Introducing Drop Hansker — The First Vertical Esports Mouse

Drop has announced the Hansker Performance Gaming Vertical Mouse, the first vertical mouse designed specifically for professional esports athletes. This innovative device combines state-of-the-art ergonomics with top-tier technology, pushing the boundaries of conventional gaming peripherals. Unlike traditional flat mice, the Hansker positions the hand at a 51° angle, mimicking a natural handshake. This not only minimizes wrist strain but also maintains pinpoint accuracy during fast-paced battles. According to the developers, the device was rigorously tested in 12-hour gaming marathons, showing a 40% reduction in muscle fatigue compared to conventional models.

Beneath its sleek exterior lies the PixArt PAW3395 sensor, offering up to 26,000 DPI and a 1000 Hz polling rate — eliminating lag even in high-speed shooters. Exclusive Huano switches with a lighter actuation reduce response time to just 0.001 seconds, while a dual stabilization system prevents any "bounce" during rapid clicks. The device supports three connection modes: Bluetooth 5.3, a proprietary 2.4 GHz dongle, and USB-C with an on-the-go charging feature. A built-in 600 mAh battery provides up to 120 hours of usage, and its modular design allows for component upgrades — from grip panels to tactile buttons.

The mouse’s body is crafted from magnesium alloy, keeping the total weight under 100 grams. Customizable localized RGB lighting is managed via cross-platform software, seamlessly synchronizing with other devices in the Drop ecosystem. Pre-orders are set to begin on July 11, 2025, with a launch price of $140.
