While we were talking about weighty, extra-weight, or even nugget-like rats, now the new trend is lighter, almost non-existent rats. We’ve been seeing a lot of examples of these lately. These mice, which are called Honeycomb, that is, with a honeycomb design, gain importance especially as competitive games become faster, while Asus brings a new example to these with its new mouse TUF Gaming M4 Air.
Yes, today we will get to know Asus’ new honeycomb designed ultra-light mouse called TUF Gaming M4 Air. Many brands are now back to back producing ultra-light mice with honeycomb designs. Because the weight of the mice is very important for those who work with a mouse at the computer for a long time or those who play games. That’s why light mice have been very popular lately. It is possible to easily recognize these types of mice by their perforated designs used to reduce weight. Asus’ latest wired gaming mouse, TUF Gaming M4 Air, is also based on this design language.
Although the TUF Gaming M4 Air is the same in structure as the TUF Gaming M4 Wireless, it has a very similar design. The only difference is that the TUF Gaming M4 Air uses a weight reduction technique called “air shell design”, thus achieving an ultra-light weight of 47 grams. Thus, the TUF Gaming M4 Air, which has become an attractive option, is designed in an extremely durable structure, no matter how simple it looks. The mouse is solid, which is great news, especially that it is resistant to water and dust. Because in this type of honeycomb designs, the printed circuit board assembly directly inside the mouse is open and this can be damaged due to liquid spills or dust. That’s why Asus has made the TUF Gaming M4 Air water and dust resistant with the IPX6 certification of the printed circuit board assembly. Another good news is that the mouse is covered with Antibacterial protection technique. The mouse, in which positively charged silver ions are used to prevent the formation of bacteria in the coating on it, is an important model not only with its design and these additional features, but also with its hardware components and performance.
TUF Gaming M4 Air uses a PixArt PAW3335 optical sensor with an incredible sensitivity of 16 thousand dpi and a maximum speed of 400 ips and a maximum acceleration of 40G. Thus, it can really meet the expected speed for the players. It also has 6 programmable keys on it and you can define 3 different profiles for these keys. By the way, TUF Gaming M4 Air is a wired mouse, but with an extremely soft cable to enhance the experience. On the other hand, the feet of the mouse, namely skatez, are also prepared with a teflon material called PTFE. Thus, it can glide on surfaces very quickly, which returns you with intuitive gaming performance.
Finally, let’s say that the mouse is compatible with Armory Crate software, but does not offer Aura support. Because it does not have an RGB illuminated surface, but since this mouse is light, we can say that this is an acceptable shortcoming.
Conclusion
In summary, we can say that TUF Gaming M4 Air is a gaming mouse that we think will be appreciated by those who are looking for a mouse with a honeycomb design. It is an ideal option with its design, durable structure, features and performance. The price is not yet known, we hope it will not be offered for sale at a very high price. Because after trying TUF Gaming M4 Air, you can be sure that other mice will come to you like nuggets.
