The world's first 'true 8K' ultra-wideband gaming mouse is here, complete with a glowing dongle that's supposedly less prone to unwanted interference

The Elecom VM800 wireless gaming mouse lit up in blue, with its glowing blue dongle shown above.

I'll be honest—I haven't experienced many 2.4 GHz wireless connection issues running multiple devices at once. Still, it seems inevitable that in our tech-filled homes, this particular wireless band is eventually going to become saturated and disconnection problems will become more frequent. Two of our hardware team have had such issues, so they'll be particularly interested in the Elecom VM800, an 8K wireless gaming mouse with ultra-wideband (UWB) support.

In fact, Elecom claims it's the world's first "true 8K" mouse with said feature (via PC Watch). True 8K refers to an 8,000 Hz polling rate that updates at exactly the same time on both ends of the connection, rather than a regular 8K connection that can potentially report new data from the device very quickly, but might not be polling at the exact same rate at the receiver.
