Delux AIR Gaming white wireless right-handed

An ode to the Delux M618 Air

The quiet vertical that still wants to react sharply

The Delux M618 Air is a strange combination, in a good way. A vertical mouse, so nice and friendly for your wrist, but also built for speed. 84 grams, silent buttons on top, and polling up to 1000 Hz via the USB receiver. You barely hear it, but you definitely notice it.

Why this product?

For gamers with smaller hands

Are your hands shorter than 185 mm and narrower than 85 mm? Then this M618 Air is often a perfect fit. Compact in the hand, without your little finger constantly having to ask “where do I put myself?”.

For those who want speed without sleepless housemates

All buttons on top are silent. That's secretly wonderful if you play in the evening, have a sensitive microphone in voice chat, or just don't feel like click-concerts.

Explanation of use

USB receiver or Bluetooth

You use it via the USB receiver (2.4G) or via Bluetooth. For gaming, the receiver is usually the logical choice, as you can use the highest polling rate there. Bluetooth is especially useful if you switch between devices.

DPI: good by default, even better with a driver

By default, you switch between 5 DPI settings: 800 / 1200 / 1600 / 2400 / 4000. With the driver, you can set these 5 positions yourself, up to 4800. Handy if you want slightly different sensitivity per game.

Driver for gamers

A driver is available. With it, you can reassign buttons, assign macros, create profiles, choose the polling rate, and set the sleep mode timer. Ideal if you want to adjust the mouse differently for each game.

Practical details on the bottom

The receiver is located in a storage compartment on the underside of the mouse. There's also an on/off switch there. That sounds small, but it saves hassle in your bag and saves battery when you're not using it.

Ergonomic benefits

The M618 Air is positioned vertically at 57 degrees. This allows your hand to rest in a more natural posture. Less rotation in the forearm and often less tension around your wrist. Great if you put in many hours, even during long gaming sessions.

Don't miss this either

A quick measure

The mouse is compact: 102.4 x 88 x 67.5 mm. This often makes it a better match for smaller hands, and it also takes up less space on your desk.
