Mountain Makalu 67 Review

Source: The Verge added 15th Oct 2020

Introduction

Mountain is a Germany-based peripherals company founded in 2018. The right-handed ergonomic Makalu 67 is their first gaming mouse and aptly named after the Makalu mountain, which is the fifth-highest mountain in the world. The Makalu 67 comes with the PAW3370, which is PixArt’s current flagship sensor for wireless and wired applications alike. The patented “rib cage” design ensures a low weight along with sufficient hull strength. Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks are used for the main buttons. The cable is of the highly flexible paracord-like type that’s becoming increasingly popular lately, and the feet are made out of pure PTFE. Lastly, extensive RGB lighting options as well as full software customizability are on board, too.

The Makalu 67 is exclusively available through the official Mountain brand store.
