be quiet! Dark Perk Ergo Review
Introduction and Technical Specifications
Introduction
be quiet! might be mostly famous for their cases, power supplies and fans, but they do other products too. We recently reviewed their Dark Mount keyboard. It is probably the most fully featured keyboard on the planet. Tons of extra keys that do wild things, and loads of glitzy lighting. We must confess when we discovered that they were doing a mouse to match, we were excited. What would they do this time? Built in screens? MOBA button arrangements? Fully clear shell with RGB on the PCB?
As it transpires, none of the above. Not even any of the things we’ve grown to expect from a modern mouse. be quiet! have gone back to basics, but stood on the leading edge whilst they did so. Let us explain.
The Dark Perk Ergo eschews the idea of flashy RGB. Not for it the concept of a dozen customisable buttons. It’s not even interested in a brand logo. Instead all the effort and focus has been placed into a monstrously high DPI sensor, crisp button response, insane polling rate and then wrapping all that up in the lightest mouse around. But not like but chopping tons of bits out of the top cover like many of its contemporaries. It’s very clever, in an understated kinda way.
