8BitDo - Retro R8 Wireless Mouse Gears of War: E-Day
A tribute to Gears of War: E-Day
This special edition draws inspiration from the war-torn world of Gears of War and the visual language of Emergence Day. The black-and-red color scheme and motifs associated with the emergence of the Locust evoke chaos and the fight for survival.
Built for battle
Cracked ground, crimson energy, and COG markings reference the destruction left behind by the events of E-Day. Every design element brings the atmosphere of the battlefield to the mouse’s construction, combining thematic styling with features designed for fast-paced gameplay.
Multifunctional dock and durable switches
The included dock keeps the mouse ready for use, extends wireless connection range, and provides storage space for the 2.4 GHz adapter. HUANO switches offer a rated durability of up to 100 million clicks.
Three connection modes and programmable buttons
The mouse can operate via Bluetooth 5.3 LE, a 2.4 GHz adapter, or a USB-C cable. The PAW 3395 sensor supports six DPI levels, while four programmable side buttons allow you to customize the controls to your needs. Left- and right-handed mode makes it easy to adapt the button layout to the user.
High polling rate and long battery life
In wired mode, the reporting rate can be set from 250 to 8000 Hz, and with a 2.4 GHz connection—from 250 to 4000 Hz. The 450 mAh battery provides up to 100 hours of use via Bluetooth or from 26 to 105 hours via 2.4 GHz, depending on the selected polling rate.
Customization in Ultimate Software V2
8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 for PC allows you to change button assignments and adjust sensitivity and polling rate. This makes it possible to tailor mouse performance to the game type, control style, and individual preferences.
