Titan 1 Mouse Review

Overview

• The Titan 1 is a gaming mouse from Precision Gaming Gear.
• It is made of titanium and is a mechanical engineer's passion project.
• The review was prompted by a post on Reddit.
• The mouse weighs 22 grams, making it the lightest in the reviewer's collection.

Design and Material

• Unique titanium shell, unlike most metal mice which are made of magnesium.
• Shell is 3D printed; the reviewer was surprised by the possibility of 3D printing with titanium.
• Optimized by an algorithm to remove unnecessary material while maintaining structural integrity.

Features

• Mouse has left click, right click, and a scroll wheel.
• No extra buttons: Lacks mouse three or side buttons.
• Wired Mouse: Cable exits from the back to the left side, which the reviewer found awkward.
• Scroll Wheel: Not very responsive initially, improved with use but still not ideal.

Performance

• Utilizes a 3360 sensor with hot-swappable switches.
• Mechanical latency is optimized; releases micro switch faster than competitors (e.g., Razer Viper 8K).
• Mechanical Wizardry allows activation of the switch around 10 ms faster than typical mice.

Comfort and Use

• Designed to be held like a pen; reviewer found alternative grip more comfortable.
• Initial awkwardness of the switch position, but comfortable after an hour of use.
• Aiming experience is described as intuitive, allowing for better performance and higher scores.
• The mouse is notably tiny, dwarfing other mice in the reviewer's collection.

Availability

• Current availability is limited; only one batch made, no plans for another batch by the creator, Olaf.
• Olaf is working on a new pen-like design likely to be sold on his Discord.

Final Thoughts

• Reviewer expresses enthusiasm for the engineering and design of the mouse.
• The Titan 1 has become the reviewer’s favorite fingertip mouse despite its limited availability.
• Excitement for future designs from Olaf and Precision Gaming Gear.
