In terms of tracking, it can track accelerations of up to 50g, with movement speeds reaching 400in/s. Underneath the hood, on the Marsback Zephyr Pro you’ll find a PMW3389 optical sensor, along with 7 DPI settings, with the highest clocking in at 16,000 DPI.
