Following the unveil at CES 2026, be quiet! has revealed the official launch date of its two new gaming mice: the Dark Perk Ergo and Dark Perk Sym.
Designed for right-handed users, the Dark Perk Ergo sports a sculpted ergonomic shape that sits naturally in the hand, supporting a relaxed grip during long gaming sessions. Weighing just 55g, it enables effortless movement and precise aiming with minimal fatigue.
Powered by the PixArt PAW3950 sensor, the mouse offers up to 32,000 DPI and an 8,000Hz polling rate even in wireless mode, and paired with a Nordic nRF54H20 MCU for strong efficiency and up to 110 hours of gameplay at 1,000Hz.
Furthermore, Optical Omron D2FP-FN2 switches deliver fast, quiet clicks, while five programmable buttons, onboard memory, a dedicated DPI switch, and pure PTFE skates round out the experience. Wired play and charging are also supported via an included 1.8m braided USB-A to USB-C cable.
Similarly, the Dark Perk Sym shares the same core internals but adopts a symmetrical design suitable for both left- and right-handed users, delivering the same 55g lightweight balance of speed, control, and comfort.
Both models also support IO Center Web, allowing configuration across Windows, iOS, and Linux via Chromium-based browsers without requiring software installation.
Pricing and availability
The new be quiet! Dark Perk Ergo and Dark Perk Sym are set to launch on 3 February, with each model priced at US$109.90.
