Kain Series PC Gaming Mice
Born from the vision of creating a PC gaming mouse with the best “click” and aimed to deliver maximum precision performance, the Kain series mice introduce the Titan Click – a new click-mechanism engineered to unlock accurate and responsive controls. Titan Click is a unison of innovative hardware design supported by software that combine to create a better, faster, more responsive, and great-feeling “click.” This faster and more precise click comes from an exclusive variant of Omron switches and software that registers the click signal up to 16 milliseconds faster than any other mice, giving the Kain a speed advantage and letting players stay one click ahead of the competition.
PC gamers will have three models of the Kain mouse to choose from – both wired and wireless – each one offering the same superior precision in speed and control. Available in “Ash Black” and “Arctic White,” the Kain family starts at a competitive MSRP of $49.99 for the Kain 100 AIMO, with the upgraded sensor variant Kain 120 AIMO available at $69.99. The Kain 100 AIMO and Kain 120 AIMO are planned to launch by September 2019 Additionally, the wireless Kain 200 AIMO will offer PC gamers the cable-free version of its newest technology at a MSRP of $99.99 and is planned to be available this fall.
