Infinity Mouse - Design and Highlights

Angry Miao has a history of innovative and creative designs in their products. This statement holds with the Infinity Mouse. Sporting a hollow body design, the Infinity Mouse is comprised of a magnesium-aluminum alloy that offers both a lightweight and sturdy structure. I’ve been quite impressed at how sturdy the Infinity feels while in use, despite its hollow structure. 

As for the design, Angry Miao took inspiration for Inifnity Mouse from the historic Lotus Type 79, an exceptionally light Formula 1 car that redefined what F1 cars could be at the time of its production. Drawing on its simple and elegant design, the Infinity Mouse mirrors many of the same design philosophies. The primary and right mouse buttons are elongated, offering a larger surface area for switch accusation while still managing to set compactly in the narrow mouse chassis. Likewise, the two side buttons, while protruding slightly, still follow the same curvature of the Infinity’s left side, giving the mouse a unified look and feel.

The back of the mouse offers perhaps one of the most distinct designs I’ve experienced, opting for a completely hollowed-out section that gives direct access to the battery cavity(more on this in a moment). It helps provide a distinct and identifiable look to the Inifnity Mouse. While this design helps the Infinity Mouse stand out, it's the gold logo branded on the inside of the mouse that helps elevate the look of the mouse from distinct to classy.   

The front of the Infinity houses a single USB-C port for onboard charging and wired connection. Inspecting the underside of the Infinity, there is one stand-out feature that once again creates a distinction from most wireless mice. It comes in the form of the battery chamber, located at the rear portion of the mouse. This chamber houses a magnetically attached, rechargeable battery that helps create the infinity battery system that will be discussed in greater detail in a moment. 

The hollow magnesium-aluminum body is finished with a matte black coating known as Basalt Black. While other colors are promised after release, I honestly love the look of the Basalt Black. It echoes the simplistic design theme featured in the construction and looks sleek on the desk. Not to mention that it has held up exceptionally well to wear and tear over the past couple of months of use.

I would be remiss if I didn’t include a few words on the included charger cradle. This unique charger cradle not only recharges the two included 340mAh batteries but also functions as the 2.4Ghz wireless dongle for the Inifnity Mouse. It also features the only configurable RGB strip and offers a unique look thanks to its unique design.

Now, about the Infinite Battery system. Angry Miao has patented a unique concept to combat one of the most frustrating aspects of wireless mouse design, namely battery life. In essence, the Infinity Mouse features a hot swappable battery system that allows you to pop out one battery and insert another in under 5 seconds. This is thanks to the magnetic attach points located on both the batteries and the mouse. The open rear side of the mouse makes it easy to pop the battery out and drop in a new one without any hassle at all. It's a simple and brilliant solution to a challenge designers have been working to resolve since the invention of the wireless mouse. 

Another feature to mention is the size and weight of the Infinity Mouse. While not the lightest ultra-light mouse on the market, the Infinity is still impressively light, especially considering it’s comprised of aluminum. Weighing 49g, it feels comfortable in hand and glides smoothly and effortlessly along the desk. I find it quite comfortable in hand as well, offering a fairly impressive balance of size and support for my hand. While it is a bit narrower(measuring 18.0mm (L) x 64.4mm (W) x 39.5mm (H) ) than my typical daily driver, I found myself quickly adapting to the size and, after swapping back to my Razer Basilisk V3 Pro, longing for the lighter, smaller mouse. 

Angry Miao has included three connection types with the Infinity Mouse in the form of 2.4 GHz wireless, bluetooth and wired modes. The mode cycling is handled via a switch located on the underside of the mouse. Each mode is instantly recognized by your PC or Mac and is easy to connect and use. It's a fairly straightforward setup and works well. The only small critique of the system relates to how small the switch is and how deep it is inset on the mouse. It's a bit difficult to switch modes with my larger fingers. Not impossible, but it does require a bit of dexterity to perform the task. 

Angry Miao has done an incredible job with the look and feel of the Infinity Mouse. While other hollow body mice exist, the Infinity Mouse manages to stand out. I’m not a fan of hollow body mice as a general rule, finding them to typically feel flimsy, but Angry Miao has convinced me that there is merit to the design philosophy. The Infinity Mouse is both unique in its design and well-constructed in its execution of that design.

Infinity Mouse - Hardware and Performance

While the design of the Infinity Mouse is impressive, it's the hardware that elevates this mouse above the rest. Featuring a PAW3950 optical sensor, the Infinity Mouse can support up to 30,000 CPI sensitivity, with an impressive 750 IPS tracking and 50G acceleration putting it inline with most esports-ready mice. More impressive still is the 8K polling rate, which once again offers pro level response times.

This is coupled with TTC Orange Dot Optical Micro-Switch V2. First revealed in October of 2024, TTC has completely overhauled the design of their Optical Micro-Switches with a built-in infrared and phototransistor system and optical conduction tech, designed to provide faster and more accurate feedback response when engaged. These switches also provide a more tactile feedback response when engaged and are rated for an impressive 100 million clicks. To help maintain consistency of the switches, the Orage Dot Optical Micro-Switch V2 also includes a unique dust-proof design, constructed to reduce the potential for conductivity issues created by long-term usage and dust build-up. 

In performance testing, the Infinity Mouse faired exceptionally well. I found the sensor to be responsive and precise, never experiencing any input lag or sensor issues. While this is to be expected with the PAW3950, when coupled with the lightweight design and thin structure, using the mouse while gaming was a great experience. The combination of the hardware and design results in an exceptionally smooth user experience. 

As for the TTC Orange Dot Optical Micro-Switch V2, they are delightful to use. The tactile response on actuation feels mechanical while still offering the precision and durability of an optical switch. Additionally, the ‘click’ is smooth and exceptionally responsive, allowing for rapid clicking without a misfire. While I have been favoring Razer’s Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3 these past several months, the TTC Orange Dot Optical Micro-Switch V2 feel so good to use that they are winning me over.

The Infinity Mouse also includes a tactile cycle scroll wheel, which offers solid and distinct notched scrolling. It works great in games as well, offering a great hot-swap option for weapons while in combat. While it is functional, it doesn't have as premium a feeling as some other eSports mice I’ve tested. It's functional but lacks some of that tactile quality I’ve experienced in other mice. 

As for the infinite battery system, while I’ve already praised the innovation of the design and functionality of the execution, I wanted to note that the battery life itself is impressively long. I’ve been using the Infinity Mouse as my daily driver for a couple of months and have only swapped the batteries three times. The one challenge with 8K polling rate mice is the battery life, and yet the Infinity Mouse seems to handle it like a champ. Throw in the hotswappable batteries, and you have a recipe for success, which is the case with the Infinity Mouse. 

Circling back to design, I’ve noted that the hollow body design has unexpectedly impacted performance for the better. Thanks to the aforementioned design, I find the mouse cool to the touch even over long periods of use. Thanks to the increased airflow around my palm during use, I’ve not noted my hands sweating or feeling fatigued from prolonged use.

The Infinity Mouse is supported by Angry Miao’s AM Master software. It provides access to an array of settings, including DPI and macro programming, along with RGB control and debounce settings. At the time of writing, I’ve run into some small issues with the software as it relates to saving settings in wireless mode. Namely, I cannot save settings. While the developer has assured me that these issues will be resolved for the launch, it is something to note. The workaround is to simply run the mouse in wired mode, change the settings and switch back to wireless. Doing this holds the settings no matter the mode.   

Final Thoughts

The Infinity Mouse from Angry Miao is an exceptional mouse. Most impressive are the TTC Orange Dot Optical Micro-Switch V2 and their wonderfully mechanical feel and response, the hollow body design and its overall comfort and the ease of use of Inifinite battery system. More impressive still is that all of this is packaged in a mouse that costs $125.00. Set to release later this year, the Infinity Mouse from Angry Miao is an excellent mouse with a unique and functional design.
