MOUNTAIN apart from the EVEREST MAX, also sells a wired mouse, the Makalu 67!

According to MOUNTAIN "...We looked at the market and wanted to fix some of the issues customers were having, whilst still maintaining a low weight. There can be quite a lot of flex in the casing of lightweight mice, so we designed a ribcage casing which adds much more strength overall, including the bottom. This makes Makalu 67 a very durable solution for long gaming sessions and the occasional gamer rage!.."

The lightweight solution for competitive gamers that expect no less than uncompromised performance. Using Pixart PAW3370 sensor with up to 19000 DPI and a unique ribcage design weighing only 67g. Unprecedented performance and a unique ergonomic shape elevate you to the next level.

LIGHTWEIGHT RIBCAGE DESIGN
Molded to provide strength without the need for a subframe Makalu 67 takes light weight mouse design to new heights while introducing an unseen refined style to the existing landscape, offering the weight of a small mouse in the form factor fitting medium to large hands.

A WORLD’S FIRST IN SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Why settle for less when you can get the best? Makalu 67 is the world’s first mouse to be equipped with the latest PAW3370 sensor offering up to 19000 DPI, a very low lift-off distance of 1 to 2 mm and a 50% lower error rate than PMW3389.

VISIBLE CONTROL
Never lose control and sight of your DPI settings with a dedicated DPI button and 4 indicator LEDs. Up to 5 DPI configs between 100 and 19000 DPI can be defined in Base Camp and saved to your Makalu 67, making it easy for you to take your setup with you on the road.

CLICK TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP
With industry-leading Omron switches rated at 50 million clicks you can be assured that it will last you all the way to the mountain top. Optimizations are in place to prevent double-clicking and a Japanese ALPS encoder ensures crisp and satisfying wheel performance.

RGB ALL THE THINGS
16.7 million colors and numerous RGB modes are at your disposal. With individual RGB lighting for each of the 8 LEDs in the ring, the choice is yours. Make elaborate effects in Base Camp or swap through presets via hotkeys and save your favorite configs in up to 5 profiles on Makalu 67’s internal memory. For additional synchronization we also added Razer Chroma™ RGB support.

STAYS COOL UNDER PRESSURE
Prepared for the heat of the battle as well as little accidents the water-repellent coated PCB has you covered, ensuring durability throughout. Cleaning is easy as well, with the ribcage design offering plenty of air flow for canned air to breathe fresh air into Makalu 67.

FLEX TO THE MAX
Our MOUNTAIN Lifeline cable is so light and flexible that you might find yourself forgetting it’s even there. Even the tightest of bends won’t give you hassle. Bordering on magic, the MOUNTAIN Lifeline cable is the last stop before wireless.

LOSE THE DRAG
No need to get stuck in your tracks, with 100% PFTE mouse feet the Makalu 67 will glide like a freshly waxed snowboard and when the feet are worn after many battles and victories? It’s incredibly easy to replace them. Not only are they easily removable, we include a replacement set of feet with every Makalu 67.
