Batteries. They’re not typically thought of as a significant source of innovation. Most companies have spent the last few years removing mice in favor of more lightweight designs. That’s what’s made the return of the replaceable and rechargeable battery surprising—something I once thought to be a lost technology from a bygone era. A few companies have recently realized that the ability to pop out and replace your battery in seconds is a great way to extend mouse life without needing to increase battery size or efficiency.
电池。人们通常不会认为它们是创新的重要来源。过去几年里,大多数公司都在致力于移除鼠标内部的电池,以追求更轻量化的设计。正因如此,可更换充电电池的回归才显得如此令人惊讶——这曾被我视为一个旧时代的遗物。最近,一些公司意识到,能够快速弹出并更换电池,是延长鼠标使用寿命的绝佳方式,且无需增加电池体积或提升能效。
From the handful of mice I’ve tested with hot-swappable batteries so far, Wallhack does it best. The mouse is designed around the function’s ease-of-use, and everything else comes together to make a mouse that feels not only competitive for gaming, but also well thought-out and satisfying to use in everyday life.
在我目前测试过的几款配备热插拔电池的鼠标中,Wallhack 的表现最为出色。这款鼠标的设计围绕着该功能的易用性展开,其他所有细节也相辅相成,打造出了一款不仅在游戏竞技中表现出色,而且在日常生活中使用起来也经过深思熟虑且令人满意的产品。
Effective Shape: The M-001’s shape is a standard right-handed, symmetrical design. This means the mouse’s left and right sides are shaped identically, but only the left side has thumb buttons. There are two main buttons, two side buttons, a standard ratcheting scroll wheel, and a power switch on the underside.
高效的形状:M-001 的外形采用了标准的右手对称设计。这意味着鼠标左右两侧形状完全相同,但只有左侧配有侧键。它拥有两个主按键、两个侧键、一个标准的刻度滚轮,以及底部的电源开关。
With a length of 120 mm, the M-001 is slightly shorter than contemporaries like the Razer Viper V4 Pro (125 mm) and Logitech Pro Superstrike X2 (127 mm). The overall width and height are comparable, at 63.5-mm tall and a 39-mm wide. The largest difference is the profile of the mouse: The front end sits significantly lower than other mice, and the rear has a more significant hump, which creates a more angled shape overall.
M-001 的长度为 120 毫米,比 Razer Viper V4 Pro(125 毫米)和罗技 Pro Superstrike X2(127 毫米)等同类产品略短。其整体宽度和高度相当,分别为 63.5 毫米和 39 毫米。最大的区别在于鼠标的侧面轮廓:前端比其他鼠标明显更低,而后部隆起更为显著,这使得整体形状更具倾斜感。
When using a palm grip, this puts your hand at a slightly more aggressive forwards angle, with your palm sitting higher and your fingers pointing more downwards. It’s a slight difference, but I found this angle to be better for quick movements compared to a more “flat” design. However, like most shape-related choices, this is ultimately down to individual preference. (To compare mouse sizes, I typically use a website like eloshapes)
使用趴握姿势时,这种设计会让手部处于一个稍微激进的前倾角度,手掌位置更高,手指指向更向下。虽然差异细微,但我发现与更“平坦”的设计相比,这种角度更有利于快速移动。然而,像大多数与形状相关的选择一样,这最终取决于个人偏好。(为了比较鼠标尺寸,我通常使用 eloshapes 之类的网站。)
The two main buttons are lightly sculpted, with subtle concavity for fingers to comfortably rest in. Similarly, there is a subtle taper at the bottom center of the mouse which makes lifting and moving easier. The side buttons use a simple, rounded shape placed just above the taper, making it easy to rock your thumb upwards to press them without getting in the way. They’re just elevated enough that the buttons don’t recess into the shell when pressed.
两个主按键经过轻微的塑形处理,带有细微的凹陷,让手指可以舒适地放置。同样,鼠标底部中心有一个微妙的收窄设计,使抬起和移动鼠标变得更容易。侧键采用了简单的圆形设计,位于收窄处上方,方便拇指向上按压,且不会造成阻碍。它们的高度恰到好处,按压时不会陷入外壳内部。
The only shape-related issue I had was the scroll wheel, which is a good bit more elevated than other mice. This isn’t a huge issue, and I adapted to it after a few hours of use, but it’s something I could see being off-putting for users accustomed to a lower-profile scroll wheel.
我遇到的唯一与形状相关的问题是滚轮,它比其他鼠标高出不少。这不是什么大问题,我在使用几个小时后就适应了,但我能看出这对于习惯了低轮廓滚轮的用户来说可能会有些不适。
(Not) Heavy Metal: The most important part of this mouse’s construction is the magnesium shell, which provides significantly more rigidity than the plastic shells used on most mice. Because of this, the mouse feels incredibly sturdy and solid. The metal shell also gives the mouse a cool, slick feeling underneath your fingertips, which I prefer to the matte plastic feeling that most mice have.
(非)重金属:这款鼠标结构中最重要部分是镁合金外壳,它比大多数鼠标使用的塑料外壳提供了显著更高的刚性。因此,这款鼠标感觉异常坚固扎实。金属外壳还在指尖下带来了一种凉爽、顺滑的触感,我个人比大多数鼠标那种哑光塑料感更喜欢这种感觉。
Despite using metal, it only weighs 53.6 grams, making the M-001 quite light by most standards. It still falls slightly behind the Viper V4 Pro’s 50.3 grams and lags way behind Corsair’s superlight, 36-gram Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight. But the M-001 is incredibly solid, with none of the flexibility or flimsiness that most plastic mice have.
尽管使用了金属,但它仅重 53.6 克,按大多数标准来看,M-001 已经相当轻了。它虽然略逊于 Viper V4 Pro 的 50.3 克,且远落后于海盗船 36 克的超轻量级 Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight,但 M-001 极其坚固,完全没有大多数塑料鼠标那种柔韧或脆弱的感觉。
When compared to other magnesium mice like the AngryMiao Infinity .97 or Corsair’s magnesium-shelled Sabre, the M-001 has an entirely solid upper shell without any cutouts or holes, which feels much better for regular use with a multitude of grip styles (plus, it’s much less likely to have dust, dead skin, or anything else build up inside of it). While the full magnesium shell increases weight, it’s a worthwhile trade-off for a smooth and rigid shape.
与 AngryMiao Infinity .97 或海盗船镁合金外壳的 Sabre 等其他镁合金鼠标相比,M-001 拥有一个完全实心的上壳,没有任何镂空或孔洞,这对于多种握持方式的日常使用来说感觉好得多(此外,它也不太容易在内部积聚灰尘、死皮或其他杂物)。虽然全镁合金外壳增加了重量,但为了获得平滑且坚固的形状,这种权衡是值得的。
It’s also worth noting that some of Wallhack’s promotional material depicts the mouse as being a solid black color, but this isn’t quite the case. The unit I received is much closer to a gunmetal color, with a significant amount of metallic flake across the finish. The color looks fantastic in person, but it’s difficult to properly capture in images.
值得注意的是,Wallhack 的一些宣传材料将鼠标描绘成纯黑色,但事实并非完全如此。我收到的产品更接近枪灰色,表面带有大量的金属闪粉。这种颜色实物看起来非常棒,但在照片中很难准确捕捉到。
Flipping over this mouse reveals one of the more atypical design decisions being made: the lack of a bottom shell. Instead of an entire underside, there is a thin frame around the circumference of the mouse that holds six feet in place. Between them is a chasm that reveals the entire PCB and battery.
翻转鼠标,可以看到一个非常规的设计决策:底部没有底壳。它没有完整的底面,而是在鼠标周边有一个薄框架来固定六个脚贴。它们之间是一个空隙,露出了整个 PCB 电路板和电池。
Of particular note is the PCB’s function inside the mouse: Instead of simply sitting inside of the shell, the PCB works as a primary structural component. Similar techniques have been used in designing supercars and sport bikes, with the Ferrari F50 using the engine block as a stressed member that provides rigidity to the entire car, a technology borrowed from Ferrari’s F1 team. This provides some obvious benefits to rigidity and weight-savings, but it’s also just undeniably cool to be able to flip over your mouse and see the entire circuit board.
特别值得一提的是 PCB 在鼠标内部的功能:PCB 不仅仅是放置在外壳内,它还充当了主要的结构部件。类似的技术曾被用于超级跑车和运动摩托车的设计中,例如法拉利 F50 将发动机缸体作为受力构件,为整车提供刚性,这项技术借鉴自法拉利的 F1 车队。这在刚性和减重方面带来了一些明显的优势,而且能够翻转鼠标并看到整个电路板,这本身就酷得无可争议。
Right behind the PCB is the star of the show, a hot-swappable battery. While I’ve tested quite a few mice with this technology, none of them have managed to make the battery-swapping so satisfying. Instead of being attached with magnets or a rotating locking mechanism, the batteries use a custom-made spring-loaded ejector similar to an SD card or a Nintendo Switch cartridge. To insert the…
在 PCB 后方是这款鼠标的明星功能:可热插拔电池。虽然我测试过不少采用这项技术的鼠标,但没有一款能像它这样让电池更换过程如此令人满意。电池不是通过磁铁或旋转锁定机构固定的,而是使用了一种定制的弹簧弹出装置,类似于 SD 卡槽或任天堂 Switch 卡带槽。要插入……
