Noctua’s mouse uses an upward-firing fan to cool your palm

Noctua has produced a special edition of the Feinmann F01 mouse in partnership with Pulsar. The Noctua Edition is a lightweight 73G design that uses the F01’s open, cage-like upper chassis to allow airflow.

A tiny upward-firing NF-A4x10 5V PWM fan sits inside and is linked to a motion sensor so it starts as soon as the mouse moves and spins down when it is idle. Fan speed can be controlled via the mouse buttons or a web driver across five levels, and it remained very quiet during testing.

The mouse features an XS-2 42000 DPI sensor, supports an 8K polling rate, and includes a standard USB port for charging and wired use. Availability is estimated for June or July 2026.

In testing the fan cooled the palm effectively, a useful feature for those with clammy hands and for sweaty gaming sessions. The design stands in contrast to typical RGB mice while retaining specifications aimed at competitive gamers.
