A4 Tech follows the principle of “more is better” and generously bombards the market with new Bloody mice, which are often not much different from their predecessors. Therefore, there is usually no special excitement around the new A4 Tech products. But in vain, because thanks to the use of near-top sensors from PixArt and Omron switches, available Bloody manipulators in capable hands can become very, very serious weapons. Although the market for gaming peripherals has taught us that such things cannot be cheap.


Take, for example, the A4 Tech Bloody P30 Pro model, which has been in the top sellers for several years, successfully competing with advanced game controllers from Razer, Asus, Logitech and HyperX. Outwardly, this is a completely ordinary black mouse with a neat red backlight, a design in the style of everyone's favorite Razer Deathadder and an official price tag of around $30. What is unusual about her? In addition to a well-thought-out shape and a bunch of additional buttons, this model uses very intelligent Light Strike optical-mechanical switches and the PixArt 3389 optical sensor, which is more commonly seen in much more expensive mice with a claim to serious e-sports.

The series stands out from its competitors due to several unique features. The first is some incredible number of additional keys. If most gamepads are limited to a DPI switch and a couple of side buttons, then the Bloody models can have buttons scattered throughout the body, and their number in some cases exceeds a dozen. Also in this series is full of manipulators designed according to the principles of the so-called gaming design, when the plastic is painted in the style of cars from the first NFS Underground, the body is dotted with decorative elements, and literally every button glows like shop windows in Times Square. Although such beasts have become rare in recent years, the new Bloody models look more interesting.
