Hello everyone, we’re XBAB Tech.

We’re preparing to launch first product: the XA25, the lightest full-size gaming mouse on market (25g)

We’ll share prototypes, testing, specs, and updates here.

Follow us and join Discord for early access and behind-the-scenes development.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@brockliddicoat Sorry, we only got a handful of prototypes in this batch. We’ll do a second batch soon.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

The first batch of XA25 testing prototypes is making its way to the testers!

Looking forward to receiving some insightful feedback to make our final product more polished.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

Note: Our final packaging will be 100% paper and will look much nicer than this.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@Admixues @DumbasseryLol Yep! Just implemented this in the firmware a few hours ago actually. Will be sharing latency test results tomorrow or day after.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

Wonder what’s inside the lightest full-size (>100mm) gaming mouse?

Here’s a breakdown of the XA25’s internal components.

Let us know what you think!

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@Admixues @DumbasseryLol Could you clarify?

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

Inspired by the classic G100s egg shape, the XA25 is designed to be stable in your hand, yet nimble for precise finger control.

@AlexFrost_46 We use a panasonic tact switch. Might look for alternatives in future but it works pretty well.

We will try to ship worldwide

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

What do you want to know about the XA25?

Ask us anything about the mouse, and we’ll answer your questions in an upcoming post.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@AimbotAimy XA25 shape is inspired by G100s so it has some similarities to G305 shape. But it is its own shape. No 3d scanning or existing models were used to design the shape. Compare here: https://t.co/QYJUkk0UpL

@UhhErix Primary clicks use SPDT switches, and the firmware uses latch method to debounce without latency.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

Oh hey these are my babies. 🥰🥰

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@Yoozy0912 texture: Yes this is a concern. We're still experimenting and will be posting updates in some weeks.

scroll wheel material: It's a silicone ring. A glossy but light and clean.

feet compatibility: Yes, latest iteration has flat base.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@DumbasseryLol nope, using latch mode (so, taking advantage of SPDT) completely eliminates double bouncing.

buttons are pre-tensioned to not be stiff and are easily spammable

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@UhhErix Yep we'll be doing all that. We posted some preliminary click latency results a few days ago. Time from electrical actuation of NO pin to data on USB cable averages 65us (2.5us slower than 62.5us, the absolute limit for 8k polling).

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

Click latency testing. XA25 is within a few microseconds of what's theoretically possible with 8000Hz polling.

@ch0miczeq We haven't looked into good bungee designs yet. Purely focusing on the mouse first. Personally I find the XA25 cable almost unnoticeable even without a bungee, but I've never used super-low sens.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@_s6e9 Many cloth cables are just fabric over a plastic or rubber jacket, so the cloth adds stiffness and weight. Some have the fabric directly over the shielding or wires. This can be flexible if the fabric isn't too tight. But this increases the risk of snagging and fraying.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@Michael19156978 No set date yet but we post updates everyday on our discord server.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@MogamiTsubasa_V We will be posting a comparison very soon. Thanks for your question.

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

@Bobby_Bill_85 Not sure yet, we’ll figure that part out soon.
