Mountain is mostly known for its impressive keyboards, such as the Mountain Everest 60 — not its mice. But the new Makalu Max is actually the brand’s second gaming mouse to date. And, in line with the Everest 60, perhaps, it’s modular and can change its physical shape to suit your needs.
The $89 Makalu Max is a wireless right-handed gaming mouse with interchangeable side plates that you can use to transform it from a standard, all-purpose gaming mouse into a mouse that supports your thumb, or your ring finger/pinky, or your entire hand. It comes with four separate side plates (two left, two right) that can be mixed and matched for four different configurations, and it also features a “gravity control system” aka weights that you can add to the bottom of the mouse for extra heft and balance adjustment (sort of — only one of the weight rings is asymmetrical and can be used to shift the balance, slightly).
