Marsback, a company specialized in the PC hardware industry and technical gadgets brings back a more powerful and higher performance sweatproof RGB gaming mouse. A built-in, RGB lit fan with a stronger cooling blast directly into your palm, less buzzing noise and higher revolution, Zephyr Pro can effectively evaporate sweat to make your hands feel cooler. The free software allows you to edit and configure the mouse and brings you the ultimate gaming experience.

Last year, Marback launched the world’s first sweatproof gaming mouse with an adjustable cooling system on Kickstarter, which had gained support from more than 700 fabulous backers. Now they’re back with its upgraded version. Featuring a PMW3389 optical sensor, maximum to 16000 DPI, with a scan rate of 12000 fps, Zephyr Pro can track at accelerations of up to 50g, and the movement speed can reach 400 in/s. The reliable Omron switches offer up to 50 million click life. There are 7 DPI settings, simply tap the DPI adjustment button to switch between office mode and game mode. With RGB technology backlit, you can customize different lighting effects for yourself. This also increases the competitive atmosphere of the game and brings up your concentration. You can also set and configure all the RGB effects and DPI on our free software program.

In addition, the geometric shell design is suitable for the palm providing you with ergonomic comfort. The Zephyr Pro has a honeycomb shell that helps keep the weight low at around 68g/2.40 ounces.The surface of Zephyr Pro features a delicate matte coating, which is both greaseproof and fingerprint-proof. The mouse feet are made of PTFE material to ensure a smooth movement. and with a 1.8m paracord cord, which is soft enough to reduce the interference caused by friction while being durable.

The Zephyr Pro gaming mouse has 8 inputs, including its scroll wheel. The buttons are well laid out, with our thumb resting nicely on the forward and back buttons as we move the mouse around. The cooling system button and RGB lighting cycle button are sitting beneath the mouse.

“Zephyr Pro’s implementation should deliver flawless tracking, even if you move the mouse as fast as you can.” said Gary Lin, the product designer, “ The ergonomic symmetric design is for great hand feeling and stress-free use. I love the built-in RGB lit fan as I am the one with active sweat glands that produce excessive sweat while gaming. The right mouse is the most critical weapon in your PC-gaming arsenal.”

• Nearly one third of games companies in Germany foresee an industry upswing in the coming year

• More than half expect a positive business development for their own company in the next twelve months

• Around one in three games companies anticipate new hires

After three challenging years, games companies in Germany are looking ahead with increased optimism. Nearly one in three companies (29 per cent) anticipate a positive development in the games industry in the coming twelve months, as compared with just 17 per cent one year ago. 31 per cent of games companies expect a negative development in the industry – a considerable drop from last year’s level of 45 per cent. These are the results of game’s annual industry barometer, which was published by game – The German Games Industry Association. Games companies in Germany look towards their own business development in the coming year significantly more positively, with over half (53 per cent) expecting business to be good in 2026, similar to last year’s number of 52 per cent. Only 12 per cent anticipate a downturn in business, compared to 15 per cent last year. In their personnel planning, the companies nonetheless remain initially cautious: around one third of games companies in Germany (32 per cent) anticipate hiring new employees in 2026, the same percentage as last year.

‘Confidence is returning to Germany’s games industry,’ says Felix Falk, Managing Director of game. ‘Following a difficult phase both here and abroad, positive signals, such as the strong gamescom 2025, and important policy initiatives, like the increased federal games funding and the announced federal tax incentives, are bringing improved prospects and greater optimism compared to a year ago.’

About game’s 2026 industry barometer

The data is based on an online survey conducted by game – The German Games Industry Association between 12 and 21 November 2025, involving a total of 202 German games industry association members, including in particular developers and publishers.
