CES 2024 | Alienware Pro Wireless Keyboard and Pro Wireless Mouse debut as new competitive gaming peripherals for esports athletes
Dell has unveiled the Alienware Pro Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, a pair of gaming peripherals that join the Alienware AW2725DF and Alienware AW3225QF at CES 2024 in Las Vegas. In its press release, Dell states that both peripherals are designed for competitive gamers, which many companies claim. However, the company adds that it has designed the Alienware Pro Wireless series by collaborating:
with over 100 esports athletes from across the globe, including Team Liquid, our longtime partner and the most successful team in esports history. Guided by their insights, our expert engineers and designers meticulously crafted our most advanced peripherals ever.
To that end, Dell has a 4 KHz wireless polling rate via 2.4 Ghz and 8 KHz over a wired connection, which equates to 0.25 ms and 0.125 ms response times, respectively. Additionally, the Pro Wireless Mouse has a 50 g max acceleration thanks to its optical sensor, as well as 32 hours wireless battery life. Moreover, the mouse includes 6 fully programmable buttons that have 70 million click lifespans each.
Meanwhile, the Pro Wireless Keyboard utilises linear mechanical keyboard technology and Alienware's linear mechanical and pre-lubricated switches. Dell notes that the keyboard supports 'most 5-pin and 3-pin switches' though, should you have preferred switches. For reference, the keyboard itself relies upon 7000 series aluminium, which contributes to the keyboard's 819.73 g weight. Furthermore, each key is PBT double-shot for added durability.
The Pro Wireless Keyboard and Pro Wireless Mouse will be available on January 11 in Dark Side of the Moon and Lunar Light colour options. Initially launching in the US, Canada, EMEA and Brazil, the pair will reach Asian markets at the end of February and the rest of Latin America in mid-April. US and Canada pricing for both peripherals is as follows:
- Alienware Pro Wireless Keyboard - $199.99/CA$269.99
- Alienware Pro Wireless Mouse - $149.99/CA$199.99
